Pediatric ABA Clinical Director (BCBA)

About the role

DV Therapy Learning Center focuses on learning, growth, trust, and transformation rather than simply delivering therapy hours. As an ABA Clinical Director, you will ensure ABA programs are clinically sound and compliant while constantly evaluating whether the work earns families’ trust. You will have the autonomy to improve processes, lead a multidisciplinary team that includes speech and occupational therapy on site, and shape the culture across five locations without a required caseload unless you choose to carry cases.

Responsibilities

• Supervise and guide clinical staff, and make sure every DV Therapy location delivers ABA to the same standard
• Build the clinical policies and procedures that define best practice here, then make them stick
• Evaluate program effectiveness and adjust when the data says to
• Coordinate with other departments when clinical needs cross into operations
• Hold the organization to HIPAA and all applicable state and federal healthcare regulations
• Audit — or assign the audit of — at least 10% of treatment notes every month, with written and verbal feedback to the clinician
• Own the corrective action plan when something falls short, and see it through
• Keep clinical records accurate and confidential
• Lead quality control and audit readiness, and collaborate with clinical leaders inside and outside DV Therapy
• Work with the Talent Relationship Team to recruit, interview, hire, train, and retain clinical staff — you'll be a real partner in who joins this team
• Build professional development that people actually want, not compliance hours
• Conduct performance evaluations and address staff concerns directly
• Give the intake process the clinical feedback it needs to place clients well
• Take on client concerns while they're clinical, and hand off cleanly to upper management when they're not
• Build and hold relationships with referring providers, insurance partners, and regulatory agencies
• Advocate for what clients need and turn that into changes in how we deliver
• Help plan budgets for clinical programs and resources
• Use resources efficiently without letting quality slip — and say so when the two are in conflict
• Monitor clinical productivity and adjust workflows when the numbers or the clinicians tell you something isn't working
• You are not expected to carry a caseload unless you choose to do so

Requirements

• Master's degree in Applied Behavior Analysis, Psychology, Counseling, Education, Special Education, Child Development, Social Work, or a related field
• BCBA in good standing with the BACB
• At least five years of BCBA certified experience
• Two+ years in a leadership role
• Someone who can run multiple priorities in a moving environment without waiting to be managed
• A real service mentality — you measure yourself by what clients and clinicians get, not by what got documented
• Someone who spots the gap, builds the plan, executes it, and then checks whether it actually worked
• Someone who understands the importance of being present in all five locations (this doesn’t mean in‑person in every location every day, but this person needs to be ok with a regular cadence in every center with more frequency to our largest centers in Palmdale and Bakersfield)

Benefits

• Paid time off, paid holidays, and sick time
• 401(k) with a company match on up to 5%
• Health insurance plus free mental‑health consultations through LifeCare
• Professional Liability Insurance included
• CEU reimbursement, gym and phone plans, and extras — gym stipend, phone plan, LifeMart discounts
• Discretionary Bonus Profit Sharing Program

Base salary: $100K – $110K per year (no hidden bonuses).
