Job Description

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: 15+ days; discretionary time off model — BCBAs manage their own schedules

Health benefits: Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance

Paid Holidays: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Presidents’ Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving day and Christmas Day

CEU support : Free CEUs through BIP Visualized platform; 1–2 conferences covered per year; additional CEU reimbursement available on request

Supervision/mentorship provided: 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
