About The Opportunity

Next Level ABA is currently seeking a Part Time Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) to support our clients in the greater Boston area. This position is ideal for BCBAs who want to maintain a meaningful clinical caseload while preserving balance and flexibility in their lives. Whether you’re a school-based BCBA seeking additional after-school hours, a stay-at-home parent ready to re-engage with direct work without the demands of a full-time role, or an experienced clinician looking for additional hours, this opportunity offers the chance to make a tangible impact, earn supplemental income, and keep a manageable schedule. Our part-time BCBAs typically work with 1–2 clients, averaging about 5 hours per week, allowing for focused, high-quality care and strong clinical relationships. We are seeking bright, compassionate professionals who are passionate about Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of children and families.

• Conduct, write, and implement Functional Behavior Assessments (FBAs) and Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs).
• Assess skill deficits and develop individualized treatment goals to increase adaptive skills (e.g., communication, daily living, pre-vocational/vocational, and social skills).
• Foster collaboration and consistency across caregivers, staff, and external providers to promote skill generalization and sustainable progress.
• Monitor and document treatment outcomes regularly to evaluate treatment effectiveness and make timely modifications as needed.
• Proactively seek clinical consultation and support to maintain high standards of care and optimize client outcomes.
• Prioritize non-aversive, compassionate behavior-change approaches to achieve meaningful and ethical behavior outcomes.

Qualifications

• Current Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) certification from the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) and Licensed Applied Behavior Analyst (LABA) credential in good standing with the Massachusetts licensing board.
• Master’s degree in Applied Behavior Analysis or a closely related field required.

Experience & Requirements

• Prior experience providing home-based ABA services is strongly preferred.
• Availability for after-school and/or evening hours.
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively within a multidisciplinary team to deliver high-quality, evidence-based services.
• Commitment to ongoing professional and clinical growth, with an openness to feedback and continuous learning.
• Strong focus on training and supporting direct care staff (RBTs) and caregivers to ensure consistency and understanding of behavioral programs.
• Enjoys hands-on clinical work, including caregiver and staff coaching using the Behavior Skills Training model.
