Job description
Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA)
Location: Des Plaines Clinic
Employment Type: Full-Time | Entry-Level and Recent Grads Encouraged to Apply!
Salary: $75,000–$85,000/year
At IABA, you didn't get certified to fight red tape - you got certified to help kids thrive. As a BCBA-owned small business , we've built a place where clinical judgment leads, not corporate quotas. There are no minimum therapy-hour mandates, no cookie-cutter treatment plans dictated from above - just a tight-knit team of behavior analysts who trust you to do what you were trained to do.
Here, clinical decisions are made by clinicians. You'll design and lead individualized interventions across in-home and clinic settings, backed by a team that genuinely has your back.
And we mean it about work-life balance. Build your own schedule. Work from home for your indirect hours. Whether you thrive on a traditional 5-day week or prefer four 10-hour days, we'll find what works for you - because sustainable careers make for better clinicians.
If precision teaching, single-subject design, and real client outcomes light you up, let's talk.
What You'll Do
Lead intakes and functional behavior assessments to set meaningful, individualized goals
Administer behavioral, language, play, and skill-based assessments
Design, supervise, and analyze ABA-grounded treatment plans rooted in precision teaching
Mentor and evaluate staff to ensure treatment fidelity and consistent quality of care
Overlap sessions semi-monthly to support your team's growth and development
Partner with families through monthly meetings to help skills generalize beyond the clinic
Maintain the highest standards of ethics, confidentiality, and HIPAA compliance
Meet 120 billable hours/month (including 20 hours of non-face-to-face clinical work), with holiday adjustments built in
Handle programming, documentation, treatment planning, and data analysis remotely - on your schedule
Reports to clinical supervisor or senior BCBA
What Makes You a Great Fit
Master's degree in Applied Behavior Analysis or a related field
Active BCBA national certification
1+ year of clinical experience with children with developmental disabilities or autism (RBT, BCBA, or Program Manager experience all count!)
Strong communicator, both written and verbal
Self-starter who thrives with autonomy
Precision Teaching or Natural Environment Teaching (NET) background a plus
Someone who shows up - reliable, professional, and dependable
Also Needed
NPI number, CAQH profile, and Illinois State Licensure
Ability to pass a background check
First Aid/CPR certification preferred (QBS Safety-Care training provided by us!)
Valid driver's license and auto insurance (services split across in-home, clinic, and remote settings; up to 30 minutes travel one way)
Why BCBAs Choose IABA
Autonomy that's real - build your own schedule, work from home for indirect hours
Clinician-led, not corporate-led - decisions driven by BCBAs, not a distant corporate office
Quality over quotas - no arbitrary minimums, just meaningful outcomes
A close-knit team - mentorship, collaboration, and support at every level
Room to grow - entry-level and recent grads welcome
Salary: $75000 - $85000 per year
