About The Position

The FirstSteps Team is inspired by the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to achieve their fullest potential. To that end, our mission is twofold: to provide the best evidence-based, behavior analytic treatment to our children diagnosed with autism and related learning differences, and to offer a positive, collaborative, and dynamic work experience for our team. We are steadfastly committed to ongoing training and mentorship of our employees, always motivated to support the next generation of clinical leaders in our field and at FirstSteps. Our greatest reward is witnessing the rapid and joyful learning of our little ones and knowing that together, we are creating more happy days for the kids and families we serve. BCBA Program Director A hands-on clinical role for BCBAs who are inspired by kids, understand the importance of purpose-driven, individualized treatment plans, and enjoy mentoring teams. You didn’t become a BCBA to supervise from a laptop or sign reports for children you rarely see. Most of us entered this field because we wanted to really know our clients, support the teams working with them, and see learning happen in real time. Many experienced BCBAs tell us they miss that kind of work. That’s the kind of work we protect at FirstSteps for Kids. Our BCBAs spend most of their time in the room - observing sessions, coaching RBTs in the moment, and collaborating closely with families and clinical partners. What you won’t find here Oversized caseloads Supervision done entirely through telehealth A culture driven purely by billable hours Instead, our Program Directors maintain manageable caseloads and a strong center-based presence, allowing you to provide thoughtful supervision and meaningful care. Our Program Directors are skilled behavior analysts and compassionate leaders who guide clinical programs and support the growth of their teams. Clients are primarily children ages 2–12, served at our Walnut Creek center and/or in their homes and schools.
