Job description:

Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) / BCaBA

School-Based | Daytime Hours | New Jersey

Feeling stretched thin in schools?

If you’re tired of being overworked, unsupported, or treated like a billable unit instead of a professional—this may be the role you’ve been looking for!

At Progressive Therapy of New Jersey (PTNJ), we believe behavior analysts do their best work when they are supported, respected, and given room to practice ethically and sustainably. We are actively hiring  BCBAs and BCaBAs for school-based positions across New Jersey, including Rahway, Passaic, and Bergenfield.

Who We Are – The PTNJ Difference

PTNJ is a  BCBA-owned and operated organization founded in 2003, built specifically for school-based behavior analysis—not volume-driven ABA.

We are specialists in educational settings. Our work centers on collaboration, dignity, and clinical integrity—not unrealistic caseloads or productivity quotas.

What truly sets PTNJ apart:

• We prioritize  clinical quality over quantity
• Our leadership team is  accessible, present, and behavior-analytic
• We support clinicians in real school environments with  guidance, mentorship, and problem-solving—not criticism
• We foster a culture of  psychological safety, professional growth, and long-term career sustainability

Our goal is simple: help behavior analysts thrive so students can too.

• Supporting students across IEP-driven educational environments
• Providing ethical, compassionate, and data-driven behavior support
• Coaching and supporting school staff with practical, real-world strategies

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation: $70–$90/hour , based on role and experience
• Reasonable caseload expectations
• Full-time, part-time, and contract options
• Daytime school hours (Monday–Friday); after-school and weekend opportunities available
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid sick time and flexible scheduling
• Weekly free CE opportunities, journal clubs, and ongoing training
• On-site mentorship and direct access to experienced BCBA leadership

• Experience in ABA (school-based experience preferred)
• Strong collaboration and communication skills
• Commitment to ethical, compassionate practice and student dignity
• A desire to grow within a supportive, professional community

Join a Team That Truly Supports You
