Sankofa Behavioral Health PRN Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) – Flexible, Fill-In Opportunities Catonsville, MD · Part time

Apply for PRN Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) – Flexible, Fill-In Opportunities

We invest in the whole family's right to self-determination by providing meaningful, individualized, and culturally relevant behavioral services. We affirm children, teens, and young adults who exhibit social, emotional, learning, and behavioral concerns using the science of Applied Behavior Analysis(ABA) with a strengths-based and trauma-informed approach. We not only uplift the children and teens we service through ABA, but empower parents and siblings of our disabled and/or neurodivergent clients with the common goal of enhancing the quality of life for the entire household through the provision of mental health services, parent guidance, advocacy tools, and group sessions.

Our Guiding Values:

Sustainability- We strive to ensure every person learns strategies they can continue long after our extensive work together

Integrity- We strive to exhibit high-quality ethical services, adhering to the standards set forth by our governing body and the population we service

Growth- We strive to increase meaningful skills for our clients to thrive within their own environments

Nurturance- We strive to provide a learning environment in which our clients feel cared for, heard, and prioritized

Autonomy- We strive to support our client’s freedom of choice and independence

Trust- We strive to create a trusting relationship with our clients while overseeing their advancements

Unity- We strive to maintain a collaborative working relationship, placing emphasis on the team effort that is necessary to accomplish meaningful change

Responsiveness- We strive to produce culturally responsive care that respects and acknowledges the identities and values that are important to our clients

Empowerment- We strive to encourage clients to become the #1 advocate for their own progress

We’re looking for PRN (as-needed) RBTs to join Sankofa Behavioral Health and support our team during call-outs, schedule changes, and new case transitions.

This is a flexible role designed for RBTs who want to pick up additional hours without committing to a full caseload.

What This Role Looks Like

• You’ll be contacted when:
• A staff member calls out
• A client has a schedule change
• A new case needs temporary or transitional coverage

• You choose what works for your availability
• No pressure to accept every opportunity
• Work across home, community, or clinic settings

Why This Works (Especially If You’re at Another Company)

• Fill in cancellation gaps from your current job
• Pick up extra hours when you want them
• Gain exposure to play-based, naturalistic ABA models
• Stay connected to the field without burnout

What Makes Sankofa Different

We are not a typical ABA clinic.

• We use play-based, naturalistic approaches (PRT, NET, Rooted Play Praxis™)
• We do not lead with punitive strategies
• We center culture, relationships, and real-life skill building
• We are a communal team—we support each other and hold each other accountable

If you’ve only experienced rigid, table-based ABA… this will feel different.

Requirements

• Active RBT certification
• Experience working with children
• Reliable transportation and willingness to travel locally
• Comfort stepping into new environments and building quick rapport
• Openness to flexibility, collaboration, and non-traditional ABA approaches

Ideal For Someone Who…

• Is currently working part-time or full-time elsewhere
• Experiences frequent cancellations or inconsistent scheduling
• Wants to maximize their income without overcommitting
• Can adapt quickly and step in to support different clients

Quick Reality Check (Because We Believe in Transparency)

This role requires flexibility. Some weeks may have more opportunities than others. It works best for someone who sees this as a supplemental, fill-in role, not their primary income source.

Final Note

If you’re looking for something rigid and predictable, this probably isn’t your lane.

But if you want flexibility, meaningful work, and a team that actually respects both you and the families… this could be a really good fit.
