Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA)

Progressive Talent Solutions • Lakeland, FL

19d • Onsite

About The Position

Progressive Talent Solutions is recruiting Board Certified Behavior Analysts for a well-established ABA provider owned and operated by BCBAs. There are two openings in Lakeland, Florida (Polk County). Work is split among the Lakeland clinic, local schools, and in-home settings, primarily serving clients in Lakeland, with some clients in Bartow and Winter Haven. The employer can match cases and complete initial assessments while a candidate works out their notice, helping them begin close to full hours rather than gradually building a caseload.

The role pays $50–$55 per hour depending on experience, as a W-2 employee. One flat rate applies to direct and indirect work, including paid indirect hours and supervision time. There is no separate lower non-billable rate or lower rate based on client insurance. The position is hourly with an open caseload; when a session cancels, another client may be scheduled. Full-time work is preferred and part-time candidates are considered. The posting defines full-time benefits eligibility as 30 or more hours per week.

The provider is owned and operated by behavior analysts and describes an open-door culture in which the team provides input on new policies. The role offers a flexible schedule and input into caseloads, mentorship through the Behavioral Progression Trainer (BPT) Program, career-planning meetings, special projects, and potential paths into leadership. Training and development include free CEUs, special-topic workshops, paid opportunities to develop and present CEUs, and SafetyCare crisis management training and certification. New BCBAs are welcome, with training and mentorship available for their first role.
