About The Position

This role is for a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) at North Shore Pediatric Therapy (NSPT) in Chicago (Bucktown), IL. NSPT differentiates itself by offering clinicians a career path with opportunities for growth, mentorship, and leadership, rather than just a caseload. The company emphasizes assent-based, ethical care and provides clinicians with resources. Unlike many providers, NSPT practices true interdisciplinary care, with BCBAs, SLPs, and OTs working collaboratively. They avoid blanket 40-hour recommendations, instead using a framework that considers diagnostic severity, adaptive functioning, age, access to other therapies, and quality of life to create individualized and ethical treatment plans. Many leaders at NSPT, including Clinical Directors, began as BCBAs within the company, highlighting the investment in clinician development through mentorship, training, and leadership opportunities. This position offers the chance to coach RBTs, solve clinical challenges, and impact families' lives.

Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), licensed in the state of Illinois and in good standing.
Strong communicator who is proactive and detail-oriented.

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.
