Job Title: Provisionally Licensed Behavior Analyst (PLBA / BCBA Candidate) – Growth & Organizational Development Track
Location: 3774 Hess Road, Byrnes Mill, MO 63051
Job Type: Full-time or Part-time
Schedule: School-based hours (typically 8:30 AM – 3:30 PM)
Salary: $55,000 – $70,000 per year (based on experience, skill, and overall fit)
Job Summary
Looking for a developing behavior analyst who cares more about meaningful, hands-on work than high-volume caseloads. If you’re someone who wants to grow thoughtfully, be part of a strong team, and contribute to something bigger than just your own caseload, this may be a good fit.
About Our Program
Experiential Learning is a private therapeutic day school serving children ages 2.5–10, both on and off the autism spectrum.
Our model is intentionally different. We integrate academics, behavior support, communication, and daily living skills into a full-day, immersive environment built on hands-on learning, creativity, and student interests.
Our focus is not compliance—it is meaningful engagement and growth. At the core of our work is the practice of independence, not unsupervised freedom.
This Role Is Built for Growth
This role is designed for someone who is on the path to becoming a BCBA and wants to grow in a setting that values clinical thinking, flexibility, and real-world application.
You might be:
- Provisionally licensed and building your confidence
- Preparing to sit for the BCBA exam
- Someone who hasn’t passed the exam yet, but knows you’re capable and committed to getting there
We understand that the test is not the whole story. What matters to us is how you think, how you show up, and how you grow.
More Than a Credential – We’re Looking for a Mindset
We are not just looking for someone working toward BCBA certification. We are looking for someone who is interested in how an organization works and grows.
The right person is curious about:
- How systems are built and improved
- How teams are supported and developed
- How clinical models evolve over time
- How to contribute beyond just their assigned cases
If you’ve ever found yourself thinking about how things could run better—not just how to run your session—this will likely resonate with you.
Who This Is a Good Fit For
- You want depth over volume and value doing thoughtful work
- You’re developing (or already building) confidence in parent training (this is required)
- You like being in the classroom, collaborating, and learning in real time
- You are open to feedback and actually use it
- You don’t feel tied to rigid ABA and are comfortable thinking flexibly
- You want to grow into a BCBA and eventually into a leadership role
- You’re interested in being part of something that is still being built and shaped
We are intentionally selective. We are looking for the right fit, not just someone who checks boxes.
What the Role Looks Like Day to Day
- Supporting assessments and treatment planning under BCBA supervision
- Implementing and helping refine individualized programming
- Collecting and reviewing data to support clinical decisions
- Working closely with RBTs, teachers, and leadership
- Participating in and supporting parent training
- Collaborating with families and team members
- Contributing ideas and observations that help improve the program
- Keeping documentation and communication up to date
What You Can Expect
- Small, manageable caseloads with real clinical support
- Fully school-based (no driving between clients)
- Predictable daytime schedule
- Daily access to experienced BCBAs and leadership
- Ongoing mentorship and honest feedback
- Exposure to how a program actually grows and evolves
Qualifications
- Provisionally licensed behavior analyst OR actively pursuing BCBA certification
- Master’s degree in ABA, Special Education, or related field (completed or near completion)
- Experience working with children with autism or related developmental differences
- Foundational understanding of ABA principles, DTT, and natural environment teaching
- Experience or strong exposure to parent training (required)
- Strong communication and organizational skills
- Willingness to learn, take feedback, and grow
Compensation and Benefits
- Salary: $55,000 – $70,000 depending on experience and fit
- Health plan options
- Paid Time Off (PTO)
- Flexible scheduling within school hours
- Supervision and mentorship toward BCBA certification
Apply If
You are serious about becoming a strong clinician, you care about how organizations function (not just your own caseload), and you’re looking for a place where you can grow with intention over time.
