Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA)
Location: Des Plaines Clinic
Employment Type: Full-Time | Entry-Level and Recent Grads Encouraged to Apply!
Salary: $75,000–$85,000/year
Instructional ABA Consultants is a BCBA-owned and woman-led small business, where clinicians get to be clinicians. No minimum therapy-hour quotas, no cookie-cutter treatment plans handed down from above. Just a small team of behavior analysts who trust you to do the job you were trained for.
You'll design and lead individualized interventions in homes and in the clinic, and you'll have a team that's got your back while you do it.
We take work-life balance seriously, too. Set your own schedule, work from home for your indirect hours, and pick whatever rhythm suits you. Sustainable careers make for better clinicians, so we'll work with you to find what fits.
What You'll Do:
- Lead intakes and functional behavior assessments to set meaningful, individualized goals
- Administer behavioral, language, play, and skill-based assessments
- Design, supervise, and analyze ABA-grounded treatment plans rooted in precision teaching
- Mentor and evaluate staff to ensure treatment fidelity and consistent quality of care
- Overlap sessions semi-monthly to support your team's growth and development
- Partner with families through monthly meetings to help skills generalize beyond the clinic
- Maintain the highest standards of ethics, confidentiality, and HIPAA compliance
- Meet 120 billable hours/month (including 20 hours of non-face-to-face clinical work), with holiday adjustments built in
- Handle programming, documentation, treatment planning, and data analysis remotely - on your schedule
- Reports to clinical supervisor or senior BCBA
What Makes You a Great Fit:
- Master's degree in Applied Behavior Analysis or a related field
- Active BCBA national certification
- 1+ year of clinical experience with children with developmental disabilities or autism (RBT, BCBA, or Program Manager experience all count!)
- Strong communicator, both written and verbal
- Self-starter who thrives with autonomy
- Precision Teaching or Natural Environment Teaching (NET) background a plus
- Someone who shows up - reliable, professional, and dependable
Also Needed:
- NPI number, CAQH profile, and Illinois State Licensure
- Ability to pass a background check
- First Aid/CPR certification preferred (QBS Safety-Care training provided by us!)
- Valid driver's license and auto insurance (services split across in-home, clinic, and remote settings; up to 30 minutes travel one way)
Why BCBAs Choose IABA:
- Autonomy that's real - build your own schedule, work from home for indirect hours
- Clinician-led, not corporate-led - decisions driven by BCBAs, not a distant corporate office
- Quality over quotas - no arbitrary minimums, just meaningful outcomes
- A close-knit team - mentorship, collaboration, and support at every level
- Room to grow - entry-level and recent grads welcome
