We asked BCBAs what actually matters to them. Then we built it.

• A caseload you can actually manage: 8 - 10 enrolled children typically
• A mentor in your corner: Area Clinical Leaders in your center every week, not on a virtual call
• Peers you can connect with: 300+ BCBAs across 6 states you can actually talk to
• Less admin work: Dedicated center staff handle scheduling, billing, and staffing logistics
• Case support: Structured consultation and high-level clinical access when you need it
• CEUs without hunting: Monthly CEUs, national conference, academic partnerships
• A path forward and upward: A defined career ladder that focuses on one thing - your growth as a clinician

Time Off, Work Schedule & Workload

• Schedule: Monday through Friday
• Almost 30 days off annually. Actually off. 20 days PTO plus 7 paid holidays. CEU days, conferences, company events, and training don't count toward that number. Time off means time off.
• Manageable Caseloads: Caseload is typically capped at 8-10 enrolled children. Dedicated Center Administrators handle scheduling logistics, so your time stays focused on clinical work.

Education and Career Growth

• 6 weeks of structured onboarding and ongoing training for new BCBAs
• A defined career trajectory. BCBA -> Senior BCBA -> Clinical Specialist -> Clinical Mentor -> Master Clinician -> Senior Director of Clinical Services -> Area Director of Clinical Services -> Regional Director of Operations
• Clinical education that keeps up: Access to a full CEU library, 30+ hours of live CEUs annually, and additional CEUs at our annual BCBA conference.
• University partnerships with tuition reimbursements
• Company-paid state licensure renewal
• Company-paid supervision training

Benefits: Full benefits package, including:

• Medical, dental, and vision
• 401(k) with eligibility from day one
• FSA and supplemental coverage options
• Short and long-term disability
• Employee assistance program
• Referral bonuses

Why we are center-based and why we're direct about it.

• We don't offer hybrid or home-based. The clinicians who grow fastest do it through real-time coaching, daily peer collaboration, and immediate access to senior clinical leadership. That requires being in the center.
• If schedule flexibility is your top priority, this role isn't the right fit.
• If becoming a stronger clinician with defined career growth is, then let's chat.

You need:

• Active BCBA certification
• Maryland licensure (or eligibility prior to start)
