Social Pod Clinician (RBT)

Social Pod ClinicianRegistered Behavior Technician (RBT)Compensation: $22 – $26/hrEmployment Type: Full-time and Part-time positions availableReports To: Program Supervisor and/or BCBALocation: McDonough + The Sensory Spot (GA)Service Setting: Clinic, home, and community-based service settings availableCredential: Active RBT certification in good standing with the BACB (or within 90 days of hire) · High school diploma or GED · Clean background checkWhy This Role ExistsMost ABA companies burn out RBTs within 18 months. The reasons are structural — solo cases, thin supervision, and the assumption that you'll figure it out. We designed KEBM around fixing each of those failures. A supervisor is always on-site. Clinical support is always available. Every RBT has a named next step in a 14-role pipeline. If you've already worked the bad version of this job, this one was built by people who studied why it broke.About UsWe're a five-clinic ABA therapy company with four locations across Southern California and one in Georgia, founded in 2016 by a BCBA with 25+ years in the field. Our team of 68+ professionals delivers evidence-based therapy through our proprietary S.O.C.I.A.L. P.O.D.S. methodology — and our Sensory Spot locations prove that therapy can actually feel like play.We serve every client who walks through our doors — insurance-funded, private pay, open play, and camp families alike. We're women-founded, minority-owned, and we don't sacrifice clinical quality for profit. If you want to work somewhere that's serious about outcomes and serious about its people, you're in the right place.How S.O.C.I.A.L. P.O.D.S. WorkS.O.C.I.A.L. P.O.D.S. is our proprietary group ABA therapy methodology — a pod-based model where social skills, behavior intervention, and individualized goals are delivered inside a structured group dynamic. Here's how it works on the ground:Each pod has 3 to 6 clients with varied diagnoses — autism, ADHD, ADD, Down syndrome, developmental delays — grouped by age, skill level, and goal alignment.The facilitator-to-client ratio is 1:3 inside the pod.A supervisor is always on-site, and clinical support is always available in your pod. Your on-site supervisor is a Program Supervisor, BCaBA, or BCBA, and they move between pods providing real-time coaching, oversight, and support for challenging behaviors. You are never figuring it out alone.We use a push-in / pull-out model: group work happens inside the pod, and 1:1 intensive instruction pulls out when a client needs dedicated skill-building or behavior support.BCBAs and Program Supervisors move between pods providing real-time coaching, clinical oversight, and support for challenging behaviors.Why this matters:If you've worked anywhere that assigns a new RBT a difficult case and leaves them to figure it out — that's not what happens here. The pod is the support structure, built in.Who We ServeKEBM serves every client who walks through our doors — no tiers, no priority treatment, no "real clients vs. drop-ins." That means:Insurance-funded ABA clients (Medi-Cal, Medicare, commercial insurance)Private pay therapy clientsOpen play participants at our Sensory Spot locationsCamp participants — spring break, winter break, summer, and any seasonal KEBM campConsultation clients in adult residential and group home settings (Program Supervisor Master's level only)A camp kid gets the same quality of care as an insurance client. An open play family gets the same respect as a full-time ABA family. If that feels natural to you, you're going to fit here. If the idea of treating any of those clients as less-than bothers you, this isn't the place.The Role — What You'll Actually DoAs a Social Pod Clinician (RBT) at KEBM, you are the front line of behavior change. You deliver 1:1 and group ABA therapy across our S.O.C.I.A.L. P.O.D.S. model, implement individualized plans designed by BCBAs, and contribute real-time observations that shape how those plans evolve. You work across clinic, home, and community settings — and every pod you run has at least one other staff member in it. That's structural, not optional.In this role, you'll:Implement individualized ABA programs — across clinic, home, and community settings. You're the person delivering the plan accurately, session after session.Deliver group therapy within S.O.C.I.A.L. P.O.D.S. — your pod, your clients, your data. Managing group dynamics while individualizing across 3 learners at a 1:3 ratio, with clinical support always available.Collect accurate data and analyze progress — toward individual client goals. You're not just recording — you're reading trends and flagging what the BCBA needs to see.Collaborate with BCBAs, Program Supervisors, and fellow pod members — you're part of a clinical team that meets, debriefs, and adjusts together. Not a solo practitioner.Support open play and camp programming — spring, winter, and summer camps are part of KEBM's full-client commitment. You show up for camp kids the same way you show up for insurance clients.Adjust interventions based on real-time response — not just when someone tells you to. Autonomy inside the clinical plan is expected; we train you to use it.In your first 90 days, success looks like:Caseload running cleanly, data defensible to any BCBA who reviews it, first mentorship of an SPL-BA underway, and your supervisor is already thinking about your Lead RBT pathway.Who You AreYou might be perfect for this if:You hold your RBT certification — or you'll hold it within 90 days of hire. We'll support the timeline; the commitment has to come from you.You read data before you act on intuition — and you know the difference. Good RBTs are clinicians, not just implementers.You want a Lead RBT or Program Supervisor Trainee role — and you see KEBM's pipeline as the path to get there. Staying an RBT forever isn't the plan, for you or for us.You believe "never alone" is a feature — not a hedge. If you've worked somewhere that left RBTs solo with hard cases, you'll feel the difference here immediately.Bonus points if you have:1+ years of ABA experience in a clinical or in-home settingBCaBA pathway progress — graduate coursework, supervised hours accumulatingBilingual (Spanish)Crisis intervention training (CPI, Safety Care, PCM)What You GetCompensation: $22 – $26/hr — published transparently on this posting.We don't play the "competitive compensation" game, and we don't bait candidates with the top of the band and pay the bottom.
