ABA Training Manager

Regional Training Manager (RTM)

The FirstSteps Team is inspired by the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to achieve his, her, their fullest potential. To that end, our mission is twofold: to provide the best possible evidence-based, behavior analytic treatment to our children, and to offer a positive, collaborative, and dynamic work environment for our employees. We are committed to hiring and mentoring a passionate and dedicated team and providing an environment that fosters growth and learning for all. Our greatest reward is the progress of our kids and the knowledge that we are making a positive impact on our families and communities.

The Regional Training Manager (RTM) plays a critical role in advancing this mission. As the first point of contact for new clinical team members, the RTM leads training, supports onboarding, and ensures clinicians are set up for success from day one.

• Support team members in preparing for RBT certification, including facilitating study groups
• Provide ongoing mentorship and clinical support throughout the first 90 days of employment and beyond
• Maintain active clinical engagement through direct services and coverage support as needed

Role Impact:
RTMs are instrumental in shaping the quality, consistency, and experience of our clinical team. Through training, mentorship, and leadership, they ensure FirstSteps continues to deliver exceptional care to the children and families we serve.

Additional Information:
The ratio of direct session hours to supervision and training hours will vary based on regional training and clinical need. Specific expectations will be discussed during the interview process and confirmed in offer documentation.
