We currently provide ABA Therapy and are actively expanding to include Speech and Occupational Therapy to provide a truly coordinated, one‑stop center‑based setting. Families often come to us at a moment that feels uncertain or overwhelming. Our goal is to make high‑quality care easier to access, easier to understand, and easier to sustain. We’re Building Bright Day To Be Thoughtful and well‑organized for families Supportive and well‑run for clinicians Focused on meaningful, real‑world progress for children Care that feels simple. Progress that’s powerful. This work matters deeply to the families we serve—and we look for people who feel a connection to that. About The Role This role is the operational backbone of the clinic. It exists to make sure that families are heard and guided, that intake moves forward without delays, and that the clinic is running smoothly every day. You’ll be the first person families interact with — often at a stressful moment in their lives. That means being warm, responsive, and organized, even when you’re juggling multiple things at once. Inside the clinic, you’ll make sure information is complete and accurate, the space is ready, and nothing falls through the cracks. The work is detail‑oriented and process‑driven. This is a role for someone who takes quiet pride in execution — the follow‑up that didn’t slip, the process that works, the family who felt taken care of. As the clinic grows, the mix of responsibilities will shift — but the core of the role stays the same: keeping things organized, moving, and well‑run. When this role is working well, clinicians are focused on care and families experience the clinic as calm and well‑run. It is the kind of role where the quality of your work and professionalism is felt and the impact is real, even if it’s quiet. What You’ll Do Support Families and Communication Answer phones, emails, and faxes and provide information that helps our stakeholders (parents and referrers) understand what to expect and what’s needed from them. Keep communication clear and consistent, so families and referrers always know where things stand. Success Looks Like: Stakeholders feel informed, supported, and not left wondering what comes next. Run intake and coordinate authorizations Add and track new patients through the intake process, including sending and confirming paperwork, and follow‑ups to keep things moving. Enter accurate information into our electronic medical record systems (Passage Health). Send required materials to our 3rd party insurance authorization team. Track re‑authorization timelines and required documentation for our patients using Passage Health and Excel. Follow up on outstanding items and flag delays early. Manage schedule with input and direction from lead clinicians. Success looks like: Intake is complete, accurate, and efficient; re‑authorizations start and finish timely to avoid a crunch for clinicians; schedule is achievable and sensible. Keep the clinic running day to day Open and/or close the clinic (schedule dependent). Keep the space clean, organized, and stocked. Coordinate with staff and vendors (furniture assembly, cleaning team, etc.) as we fit out additional treatment rooms. Success looks like: You take pride in the physical space and realize that a clean, organized clinic is a vital part of the care we provide. Help us improve over time Notice where things get confusing or inefficient. Suggest practical improvements. Work closely with leadership and clinical staff to address issues. Help document our ‘Standard Operating Procedures’ (SOPs) so that as we grow, our quality stays the same. Who This Role Is a Good Fit For You are highly organized and follow through consistently. You communicate clearly with both families and professionals. You like having ownership over your work. You take pride in things running smoothly. You are excited to help create the checklists and workflows that don’t exist yet. The work we do and the families we serve resonate with you. Bachelor’s degree or equivalent is required; clinic or health care experience is a plus. Who This Role Is Not a Fit For You’re comfortable leaving things partially complete. You need constant direction to stay on track. You prefer a slower or less structured environment. This role isn’t for everyone and that’s ok. Growth Opportunity For someone who masters the fundamentals of this role and grows with the clinic, there is a natural path toward a Clinic Manager role over time. We’d love to promote from within — but the foundation is doing this job exceptionally well first. Compensation $56,000‑$60,000/year, depending on experience Full‑time position Paid holidays and time off, plus access to the District’s Paid Family Leave Program (up to 14 weeks off) Health care stipend Access to company 401(k) program Based in our NW Washington, DC clinic (Palisades/Georgetown, free onsite parking) Schedule This is a salaried, full‑time role. Core hours are generally 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM, though as the clinic grows, hours may shift based on operational needs (for example, toward a later window like 10:00 AM – 6:30 PM). Like any busy clinic, some days will run a little longer, and some weeks will be lighter than others. We focus on the work getting done well, and we’ll always communicate planned schedule changes with reasonable advance notice. Apply If you take pride in doing the everyday things well — and you care about the families on the other side of that work — we’d love to hear from you. #J-18808-Ljbffr Kona Medical Consulting
