Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA)

North Shore Pediatric Therapy • Arlington Heights, IL

6h • $82,000 - $110,000 • Onsite

About The Position

North Shore Pediatric Therapy is hiring a Board Certified Behavior Analyst to provide individualized, data-informed, neuro-affirming care to children and families. The position is based in person in Arlington Heights, Illinois. BCBAs typically serve 6–8 clients, with 16–20% of the workweek reserved for supervision and approximately 28 billable hours. Scheduling, billing, and authorizations are handled by dedicated teams so clinicians can focus on clinical work. The organization offers full-time, part-time, or reduced schedules and says midday appointments do not require using PTO.

The BCBA will supervise RBTs, develop and monitor individualized assent-based treatment plans, and conduct assessments and intakes. The role includes collaboration and often live co-treatment with speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, and mental health providers working with the same children. Family and caregiver training is a core component of treatment. Clinical tools include standardized assessments, functional behavior assessments, behavior intervention plans, skill-acquisition programming, the Care Calculator, STEP Score, and family Report Cards. The organization describes a half-day Prep School that supports children who are working toward a traditional classroom and still need one-to-one support.

Professional development includes free in-house continuing education units through the organization’s BACB ACE Provider status, a $500 annual professional development stipend, mentorship, and a defined advancement path. Total compensation is stated as $82,000–$110,000 including eligible annual bonuses. A separate incentive is described as $50 per billable hour above the stated weekly threshold. Benefits include company-paid portions of medical, dental, and vision coverage, a 401(k) match, and 25 or more days off in the first year, including PTO and seven paid holidays.
