Job Description
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 in Woodstock, Georgia 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.
Qualifications
- Active Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) certification.
- Master’s Degree in Applied Behavior Analysis, Psychology, or related field.
- Strong desire for autonomy and the discipline to manage an independent schedule.
- A belief in partnership with your care team
- Comfortable using technology for telehealth supervision and digital data collection.
Ready to Define Your Own Practice?
- Step 1: Chat with us about your clinical philosophy and income goals.
- Step 2: We handle the credentialing and setup to get you ready.
- Step 3: We match you with clients and RBTs based on your preferences.
- Step 4: You start working on your own terms.
- Apply today to reclaim your time and your passion for ABA.
We believe in hiring people, not resumes. If you’re excited by Tellos’s mission but unsure if you meet every requirement, we still encourage you to apply, we’d love to learn what you’d bring to the team.
