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.
