Job description

Carelinks ABA is growing, and we’re looking for BCBAs (both P/T and F/T) who genuinely care about doing meaningful work with kids and families! Our approach is simple: be supportive, be reliable, communicate clearly, and put the child’s needs at the center of everything. If you’re the type of clinician who takes pride in doing things the right way and brings a calm, steady presence to your team, you’ll feel right at home here!

We provide child-led, individualized ABA services in homes and community settings, with flexibility built into the role so you can work in a way that fits your life while still giving families the consistency they deserve.

• Complete FBAs and skills assessments
• Develop and update individualized treatment plans
• Review data and adjust programming as needed
• Document session notes, reports, and supervision in CentralReach

• Reliable transportation for in-home/community sessions

Preferred

What We Offer

• Flexibility in how you structure your day
• Options for in-home, community, and hybrid services
• Supportive, Responsive Leadership
• Leadership that is easy to reach and quick to help
• Collaborative, no-micromanagement environment
• Clear communication and consistent follow-through
• Professional Development & Growth
• Ongoing clinical training and support
