Job Description

Are you passionate about supporting students with behavioral needs in their efforts to succeed in a school setting? Ro Health is hiring qualified behavioral aides now! This role focuses on providing behavioral support in a school setting, specifically leveraging implementation of Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA), with students ranging in grade levels from pre-K to high school.
