Founding BCBA – Part-Time/Contract with Growth Opportunity
New Reverse Inclusion ABA Program | Childcare-Based Setting | North Carolina
Compensation: $75 per hour, based on experience
Initial Schedule: Approximately 5–15 hours per week, increasing with client enrollment
Growth Opportunity: Potential transition to full-time Lead BCBA/Clinical Director
Help Build Something Different
We are seeking a passionate and entrepreneurial Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) to join the founding clinical team of a new ABA program operating within a licensed childcare center.
This is not a traditional clinic model.
Our program is being developed around a reverse inclusion approach, creating intentional opportunities for children receiving ABA services to learn, play, communicate, and practice skills within a natural early childhood environment alongside typically developing peers.
Our first location will intentionally remain small, with ABA enrollment capped at a maximum of 20 clients at this location.
Start Small. Grow With Us.
Because this is a new program, the BCBA position will initially begin on a part-time/contract basis, with hours increasing as Medicaid credentialing is completed and client enrollment grows.
This is an excellent opportunity for a BCBA who wants to get involved at the beginning of a program and potentially grow into a larger clinical leadership position.
Our founding BCBA won't simply inherit someone else's program.
You'll help us build it.
What You'll Help Build
The Founding BCBA will have opportunities to:
- Help establish clinical systems and workflows
- Conduct assessments and reassessments
- Develop individualized ABA treatment plans
- Establish data collection and clinical documentation processes
- Develop behavior intervention plans when clinically appropriate
- Provide caregiver training
- Recruit, train, supervise, and mentor RBTs
- Establish RBT competency and supervision processes
- Collaborate with early childhood educators and other developmental professionals
- Help develop meaningful reverse inclusion opportunities
- Maintain ethical and clinically appropriate boundaries between ABA and childcare services
- Help establish quality-assurance standards
- Support Medicaid authorization and clinical documentation requirements
- Help shape the culture and future direction of the ABA program
Medicaid Requirement
Because our program will serve children receiving North Carolina Medicaid-funded ABA services, candidates must be able to meet all applicable Medicaid and payer credentialing requirements.
The selected BCBA must:
- Hold active BCBA certification in good standing
- Meet applicable North Carolina requirements to practice ABA
- Be eligible for enrollment, credentialing, and/or affiliation with applicable North Carolina Medicaid programs and managed care plans
- Complete required provider enrollment, credentialing, contracting, and documentation processes
- Maintain all credentials required to provide and supervise Medicaid-funded ABA services
Candidates who are already credentialed with North Carolina Medicaid and/or applicable managed care plans are strongly encouraged to apply.
What Makes This Opportunity Different?Maximum 20 ABA Clients at This Location
We are intentionally creating a smaller clinical environment focused on quality, individualized programming, staff development, and family relationships.
Build From the Beginning
You'll have an opportunity to contribute to the development of the clinical program rather than stepping into an established system.
Reverse Inclusion
ABA services will operate within a childcare environment, creating opportunities for carefully planned peer interaction, generalization, naturalistic learning, and inclusion.
Flexible Startup Structure
The position begins part-time, allowing the BCBA's hours to grow alongside enrollment and clinical need.
Leadership Potential
As enrollment grows, there may be an opportunity to transition into a full-time Lead BCBA/Clinical Director position and participate in future program expansion.
Qualifications
Required:
- Current Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) certification in good standing
- Master's degree in Applied Behavior Analysis, Psychology, Education, Special Education, or related field
- Meets applicable North Carolina requirements for ABA practice
- Medicaid credentialing eligibility
- Experience developing ABA treatment plans
- Experience conducting assessments and analyzing clinical data
- Experience supervising RBTs
- Knowledge of BACB ethical requirements
- Strong communication, leadership, and documentation skills
Preferred:
- Already enrolled/credentialed with North Carolina Medicaid and applicable managed care plans
- Early intervention or preschool experience
- Experience working with children with autism and developmental disabilities
- Naturalistic, play-based, or early childhood ABA experience
- Experience collaborating with educators, SLPs, OTs, PTs, or other developmental professionals
- Experience helping develop or launch an ABA program
Position Structure
This position will begin at approximately 5–15 hours per week during program development and initial enrollment.
Hours are expected to increase as the client census and clinical needs increase.
For the right candidate, this position may develop into a full-time Lead BCBA/Clinical Director opportunity as the program grows.
Be Part of the Beginning
There are many opportunities to work in an established ABA clinic.
This is an opportunity to help create one.
If you are a BCBA who values early intervention, inclusion, naturalistic learning, manageable caseloads, clinical quality, and the opportunity to help shape a new program, we would love to hear from you.
Apply today and help us build an ABA program where therapy, inclusion, and early childhood development work together.
