About The Position

The supervision bottleneck in ABA is real. BCBAs are overloaded, RBTs are under-supported, and the person in the middle who should be absorbing supervisory load often doesn't exist — or isn't empowered to actually supervise. KEBM built the Program Supervisor role to break that pattern. You'll run pods, supervise clinical staff with real authority, contribute to treatment planning, and — if you're Master's level — extend your scope into adult residential and group home consultation. This role is where KEBM's supervision infrastructure actually lives. We're a five-clinic ABA therapy company with four locations across Southern California and one in Georgia, founded in 2016 by a BCBA with 25+ years in the field. Our team of 68+ professionals delivers evidence-based therapy through our proprietary S.O.C.I.A.L. P.O.D.S. methodology — and our Sensory Spot locations prove that therapy can actually feel like play. We serve every client who walks through our doors — insurance-funded, private pay, open play, and camp families alike. We're women-founded, minority-owned, and we don't sacrifice clinical quality for profit. If you want to work somewhere that's serious about outcomes and serious about its people, you're in the right place. S.O.C.I.A.L. P.O.D.S. is our proprietary group ABA therapy methodology — a pod-based model where social skills, behavior intervention, and individualized goals are delivered inside a structured group dynamic. Here's how it works on the ground: Each pod has 3 to 6 clients with varied diagnoses — autism, ADHD, ADD, Down syndrome, developmental delays — grouped by age, skill level, and goal alignment. The facilitator-to-client ratio is 1:3 inside the pod. A supervisor is always on-site, and clinical support is always available in your pod. Your on-site supervisor is a Program Supervisor, BCaBA, or BCBA, and they move between pods providing real-time coaching, oversight, and support for challenging behaviors. You are never figuring it out alone. We use a push-in / pull-out model: group work happens inside the pod, and 1:1 intensive instruction pulls out when a client needs dedicated skill-building or behavior support. BCBAs and Program Supervisors move between pods providing real-time coaching, clinical oversight, and support for challenging behaviors. KEBM serves every client who walks through our doors — no tiers, no priority treatment, no "real clients vs. drop-ins." That means: Insurance-funded ABA clients (Medi-Cal, Medicare, commercial insurance) Private pay therapy clients Open play participants at our Sensory Spot locations Camp participants — spring break, winter break, summer, and any seasonal KEBM camp Consultation clients in adult residential and group home settings (Program Supervisor Master's level and above) A camp kid gets the same quality of care as an insurance client. An open play family gets the same respect as a full-time ABA family. If that feels natural to you, you're going to fit here. If the idea of treating any of those clients as less-than bothers you, this isn't the place.

Requirements

BCaBA certification or active BCBA candidacy
Master's degree in behavior analysis, psychology, or related field
2+ years of ABA experience
Master's-level supervisors handle adult residential and group home consultation
You hold your BCaBA or you're in active BCBA candidacy — with supervised hours accumulating. This role accelerates that path, not delays it.
You've supervised staff before and you know what it actually takes — not theory. Real accountability conversations, real coaching moments, real decisions about who stays and who doesn't.
You want authority within your scope — not waiting for permission on every decision. If you're ready to own pod-level clinical decisions, this is structured for that.
You're comfortable with the split — pods, 1:1s, consultation (if Master's), coaching. It's a varied role and it rewards people who can context-shift cleanly.

Nice To Haves

Master's degree already completed (opens consultation scope)
Adult residential or group home consultation experience

Active BCBA candidacy with documented supervised hours

Responsibilities

Supervise RBTs, Lead RBTs, and Program Supervisor Trainees — with genuine authority within your scope. You're making clinical decisions, not running them up the chain for every small call.
Conduct functional behavior assessments and contribute to individualized treatment plans — your clinical work is central to the BCBA team's ability to build plans that actually work.
Run pods and deliver direct clinical services — you're not a desk supervisor. You're in session, modeling interventions, managing challenging behaviors, and coaching in real time.
Consult into adult residential and group home settings (Master's level only) — extending KEBM's clinical scope outside the clinic walls, billable consultation work under BCBA oversight.
Coach the Trainees and Lead RBTs on your team — this is how the pipeline actually works. You get better by supervising; they get better by being supervised by someone present.
Own the quality of your pod's data and documentation — defensible, clean, timely. This is the difference between a pod that's producing outcomes and one that's performing therapy.
