Why This Is a Green-Flag Clinic

• This is a unique opportunity for an experienced BCBA who enjoys variety, mentorship, and problem-solving. Rather than being permanently tied to one location, you’ll provide clinical stability when clinics need it most—supporting clients, RBTs, and families until a long-term BCBA is in place.
• You’ll also have the flexibility of a primarily remote position while remaining connected to clinic teams through intentional in-person support.

You’d Be a Great Fit If You:

• Have minimum 5 years of experience
• Have significant experience supervising RBTs and developing future clinicians
• Adapt quickly to new teams, caseloads, and clinical environments
• Can provide strong clinical direction without needing constant oversight
• Enjoy mentoring and training others
• Communicate clearly and transparently
• Are comfortable traveling within an assigned region
• Care deeply about maintaining quality and continuity of care during staffing transitions
