Job Description

Where you'll be working: Location(s):

South Bay and Long Beach, CA Setting:

Center-Based, Community, Home-Based, Schools, and Telehealth Population Served:

Children and adults Years in Operation:

Founded in 2021

What You'll Actually Be Doing (aka no surprises later): * Carry a manageable caseload across home, community, school, and center-based settings — with gradual onboarding so you're not thrown into the deep end * Conduct assessments, develop individualized behavior support plans, and lead treatment using a play-based, NET-based, and trauma-informed approach * Supervise and mentor RBTs, with the support of a clinical director who shows up in person when needed * Collaborate closely with families, incorporating caregiver training and building self-advocacy goals into programming * Contribute to a BCBA-owned practice where your clinical voice is heard — and where you can grow into a specialty director role if that's your path

Caseload & Support Transparency (because details matter): Caseload size:

5–6 clients (gradual build-up — no case-dumping on day one) Billable hour expectations:

24–25 hours per week Support Structure: * Clinical director provides in-person support, meets with BCBAs regularly, and steps in for complex family situations * Senior BCBAs mentor first-year clinicians; specialization-based mentorship available (adults, aggression, early intervention, social skills, etc.) * Small, communicative admin team handles scheduling and logistics — BCBAs are not left managing admin alone * Supervision is not tied to billing pressure; flexibility is built into the model

Compensation & Perks (real ones): Base salary:

$85,000–$105,000; hourly rate also available ($50–$75/hr) Bonus structure:

Performance-based raises; early raise possible at 6 months based on performance; additional bonus available for BCBAs who choose to take on more hours/cases PTO:

Mentorship from senior BCBAs and exec director (5-year BCBA); clinical director available for case consultation and in-person support; no billing-tied supervision Schedule flexibility / remote options:

Hybrid model; up to 20% telehealth per case (BCBA and family decide together); up to 20% indirect work funded by payers Additional perks: * 401(k) and life insurance * Laptop and phone (or phone reimbursement) provided * Mileage and drive time reimbursement; all materials provided and reimbursed * Team outings and 1–2 conferences per year * Opportunity to create and grow into specialty director roles (e.g., Director of Adult Services, Director of Social Skills) * Mental health support — flexible time off for personal wellbeing, including extended leave when needed

If it's listed here, it's real.

Why This Is a Green-Flag Clinic This organization meets our standards in: BCBA-owned and operated — clinical decisions are made by people who have been in the field, not by corporate executives Low caseloads with a gradual build-up model that protects clinicians from burnout from day one Billable expectations that fall within a sustainable range Generous PTO with a discretionary time-off model that gives BCBAs real autonomy over their schedules Supervision that is never tied to billing pressure — flexibility is the norm, not the exception We don't certify everyone, and we definitely don't promote clinics we wouldn't work at ourselves.

You'd Be a Great Fit If You: Are a credentialed BCBA Care deeply about ethical, high-quality ABA Want to work somewhere that is genuinely run by BCBAs who have been in the trenches — not a PE-backed company chasing numbers Value a play-based, assent-based, trauma-informed approach to treatment Want the option to grow into a leadership or specialty director role on your own timeline Believe your clinical voice should actually shape the practice you work in
