Job description

The Freedom to Focus on Clinical Care — We Handle the Rest

Are you a BCBA tired of burnout, impossible caseloads, and drowning in administrative red tape?

At Tellos, we believe that to provide the best clinical outcomes for children, providers need autonomy, support, and a healthy work-life balance.

We are looking for BCBAs located in or near Columbia, South Carolina who want to take control of their careers while focusing on what matters most: exceptional clinical care.

Work Setting: Onsite / In-person, with up to 25% telehealth flexibility when clinically appropriate and permitted by insurance.

How It Works

Think of this as “plug‑and‑play” independence. You act as the clinical leader, determining the best course of treatment for your clients. We act as your backend operations team.

You Focus On

• Clinical decisions and quality of care
• Practicing within your scope
• Connecting with families and truly building a path toward graduation and independence
• Partnering with your staff to achieve the best outcomes

We Handle

• RBT Staffing: We handle sourcing, vetting, payroll, and retention perks. You make the final decision on who joins your team to ensure the right clinical fit.
• The Paperwork: We handle credentialing, authorizations, billing, and claims submissions.
• Client Acquisition: We manage the referral pipeline and intake process, connecting you directly with families seeking services so you don’t have to worry about marketing or outreach to build your caseload.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead Clinically: Conduct robust functional behavior assessments (FBAs) and skill‑based assessments to design individualized, evidence‑based treatment plans that target meaningful outcomes.
• Drive Treatment Fidelity: Provide competency‑based supervision and mentorship to RBTs, ensuring protocols are implemented with high fidelity and clinical rigor.
• Data‑Driven Decision Making: Utilize visual data analysis to monitor client progress, modifying instructional protocols and behavior intervention plans (BIPs) in real time to ensure continuous growth.
• Documentation & Medical Necessity: Collaborate with the Tellos admin team to ensure all clinical documentation clearly demonstrates medical necessity, meeting payer standards without compromising clinical depth.
• Facilitate Caregiver Partnership: Partner with families through consistent collaboration and parent coaching to ensure skills generalize to the home environment, driving sustainable, long‑term outcomes.
• Ethical Practice: Uphold the highest standards of professional practice and client dignity in accordance with the BACB Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts.

Why Partner with Tellos?

• Full Caseload Available: A full caseload is available for the right BCBA in the Columbia, SC area, allowing you to focus on clinical care rather than spending months building a caseload.

• Onsite Clinical Care with Telehealth Flexibility: This is primarily an onsite/in‑person position in Columbia, SC, with up to 25% telehealth flexibility when clinically appropriate and permitted by insurance.
• No Admin Burnout: Being more independent doesn’t mean you have to handle insurance on your own. Our dedicated team handles billing, denials, and authorization processes.
• Recruitment Support: We manage sourcing and first‑round interviews so you don’t have to sift through resumes. We present vetted candidates for your final approval and provide the backend support systems needed to build a stable team.
• We care! We are committed to building an environment where providers are supported, communication is open, and everyone works together to improve the experience for children, families, and one another!
