Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA)

Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA)

Orange County, CA · Part-time to full-time · $90,000 – $120,000

A small caseload, a team that actually collaborates, and a clinic where your clinical judgment is respected.

Grace Connections ABA is a clinician-led pediatric practice in Orange County. We're intentionally small, and we intend to stay the kind of place where every family and every clinician is known by name.

We're looking for a BCBA who wants to do good clinical work without the caseload pressure, productivity quotas, and layers of management that make this field exhausting. If you've been feeling stretched thin somewhere larger, this is a very different environment.

Compensation

$90,000 – $120,000, plus a performance bonus reviewed and paid quarterly.

We also offer a full benefits package, which we'll go through with you in detail.

Why BCBAs like it here

• A small, capped caseload. You'll have the time to actually think about your cases.
• You're paid for non-billable time. No writing reports on your own evening.
• A multidisciplinary team. You'll work alongside speech-language pathologists and occupational therapists, not in isolation.
• Neurodiversity-affirming and trauma-informed. These aren't buzzwords we added to a posting — they're how we practice, and we'd rather hire slowly than compromise on it.
• Direct access to leadership. No regional director, no private equity group setting your productivity targets. If something isn't working clinically, you tell the owner and it changes.
• Room to grow. As we add clients and technicians, there's a natural path into a clinical leadership role — at your pace, not on a forced timeline.

What you'll do

• Conduct behavioral and skills assessments, and develop individualized treatment plans
• Monitor progress, analyze data, and adjust protocols as clients grow
• Supervise and mentor behavior technicians in line with BACB requirements
• Provide parent and caregiver training
• Collaborate with our SLP and OT colleagues on shared clients
• Complete clinical documentation and progress reports within normal timelines

Who we're looking for

• Active BCBA certification through the BACB, and a California BCBA license (or license-eligible)
• Master's degree in ABA, Psychology, Education, or a related field
• Experience with pediatric clients in home, community, school, or clinic settings
• A collaborative clinician who values neurodiversity-affirming and trauma-informed practice
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation
