About The Position

We are a values-driven ABA therapy practice serving children and families across the Atlanta metropolitan area. After a deliberate operational pause to refine our clinical model, we are reopening with a renewed commitment to ethical, individualized, and outcome-focused care. Our practice is grounded in the belief that meaningful progress happens when clinical excellence meets genuine respect for the autonomy, dignity, and assent of every learner we serve. We are looking for a BCBA who wants to help shape the culture of a relaunching center — not just fill a position. This is a foundational hire. The selected BCBA will have meaningful input into clinical workflows, RBT training systems, and program development — with a clear pathway to clinical leadership as we grow. If you want to build something, not just join something, this is that role.

• Experience conducting FBAs and developing function-based behavior intervention plans
• Experience supervising RBTs in compliance with BACB supervision standards
• Reliable transportation, valid Georgia driver's license, and current auto insurance (in-home service component)
• Ability to pass a comprehensive background check, including fingerprint-based screening per Georgia Medicaid and CMO requirements
• CPR/First Aid certification (or willingness to obtain within 30 days of hire)
