Job Description

  • Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) | Waldorf, MD | Behavioral Innovations
  • Become the BCBA You Wanted to Be
  • SALARY: $95,000-$140,000 per year
  • JOB TYPE: Full-time
  • LOCATION: Waldorf, MD
  • Lead clinical quality, mentor BCBAs, and shape ABA care across Maryland.
  • $95,000-$140,000 + up to $40K retention + $10K sign-on or relocation bonus + performance bonus

We asked BCBAs what actually matters to them. Then we built it.

  • A caseload you can actually manage: 8 - 10 enrolled children typically
  • A mentor in your corner: Area Clinical Leaders in your center every week, not on a virtual call
  • Peers you can connect with: 300+ BCBAs across 6 states you can actually talk to
  • Less admin work: Dedicated center staff handle scheduling, billing, and staffing logistics
  • Case support: Structured consultation and high-level clinical access when you need it
  • CEUs without hunting: Monthly CEUs, national conference, academic partnerships
  • A path forward and upward: A defined career ladder that focuses on one thing – your growth as a clinician
  • Time Off, Work Schedule & Workload
  • Schedule: Monday through Friday

Almost 30 days off annually. Actually off. 20 days PTO plus 7 paid holidays. CEU days, conferences, company events, and training don't count toward that number. Time off means time off.

Manageable Caseloads: Caseload is typically capped at 8-10 enrolled children. Dedicated Center Administrators handle scheduling logistics, so your time stays focused on clinical work.

Referral Bonuses

Why we are center-based and why we're direct about it.

We don't offer hybrid or home-based. The clinicians who grow fastest do it through real-time coaching, daily peer collaboration, and immediate access to senior clinical leadership. That requires being in the center.

  • If schedule flexibility is your top priority, this role isn't the right fit.
  • If becoming a stronger clinician with defined career growth is, then let’s chat.
