Job Description

We are currently seeking a BCBA to join our team! Our BCBAs are responsible for overseeing a caseload of clients in Gunnison, providing training and mentorship to developing RBTs, and coordinating/collaborating with parents, schools, and community members in Gunnison.

  • A passion for making a difference in the lives of children and adults alike
  • A strong work ethic and excellent communication skills
  • A lifelong passion for learning, and a desire to serve underserved communities
  • Valid driver's license, current insurance, MVR record, and background check

Our Competitive Benefits

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401K Retirement plan employer match program
  • Supplemental Insurance option (Including paid maternity leave option)

  • Strong potential for career advancement at all levels
  • Interested candidates should submit a cover letter, resume, and at least three professional references.

Key Responsibilities

The BCBA will oversee a caseload of 8-10 clients, creating individualized evidence-based treatment plans and supervising RBTs. They will also collaborate with families, schools, and interdisciplinary providers to ensure high-quality therapy delivery.
