BCBA | $85K–$95K + Incentives | Clinical Autonomy

You became a BCBA to practice. We built a job where you can.

You became a BCBA to change children's lives, support families, mentor clinicians, and make thoughtful clinical decisions.

You shouldn't have to choose between doing meaningful clinical work and having a sustainable career.

At FirstSteps, clinical work comes first. We're a privately owned, clinician-led ABA organization where BCBAs have the time, support, and autonomy to stay close to the children and families they serve.

A Caseload You Can Actually Manage

Our Program Directors typically support 12–14 children and lead clinical teams of 7–12 RBTs, creating the space to stay engaged with your cases, your team, and your families.

We also believe in clear, achievable clinical expectations.

Full-time BCBAs have a 115 billable-hour monthly expectation, with additional incentives for those who choose to take on more. Your clinical workload is designed to be clear from the start, so you can focus on quality care rather than chasing an ever-moving productivity target.

Clinical Autonomy. Real Support.

You know your clients best. We trust our BCBAs to make thoughtful decisions based on the individual child, family, and clinical need.

You'll have:

• Manageable caseloads
• In-person clinical support
• Strong BCBA mentorship and collaboration
• Autonomy in clinical decision-making
• Time to build meaningful relationships with families and RBTs
• Opportunities to mentor and grow as a clinician and leader

And you won't find:

• Oversized caseloads
• Supervision primarily through telehealth
• Pressure to rush clinical decisions
• One-size-fits-all treatment
