Job Description
- Job Title: Part-Time Independent BCBA (1099) – Full Admin Support & Autonomy | Orangeburg, SC
- Location: Onsite
- Job Type: 1099 Independent Contractor
- Earning Potential: up to $125,000+ per year (Based on caseload volume)
- The Freedom to Focus on Clinical Care (We Handle the Rest)
Are you a BCBA tired of burnout, impossible caseloads, and drowning in administrative red tape? At Tellos, we believe that to provide the best clinical outcomes for children, providers need autonomy, support, and a healthy work-life balance.
We are looking for Independent Contractor (1099) BCBAs located near Orangeburg, SC who want to take control of their career.
How It Works
Think of this as "plug-and-play" independence. You act as the clinical leader, determining the best course of treatment for your clients. We act as your backend operations team.
You Focus On
- Clinical decisions and quality of care.
- Determining your own schedule.
- Deciding if a case requires in-person support or if telehealth is clinically appropriate.
- Taking on as many (or as few) clients as fits your lifestyle.
We Handle
RBT Staffing: We handle the sourcing, vetting, payroll, and retention perks; you make the final decision on who joins your team to ensure the right clinical fit.
The Paperwork: We handle credentialing, authorizations, billing, and claims submissions.
Client Acquisition: We manage the referral pipeline and intake process, connecting you directly with families seeking services so you don’t have to worry about marketing or outreach.
Key Responsibilities
Lead Clinically: Conduct robust functional behavior assessments (FBAs) and skill-based assessments to design individualized, evidence-based treatment plans that target meaningful outcomes.
Drive Treatment Fidelity: Provide competency-based supervision and mentorship to RBTs, ensuring protocols are implemented with high fidelity and clinical rigor.
Data-Based Decision Making: Utilize visual data analysis to monitor client progress, modifying instructional protocols and behavior intervention plans (BIPs) in real-time to ensure continuous growth.
Documentation & Medical Necessity: Collaborate with the Tellos admin team to ensure all clinical documentation clearly demonstrates medical necessity, meeting payer standards without compromising clinical depth.
Facilitate Caregiver Partnership: Partner with families through consistent collaboration and parent coaching to ensure skills generalize to the home environment, driving sustainable, long-term outcomes.
Ethical Practice: Uphold the highest standards of professional practice and client dignity in accordance with the BACB Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts.
Why Partner with Tellos?
Total Caseload Control: You decide your volume. Whether you want a full-time caseload or just a few clients to supplement your income, you are in the driver's seat.
Telehealth Flexibility: We support a telehealth model where clinically appropriate, giving you the ability to work from home as you see fit.
No Admin Burnout: Being independent doesn’t mean you have to handle insurance on your own. We have a dedicated team to handle the billing, denials, and authorization processes.
Recruitment Support: We manage the sourcing and first-round interviews so you don’t have to sift through resumes. We present you with vetted candidates for your final approval and provide the backend support systems you need to build a stable team that sticks with you.
