Center Director, ABA Clinic (BCBA)

Job Description

Job Description

Clinic Director (BCBA) | Center-Based ABA

Aviation ABA Therapy | Provo, Utah | Full-Time, On-Site Leadership Role

WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT

This is not a step sideways. This is the on-site leadership role for a BCBA who has built clinical programs, led teams, and wants to run a clinic of their own inside a growing, mission-driven company.

Aviation ABA Therapy is opening a second clinic in Provo after building a strong in-home program and a thriving South Salt Lake location. We are creating something rare in this space: a company that treats clinical excellence, operational discipline, and family experience as one integrated system. We move fast, we run lean, and the people we bring into leadership are expected to think outside the box.

As Clinic Director, you own the Provo site. You will shape how care is delivered there, how staff are trained, and how the clinic grows from opening day forward. You will report to our Clinical Director and work alongside the CEO and the broader leadership team, with real autonomy over your building and real support behind you. If you have ever wanted to open and run a clinic without carrying the risk of doing it alone, this is that opportunity.

ABOUT AVIATION ABA THERAPY

Aviation ABA Therapy is a Utah-based provider offering in-home and clinic-based services across the Wasatch Front. Provo will be our second clinic, built on something we take seriously: a collaborative, supportive environment where clinicians have the resources, mentorship, and autonomy to do their best work. We believe great clinical care comes from great teams, so we invest heavily in our people, our culture, and the day-to-day experience of practicing here.
