About The Position

North Shore Pediatric Therapy (NSPT) is seeking a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) for a clinic-based role. This position offers a unique opportunity to build a career focused on ethical, assent-based care and interdisciplinary collaboration. At NSPT, BCBAs work alongside Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) and Occupational Therapists (OTs) to provide comprehensive support to children. The company emphasizes individualized treatment plans that consider diagnostic severity, adaptive functioning, age, access to other therapies, and quality of life, rather than defaulting to standardized recommendations. NSPT is committed to clinician growth, with many leaders having started as BCBAs within the organization, offering mentorship, training, and leadership opportunities. This role involves guiding Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs), solving clinical challenges, and making a significant impact on families' lives.

Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), licensed in the state of Texas and in good standing.
Strong communicator who is proactive and detail-oriented.
Passion for serving children and families, especially those with autism and developmental needs.
Ability to perform essential functions such as sitting, standing, bending, and occasionally lifting up to 45 lbs. Reasonable accommodations may be made.

Nice To Haves

An RBT whisperer: You find joy in coaching, modeling, and seeing your RBTs gain confidence with every session.
A reinforcement master: You don’t just teach reinforcement, you live it — high-fives, goofy cheers, and genuine praise are your love language.
A data detective: You get a thrill from seeing graphs climb, spotting trends in behavior, and using data to tell the story of progress.
A behavior puzzle-solver: Whether it’s a tricky tantrum, a stubborn skill, or a curveball day, you dive in with creativity and calm.
A family translator: You can take ABA jargon and turn it into simple, supportive guidance that parents actually understand and appreciate.
A little bit playful: You know therapy works best when it’s fun, and you’re not afraid to get on the floor, use silly voices, or celebrate tiny wins like they’re championship moments.
