Board Certified Behavior Analyst

Role Description: Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA)

Company: NOVA Neuro Network

Location: Kirkland, WA (Clinic, Home, and Community Based)

Status: Full-Time / Part-Time Available

The Mission

At NOVA, we believe every mind shines when given the right environment. We are looking for a BCBA who views ABA not just as a set of protocols, but as a tool for empowerment and independence. You will lead a small, dedicated team of technicians to provide high-quality, individualized care that respects the autonomy and unique neurobiology of every client we serve.

Key Responsibilities

1. Clinical Leadership & Assessment

  • Case Management: Oversee a manageable caseload to ensure every family receives the attention they deserve.
  • Assessment: Conduct initial and ongoing functional behavior assessments (FBAs) and skills assessments (VB-MAPP, ABLLS-R, AFLS, or PEAK).
  • Treatment Planning: Develop and monitor person-centered treatment plans that prioritize functional communication, emotional regulation, and self-advocacy.

2. Supervision & Mentorship

  • Field Supervision: Provide high-quality, ongoing supervision to CBTs and RBTs (meeting or exceeding the 5% BACB requirement).
  • Competency Tracking: Train technicians on specific protocols and conduct regular competency assessments.
  • Ethics: Ensure all services are delivered in strict accordance with the BACB Ethics Code and Washington state law.

3. Family Collaboration

  • Parent Training: Lead "Caregiver Collaboration" sessions that empower parents with practical, compassionate strategies.
  • Advocacy: Attend IEP meetings or school consultations to ensure the client’s support system is aligned across all environments.

4. Operational Excellence

  • Data Integrity: Review and analyze session data weekly to make informed, data-driven adjustments to treatment.
  • Documentation: Ensure all clinical notes and progress reports meet insurance requirements and "audit-ready" standards.

Required Qualifications

  • Certification: Active BCBA certification in good standing with the BACB.
  • Licensure: Current (or eligible for) Washington State LBA (Licensed Behavior Analyst) license.
  • Education: Master’s or Doctoral degree in Applied Behavior Analysis, Psychology, or Education.
  • Mindset: A strong commitment to neurodiversity-affirming practices and a desire to move away from "one-size-fits-all" ABA.
  • Skills: Proficiency in CentralReach, Catalyst, or similar EHR systems.

Why NOVA?

  • Caseload Caps: We prioritize clinical integrity over volume. You will have the time to actually know your clients.
  • Collaboration: Direct access to the Executive Director and a supportive peer network.
  • Professional Growth: Opportunities to lead support groups, contribute to clinic-wide research, or develop specialized tracks (e.g., Early Start Denver Model or PEERS).
  • Competitive Compensation: High-end hourly rates or salary packages with benefits, including PTO and CEU stipends.
