Job description

Employment Type: Full-Time | Entry-Level and Recent Grads Encouraged to Apply!

Here, clinical decisions are made by clinicians. You'll design and lead individualized interventions across in-home and clinic settings, backed by a team that genuinely has your back.

And we mean it about work-life balance. Build your own schedule. Work from home for your indirect hours. Whether you thrive on a traditional 5-day week or prefer four 10-hour days, we'll find what works for you - because sustainable careers make for better clinicians.

If precision teaching, single-subject design, and real client outcomes light you up, let's talk.

What You'll Do:

• Lead intakes and functional behavior assessments to set meaningful, individualized goals


• Administer behavioral, language, play, and skill-based assessments


• Design, supervise, and analyze ABA-grounded treatment plans rooted in precision teaching


• Mentor and evaluate staff to ensure treatment fidelity and consistent quality of care


• Overlap sessions semi-monthly to support your team's growth and development


• Partner with families through monthly meetings to help skills generalize beyond the clinic


• Maintain the highest standards of ethics, confidentiality, and HIPAA compliance


• Meet 120 billable hours/month (including 20 hours of non-face-to-face clinical work), with holiday adjustments built in


• Handle programming, documentation, treatment planning, and data analysis remotely - on your schedule


• Reports to clinical supervisor or senior BCBA

What Makes You a Great Fit:

• Master's degree in Applied Behavior Analysis or a related field


• Active BCBA national certification


• 1+ year of clinical experience with children with developmental disabilities or autism (RBT, BCBA, or Program Manager experience all count!)


• Strong communicator, both written and verbal


• Self-starter who thrives with autonomy


• Precision Teaching or Natural Environment Teaching (NET) background a plus


• Someone who shows up - reliable, professional, and dependable

Also Needed:

• NPI number, CAQH profile, and Illinois State Licensure


• Ability to pass a background check


• First Aid/CPR certification preferred (QBS Safety-Care training provided by us!)


• Valid driver's license and auto insurance (services split across in-home, clinic, and remote settings; up to 30 minutes travel one way)

Why BCBAs Choose IABA:

• Autonomy that's real - build your own schedule, work from home for indirect hours


• Clinician-led, not corporate-led - decisions driven by BCBAs, not a distant corporate office


• Quality over quotas - no arbitrary minimums, just meaningful outcomes


• A close-knit team - mentorship, collaboration, and support at every level


• Room to grow - entry-level and recent grads welcome
