Job Description
- BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst)
- Location: Cordova / East Memphis, TN
- Setting: In-Clinic | Full-Time
A growing, privately owned ABA clinic is opening a brand-new location in Cordova, TN, serving children ages 18 months to 6 years old with autism in a collaborative, in-clinic setting.
This is a rare opportunity to get in early at a new center, help build a caseload, and play a key role in shaping clinical quality and team culture from the ground up.
If you’re looking for more than just a job and want visibility into the business side of ABA, along with real clinical autonomy, this is worth a conversation.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Conduct assessments (VB-MAPP, ABLLS-R, Vineland-3, etc.)
- Develop individualized, evidence-based treatment plans
- Analyze progress and adjust programming as needed
- Provide weekly parent training and updates
- Supervise RBTs and interns in-center
- Collaborate with leadership to build and maintain a high-quality program
- Coordinate care with in-house Speech and OT providers
- Manage insurance authorizations and clinical documentation
- Maintain a manageable caseload (8–12 clients)
- Target 25 billable hours per week
Schedule: Monday–Friday | 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM (with lunch break)
- 100% in-clinic
- What Sets This Role Apart
- Be part of launching a new clinic from the ground up
- Work directly with ownership and leadership
- Strong interdisciplinary model with Speech and OT onsite
- Support from a Director of Clinical Quality + ongoing CEUs
- Tight-knit, clinician-focused environment, not a corporate churn model
Qualifications
- Active BCBA certification (BACB)
- BLS/CPR certification
- Strong clinical and leadership skills
Experience with Early Intervention Preferred
- Ability to be physically active (lifting, floor work, etc.)
- Strong communication and collaboration skills
Benefits
- Sign-On Bonus
- 100% Employer-Paid Medical, Dental, and Vision
- PTO + Paid Holidays
- Bonus opportunities tied to performance
- Professional development support
- Ongoing clinical mentorship and training
Why This Role?
You’ll have the opportunity to help build something from the ground up, influence clinical standards, and work in a setting where your voice actually matters. This is ideal for a BCBA who wants growth, stability, and impact without getting lost in a large corporate structure.
