Part-Time Independent BCBA (1099) – Full Admin Support & Autonomy | Orangeburg, SC

Location: Onsite, Orangeburg, SC
Job Type: 1099 Independent Contractor

About the Role

Are you a BCBA tired of burnout, impossible caseloads, and drowning in administrative red tape? At Tellos, we believe that to provide the best clinical outcomes for children, providers need autonomy, support, and a healthy work-life balance. We offer a "plug-and-play" independence model where you act as the clinical leader, determining the best course of treatment for your clients, while we handle backend operations.

You focus on clinical decisions, your schedule, case modality (in-person or telehealth), and caseload size. We handle RBT staffing (sourcing, vetting, payroll, retention), paperwork (credentialing, authorizations, billing, claims), and client acquisition (referral pipeline and intake).

Responsibilities

• Lead Clinically: Conduct robust functional behavior assessments (FBAs) and skill-based assessments to design individualized, evidence-based treatment plans that target meaningful outcomes.
• Drive Treatment Fidelity: Provide competency-based supervision and mentorship to RBTs, ensuring protocols are implemented with high fidelity and clinical rigor.
• Data-Based Decision Making: Utilize visual data analysis to monitor client progress, modifying instructional protocols and behavior intervention plans (BIPs) in real-time to ensure continuous growth.
• Documentation & Medical Necessity: Collaborate with the Tellos admin team to ensure all clinical documentation clearly demonstrates medical necessity, meeting payer standards without compromising clinical depth.
• Facilitate Caregiver Partnership: Partner with families through consistent collaboration and parent coaching to ensure skills generalize to the home environment, driving sustainable, long-term outcomes.
• Ethical Practice: Uphold the highest standards of professional practice and client dignity in accordance with the BACB Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts.

Requirements

• Active Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) certification.
• Active South Carolina LBA strongly preferred.
• Residence in South Carolina preferred.
• Master’s Degree in Applied Behavior Analysis, Psychology, or related field.
• Strong desire for autonomy and the discipline to manage an independent schedule.
• Comfortable using technology for telehealth supervision and digital data collection.

Benefits

• Total Caseload Control: Decide your volume—full-time caseload or just a few clients to supplement income.
• Telehealth Flexibility: Support for telehealth where clinically appropriate, allowing you to work from home as needed.
• No Admin Burnout: Dedicated team handles billing, denials, and authorizations.
• Recruitment Support: We manage sourcing and first-round interviews, presenting vetted RBT candidates for your final approval.

Pay

Earning Potential: up to $125,000+ per year (based on caseload volume).
Compensation Range: $100,000 - $125,000
