Training Specialist - ABA

Training Specialist

Deerfield Beach - On Site - Corporate Headquarters

At Butterfly Effects, families are at the center of everything we do, and we recognize that our team members make all the difference. We are committed to creating meaningful changes for children and families affected by autism, and we are looking for a Training Specialist who shares that passion.

What Would You Be Doing

In this role, you will be the driving force behind our ABA training operations - ensuring that every technician's learning journey runs smoothly from application to client assignment. You will oversee the scheduling, tracking, and delivery of all technician development programs, partnering closely with regional clinical leadership and human resources to streamline onboarding and accelerate readiness.

Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) certification would be preferred, but we will provide training and support to obtain your certification.

This hybrid position is based in our Deerfield Beach, Florida office and reports to the Director of Professional Development.

Our families deserve the best, and that is why we hire the best. This role requires someone who is both analytical and tech-savvy, detail-oriented, and motivated to improve the way we use data and systems to support our people.

As the Training Specialist, you will:

• Oversee the scheduling, tracking, and implementation of all technician development programs to ensure a smooth transition from application to client assignment.
• Collaborate with regional clinical leadership and human resources to ensure consistent training outcomes.
• Monitor technician progress using internal systems, analyze completion data, and proactively identify barriers to success.
• Partner with leadership teams to problem-solve training challenges and implement solutions that enhance technician retention and performance.
• Provide support to Mentors by facilitating bi-monthly meetings, sharing updates, and ensuring alignment with company training standards.
• Travel quarterly to observe Mentor performance, deliver in-person feedback, and maintain consistency in training quality across regions.
• Conduct RBT Competency Assessments for new hires to verify mastery and compliance with BACB standards.
• Maintain organized records of training completions, competencies, and feedback to support data-driven decision-making.
• Collaborate with the Learning and Development team to recommend improvements to training content, delivery, and tracking processes.
• Serve as a central point of contact for field leaders on technician training progress, timelines, and program performance metrics.

What Do You Bring to the Role?

• An Associate's degree or higher (Bachelor's degree in Applied Behavior Analysis, Psychology, or a related field preferred).
• Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) certification preferred; training and support to obtain certification will be provided if not yet certified.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to organize information clearly and professionally.
• Excellent multitasking, time management, and organizational abilities in a fast-paced environment.
