• Active BCBA certification in good standing

• Active Maryland LBA, or eligibility to obtain one before starting

• At least three years of pediatric ABA experience, preferably in a clinic-based setting

• Relocation assistance available

• Health, dental, and vision insurance

• Generous PTO and paid holidays

Big Dreamers ABA provides individualized, evidence-based ABA therapy while giving clinicians the support and resources they need to do their best work.

You’ll have meaningful input into staffing, clinic systems, clinical policies, community outreach, and growth strategy. You’ll also have the support of an established operations, intake, authorization, recruiting, and quality assurance team.

We believe clinic leaders should know exactly what is expected of them. As the center grows, your billable expectations will decrease according to clearly established growth benchmarks so you can focus more of your time on leadership, team development, and clinical quality.

If you have experience running an ABA clinic and want the opportunity to build a strong center from the ground up, we would love to speak with you.
