Clinical Fellow

Job Description

Job Description

Position Overview

The Clinical Fellow position is a full-time, 40-hour-per-week role designed to support clinical

services while the employee accrues supervised fieldwork hours toward BCBA certification. This

role balances direct billable clinical work with a limited amount of non-billable administrative time,

alongside structured training, supervision, and professional development.

Each Clinical Fellow is assigned a caseload of three (3) clients and one (1) special project.

Work Schedule

• 40 hours per week total

• 30 hours billable (direct client services and related clinical work)

• 10 hours non-billable (administrative tasks not tied to a client)

• Clinic hours five (5) days per week

• Half-day clinic schedule during Saturday sessions when applicable

Billable vs. Non-Billable Time

As a Clinical Fellow, the majority of your scheduled hours are billable. Because this role carries

clinical and supervisory responsibilities beyond direct sessions, billable time is defined broadly — it

is rarely limited to time spent physically with a client.

Billable activities include:

• Direct client sessions

• Supervision (provided and received)

• Treatment plan development and writing

• Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) writing

• 1:1 parent coaching sessions

• Work completed during client cancellations (e.g., covering another session, case

management, or other clinical tasks assigned by a supervisor)

Non-billable activities include:

• Checking and responding to email

• Organizing toys, materials, or other physical clinic resources

• General administrative tasks not tied to a specific client or client material

Clinical Fellows are rarely expected to use non-billable time, given the breadth of activities

classified as billable above.

Compensation Structure

• 30 hours/week at $27/hour (billable)

• 10 hours/week at $20/hour (non-billable)

Pay Frequency Amount

Weekly Pay $1,010

Semi-Monthly Pay (24/year) $2,188.33

Annual Salary Equivalent $52,520

Paid Time Off (PTO)

• Two (2) weeks / 80 hours of PTO

• PTO does not require accrual

• May be used for personal, illness, or rest time with supervisor approval

PTO Valuation:

• 80 hours × blended hourly rate ($25.25) = $2,020

In addition to PTO, Clinical Fellows receive paid time off for the following company holidays:

• New Year's Day

• Memorial Day

• Independence Day (July 4th)

• Labor Day

• Christmas Day

Holidays are paid at the non-billable rate ($20/hour).
