Job Description

Company Description

A Different Kind of Behavior Analyst (BCBA) Role

Behavior Analyst role with no billable hours, no evenings or weekends, and a consistent Monday–Friday schedule. Hands-on clinical work supporting adults in structured day programs with a focus on real-world outcomes.

At Dungarvin, we support adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in living as independently as possible through person-centered, community-based services. Our programs focus on real-life outcomes, consistency, and long-term progress.

This Behavior Analyst role is designed for clinicians who want to stay hands-on and clinically engaged, working directly with staff and individuals in day program settings rather than operating in a clinic-only environment.

You’ll support behavior services across our adult day programs in Norwalk, Signal Hill, and Long Beach, helping teams implement effective strategies, strengthen consistency, and create meaningful progress over time.

  • What Makes This Role Different
  • No billable hour requirements
  • No evenings, weekends, or on-call responsibilities
  • Consistent Monday - Friday schedule (8:00am - 5:00pm)
  • Hands-on clinical work in real-world settings
  • Adult-focused services in structured day programs

This is a strong fit for someone who enjoys being present in the work, collaborating with teams, and seeing how their clinical decisions directly impact daily routines and quality of life.

Job Description

  • Collaborating with interdisciplinary teams, including families and external partners as needed
  • Supporting staff during complex or escalated behavioral situations
