Job description

Must be located in Indiana

Come join our Family-Focused Team!

We are led by some of Central Indiana's most-respected ASD leaders. We believe in a family-centered approach to therapy and our staff. Let's build a better tomorrow together!

We are seeking a BCBA to add to their team that encompasses our vision of dedication, heart, and collaboration to improve the lives of children with Autism. We provide ABA services in center, home, and school settings.

We believe strongly that our mission is one that not only centers on the individual with autism, but the whole family. It's pretty simple! However, our mission is our passion, and we carry that out each day.

As BCBA with us, you will hold a caseload of 7-8 clients. Other professional opportunities such as collaborating with other disciplines, serving schools, and assisting in support group therapy are fulfilling and help to build experience. Our center is located in the historical district of New Augusta.

We provide a meaningful and impactful opportunity to participate in a home-like atmosphere, classroom-like environments, as well as the community setting, as needed. We value our staff and invest in their professional development, financial future, and workplace culture. We are a small center and do not plan to grow into other business location sites.

We pride ourselves with a low to no drama policy and low therapist turnover.

Health Insurance, paid holidays, 401K, continuing education reimbursement, and other benefits are available.
