Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA)

Annual compensation: $82,000–$110,000 Job Type: Full-time Work Setting: In-person, clinic Location: Elmhurst, IL Let’s be real: not all therapy companies are created equal. Some places give you a title and a caseload. At Gracent Pediatric Therapy , you get something different: a career you’re proud to talk about because you can point to the kids who are speaking their first words, eating family meals for the first time, or finally thriving in a classroom because of the work you and your team led. We’re the kind of company where: You’ll actually feel good wearing the swag, because it represents a place that values assent-based, ethical care and backs clinicians with real resources. Unlike most providers, our centers practice true interdisciplinary care. BCBAs, SLPs, and OTs providers working side by side, often co-treating, so kids get support that reflects the whole picture of who they are. When someone asks, “So what do you do?” you won’t just say “I’m a BCBA.” You’ll tell them you work at one of the few companies that refuses blanket 40-hour recommendations. While others default to preset buckets, we use a framework that considers diagnostic severity, adaptive functioning, age, access to other therapies, and quality of life. The result? Recommendations that are individualized, ethical, and built around the child and family in front of us. Growth isn’t a buzzword here — it’s a path. Many of our leaders, including Clinical Directors, started as BCBAs at PCT. We’re known for giving clinicians the mentorship, training, and opportunities they need to step into leadership when they’re ready. This is an opportunity to do the best work of your career — guiding dedicated RBTs, solving meaningful clinical challenges, and impacting the lives of families every single day. Who Will Love This Job: An RBT whisperer: You find joy in coaching, modeling, and seeing your RBTs gain confidence with every session. A reinforcement master: You don’t just teach reinforcement, you live it — high-fives, goofy cheers, and genuine praise are your love language. A data detective: You get a thrill from seeing graphs climb, spotting trends in behavior, and using data to tell the story of progress. A behavior puzzle-solver: Whether it’s a tricky tantrum, a stubborn skill, or a curveball day, you dive in with creativity and calm. A family translator: You can take ABA jargon and turn it into simple, supportive guidance that parents actually understand and appreciate. A little bit playful: You know therapy works best when it’s fun, and you’re not afraid to get on the floor, use silly voices, or celebrate tiny wins like they’re championship moments. What You’ll Do Provide clinical oversight and supervision for RBTs. Write and monitor individualized treatment plans that reflect ethical, assent-based care. Coach, mentor, and train RBTs to ensure best practices. Partner with families to set meaningful goals and celebrate progress. Collaborate with SLPs and OTs providers to deliver wraparound care. Ensure documentation and treatment plans meet high clinical standards. Build a culture of support, growth, and collaboration. What You Bring: Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) , licensed in the state of Illinois and in good standing. Strong communicator who is proactive and detail-oriented.
