Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) — Part-Time, Weaverville / North Asheville About the Lighthouse Lighthouse is a specialized agency dedicated to providing top-quality Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy services for children with autism. Our mission is to empower these children and their families by implementing evidence-based interventions that promote skill development, independence, and improved communication. We value compassion, dedication, and professional growth, placing a strong focus on fostering a supportive environment where our team members can grow and thrive. Job Description Lighthouse is seeking a dedicated Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) for a specific part-time opening in the Weaverville area, just north of Asheville. You will provide one-on-one ABA therapy to a 10-year-old boy with autism in his home, under the supervision of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst.

Schedule — please read before applying This position is up to 15 hours per week, scheduled within the family's available windows: • Monday – Friday, 3:30 PM – 6:00 PM • Sunday, 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM Your specific days will be set with the family and your supervising BCBA, and will then stay consistent week to week. This is a defined, recurring schedule — not an on-call or variable role. All sessions take place in the client's home in Weaverville (Buncombe County), a short drive north of Asheville. Mileage is reimbursed. We are only able to consider applicants who are consistently available on weekday late afternoons and/or Sunday early afternoons.
