Entry Level Registered Behavioral Therapist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level registered behavioral therapist job?
Start by completing your RBT certification through the Behavior Analyst Certification Board, which requires 40 hours of supervised training and a passing score on the competency assessment. At the entry level, employers care most about hands-on experience with clients, so internships, practicum hours, or volunteer work in applied behavior analysis settings give you a real edge. A clear, concise resume that highlights supervised hours and any ABA-specific coursework helps you stand out in a competitive applicant pool.
Which companies hire entry level registered behavioral therapists?
Companies hiring entry level registered behavioral therapists right now include Optum, UCHealth, and Justice Resource Institute, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hiring at this level comes from a broad mix of employers, including autism treatment centers, home health agencies, school-based therapy providers, and behavioral health clinics that actively train new staff.
Are there remote entry level registered behavioral therapist jobs?
Yes, though most positions at this level involve direct, in-person client work. About 16% of entry level registered behavioral therapist openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those roles typically involve telehealth parent training, data entry, or program oversight rather than direct one-on-one therapy sessions with clients.
Are these new grad registered behavioral therapist jobs?
Yes, the openings on this page include new grad, recent graduate, and junior registered behavioral therapist roles. A posting is new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, counts internships or supervised practicum hours toward qualifications, or lists an RBT certification as sufficient without requiring prior full-time employment. If you recently completed your training, these listings are written with candidates like you in mind.
Which industries hire the most entry level registered behavioral therapists?
Entry Level registered behavioral therapist roles concentrate in Healthcare & Medical Services, Non-Profit & Social Services, and Education, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive entry level hiring because they operate high-volume service delivery models that depend on trained frontline therapists to implement individualized treatment plans under the supervision of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst.
