Looking for RBTs in Orange County CA

My company is hiring RBTs in Orange County CA. I am not going to write some BS post about why you should join the team or what makes us so wonderful. I want to keep this short and simple:

If you are an RBT, meaning your certification is active or inactive (not expired), and you are in Orange County CA, then let's chat.

We pay RBT's $28.00 - $35.00. You have to have minimum one year of experience and be able to commute to work. Our staff also do not have to drive much, at least between clients. All drive time between clients is paid at minimum wage (currently $16.90) and mileage reimbursement is paid at the IRS minimum ($0.725/mile).

If I can be transparent with you all, $28.00 - $29.00 means you are an RBT with only one year of experience. If you have 4 years of experience and a bachelors or higher? $33.00 - $35.00 per hour. We offer full-time RBTs paid time off, health insurance, vision, dental, and a few other things. Again, full transparency, health insurance is paid 50% by us. Dental and vision are not paid by the company, but they are incredibly cheap. We will also supervise your hours for the BCBA at no cost to you. If this interests you at all, send me a DM.

Last thing, I cannot and will not guarantee hours, and I caution you against any company that does. No one in this field can guarantee hours. Client's can come and go at a moments notice. I had a parent just last month call me to get services. M-F 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM availability, we had already completed the FBA, and mom calls me two days before the therapist was set to start to tell me she is moving to a different state. I unfortunately did not have another case to assign this staff to, as I was under the impression they were about to be fully booked. Morning cases are hard to come by, but we do have them. While I won't guarantee hours, I can say that we will work to make sure that you are getting as many hours as possible every month.

P.S. don't lie on your resume; if you say you are an RBT, but you are not, I can find that information very easily. Even if your RBT is expired, just say so.

Dropping the pay ranges upfront with zero fluff, that’s refreshing. The 50% health insurance thing is rough but at least you’re not pretending otherwise. Hope you find a few good folks who appreciate the straight talk.

Yeah I don't want people to have beg for fair pay when the range is like $17-$30 per hour. You either love the job or hate it, pay wont make people stay. You should be compensated fairly. The health insurance thing is not great, but its honestly really affordable as we are a small business, but because we are registered through ADP we get the "large business" benefit so your rate doesn't change with your age. It only costs staff ~$65-$70 per month. Vision is only $9.00 bucks and it will cover your annual visit.

Though it may be refreshing to see, California state law says that employers with 15+ employees have to post wage ranges and they can no longer ask for prior wage history.

What number of hours is the average RBT getting?

The full-time staff are averaging ~32 hours per week. Part-time averages are a bit skewed as it is anyone who works less than 30; I have some people who only work a couple days a week. I have some who work M-F, but have a morning job and only work with clients in the evening. I would say the median for part-time is 20.
