About the Role

This is a unique opportunity for a BCBA interested in helping develop and lead an ABA service line within an established behavioral health organization serving children, families, foster care, adoption, and trauma-focused populations throughout Utah.

Success in this role means balancing clinical expertise with emotional intelligence, strong communication, accountability, and a solutions-oriented mindset.

This role carries significant influence across both client outcomes and team culture, as you are not only responsible for the quality and effectiveness of treatment, but also serve as a key source of support, guidance, and trust for families and team members.

• Ensure documentation, treatment plans, progress notes, and supervision records are completed accurately and within required timelines to support compliance and billing integrity.
• Maintain strong and collaborative communication with families, caregivers, clinical leadership, and interdisciplinary providers.
• Support caregivers with education, coaching, and treatment collaboration in a way that is empowering, respectful, and aligned with client goals.
• Maintain a high standard of ethical and professional conduct in alignment with BCBA Ethics Code requirements, payer expectations, and Touchstone values.
• Be dependable with scheduling, communication, responsiveness, and follow-through, recognizing the importance of consistency in clinical care.
• Be open to feedback, collaboration, and ongoing professional growth to strengthen clinical effectiveness and team development.
