Clinical Supervisor - BCBA Adaptive Skills

• Location: Bakersfield, CA
• Schedule: Flexible, Monday - Friday, 8am - 5pm, minimal evenings and weekends
• Language: English
• Salary: $78,000 - $82,000

Lead With Heart. Grow With Purpose. Shape Lives Through Adaptive Skills.

At Jay Nolan Community Services, we’re looking for a BCBA who’s passionate about adaptive skills development, not cookie‑cutter ABA. If you believe in empowering individuals through trauma‑informed, person‑centered, and dignity‑driven support, this is where your work truly matters.

We’re not hiring a Clinical Supervisor to run programs — we’re investing in someone who wants to build independence, strengthen real‑world skills, and elevate the quality of life for the people we serve. Here, your clinical expertise becomes a catalyst for meaningful change, not just billable hours.

Join a mission‑driven nonprofit that values ethics over profit, collaboration over hierarchy, and long‑term growth over short‑term numbers.

Why This Role Stands Out

Work-Life Balance That’s Real

Minimal weekends and low billable requirements — currently zero — so you can focus on leadership, mentorship, and meaningful clinical work.

Growth From Within

Tell us what excites you — we’ll help you build it. Your professional goals become part of your development plan.

Supportive Leadership

You’ll be backed by our Clinical Director and Adaptive Skills Team, ensuring you’re never navigating challenges alone.

We Invest in Your Learning

• CEU stipend, paid conference attendance, and ongoing mentorship.
• Streamlined, Ethical Systems
• Our 4‑tier supervision model keeps you focused on people, not paperwork.
• Nonprofit Values, Not Corporate Pressure

We’re not owned by private equity. Our decisions prioritize ethics, sustainability, and long‑term community impact.

Mentorship Opportunities

• Support RBTs and BCBA candidates as you grow your own leadership skills.
• Inclusive, Collaborative Culture
• We solve problems together and celebrate wins together.

Loan Forgiveness Eligibility

As a nonprofit employee, you may qualify for federal loan forgiveness programs.

What You’ll Do

• Provide high‑quality, trauma‑informed clinical oversight.

Operational Oversight

• Ensure compliance with all relevant regulations and HIPAA requirements.
• Partner with administrative staff on scheduling, resource allocation, and operational needs.

Professional Development

• Stay current with research and best practices through conferences and ongoing training.
• Contribute to the development and refinement of clinical policies and procedures.

Qualifications

• Master's degree in Applied Behavior Analysis or a related field
