• Hybrid structure

This is a full-time professional role, but we do not expect the BCBA to sit in an office simply to fill 40 hours. We value flexibility, accountability, clinical quality, and appropriate availability to clients and staff.

Benefits

• 401(k)

• 3% company match

• Paid time off

• Paid holidays

• Employee Assistance Program

• Flexible scheduling

• Professional development opportunities

• Clinical mentorship

• Leadership and program-development opportunities

Who We’re Looking For

We are looking for someone who is clinically strong, organized, collaborative, and comfortable taking ownership of cases. The ideal BCBA understands that effective ABA is about much more than reducing challenging behavior. We value clinicians who focus on functional communication, adaptive skills, independence, coping, social development, and meaningful improvements in everyday life. Strong pediatric ABA experience is preferred.
