Lead Social Pod Clinician
About The Position
KEBM designed the Lead Social Pod Clinician role deliberately to refuse the pattern of promoting good RBTs to 'Lead RBT' without proper training, authority, or compensation. This is a senior peer mentor role, not a supervisory one. You'll mentor RBTs and SPLs, coach in real time, and carry a senior caseload, while supervisory authority remains with the Program Supervisor, Clinic Manager, and BCBA team. This role offers a clear scope, clear boundaries, and a clear next step in your career. Your week will consist of 75% clinical work and 25% administrative tasks, both designed with your BCaBA or BCBA pathway in mind. KEBM is a five-clinic ABA therapy company founded in 2016 by a BCBA with over 25 years of experience. We serve clients through our proprietary S.O.C.I.A.L. P.O.D.S. methodology, making therapy feel like play. We are women-founded, minority-owned, and prioritize clinical quality and outcomes for our people.
Requirements
- Active RBT Certification (BACB) in good standing
- 12+ months of ABA experience
- Clean background check
- Understanding the difference between mentoring and supervising and being comfortable not being the supervisor.

Responsibilities
- Mentor and coach RBTs, SPL-BAs, and SPL-HS staff in real time during sessions, in pod transitions, and on data review.
- Carry a senior clinical caseload, including complex cases, high-fidelity intervention delivery, and crisis support (30 hours per week of direct clinical work).
- Support the training and onboarding of new RBTs and SPLs through hands-on, in-session guidance.
- Contribute to FBAs and treatment plans under the direction of Program Supervisors and BCBAs, using observations from the pod floor.
- Escalate supervisory matters immediately, including performance concerns, clinical decisions requiring supervisor authority, and interpersonal issues within the pod.
