Why This Role Exists
Traditional BCBA roles burn you out with bloated caseloads, endless paperwork, and no clinical autonomy — you become a documentation machine instead of a clinician. KEBM built the BCBA Full-Time role around the opposite premise: reasonable caseloads, clinical authority over treatment decisions, mentorship of the supervisors and BCaBAs who report to you, and real operational support so you can do clinical work. You're a clinician, not a paper-pusher. If you've already lived the burnout version of this job, this one is structured so that won't happen here.
About Us
We're a five-clinic ABA therapy company with four locations across Southern California and one in Georgia, founded in 2016 by a BCBA with 25+ years in the field. Our team of 68+ professionals delivers evidence-based therapy through our proprietary S.O.C.I.A.L. P.O.D.S. methodology — and our Sensory Spot locations prove that therapy can actually feel like play.
We serve every client who walks through our doors — insurance-funded, private pay, open play, and camp families alike. We're women-founded, minority-owned, and we don't sacrifice clinical quality for profit. If you want to work somewhere that's serious about outcomes and serious about its people, you're in the right place.
How S.O.C.I.A.L. P.O.D.S. Work
S.O.C.I.A.L. P.O.D.S. is our proprietary group ABA therapy methodology — a pod-based model where social skills, behavior intervention, and individualized goals are delivered inside a structured group dynamic. Here's how it works on the ground:
Who We Serve
KEBM serves every client who walks through our doors — no tiers, no priority treatment, no "real clients vs. drop-ins." That means:
A camp kid gets the same quality of care as an insurance client. An open play family gets the same respect as a full-time ABA family. If that feels natural to you, you're going to fit here. If the idea of treating any of those clients as less-than bothers you, this isn't the place.
The Role — What You'll Actually Do
In this role, you'll:
In your first 90 days, success looks like:
Full caseload assigned and operating, supervisory relationships established with your assigned BCaBAs and Program Supervisors, integration with the CD's clinical rhythm, and first contribution to methodology or program-level refinement delivered.

What You Get
Compensation
Full-time: $85,000 – $105,000/year (Exempt, Salaried)
Part-time: $45 – $55/hr
We don't play the "competitive compensation" game, and we don't bait candidates with the top of the band and pay the bottom. Where you land in the range depends on credential level, experience, and market — and we'll tell you exactly why during the offer conversation.
Benefits — Full-Time (Executive & Clinical Leadership)
Full medical, dental, and vision coverage • Generous PTO • Paid holidays • 401(k) with employer contribution • Executive-level CEU budget • Conference attendance budget • Professional liability coverage • Clinical autonomy within the S.O.C.I.A.L. P.O.D.S. framework • Annual professional development allocation
Benefits — Part-Time
Paid sick time (per state law) • CEU reimbursement for BCBA certification maintenance • Professional liability coverage • Ongoing S.O.C.I.A.L. P.O.D.S. methodology training • Priority access to full-time roles as they open • Flexible scheduling within the role's clinical requirements
Growth
At KEBM, your next role isn't hypothetical. We built a 15-step clinical pipeline from Social Skills Assistant through Chief Clinical Director, and every seat has a real compensation band, a real scope of responsibility, and a real path to get there.
Your direct next step from this role: BCBA Lead (3+ years post-certification leadership required) or Clinic Manager (for BCBAs interested in hybrid ops role). Both paths active for BCBAs who demonstrate leadership readiness.
Ask about it in the interview — we'll show you the map.
Culture
We run on the S.O.C.I.A.L. P.O.D.S. framework, which means structured collaboration — not chaos. Our leadership team (COO Lynda, Chief Clinical Director Maritza, Clinical Director Jazmin) actually leads, so you're not reporting into a black hole. Our CEO is a BCBA who built this from the ground up starting at $8.50/hour as a paraeducator in 1999 — she gets what your day looks like.
Physical Requirements
This role is physically active. You'll spend most of your day standing, walking, sitting on the floor, transitioning between activities, and occasionally responding to challenging behaviors.
This is not desk work. But you are never handling it alone — a supervisor is always on-site and clinical support is always available.
What You'll Actually Encounter — The Honest Section
Most ABA job posts sanitize this part and then lose hires at day 30 when reality hits. We'd rather tell you now.
Why we tell you this upfront:
Because we respect your decision-making. This work isn't for everyone — and that's okay. But for the right person, there's nothing more rewarding than helping a child build the skills that change the trajectory of their life. And you won't be doing it alone — a supervisor is always on-site, clinical support is always available, established crisis protocols are in place, and a team has your back.
The KEBM G-W-C Test
Three questions. Take 60 seconds with them before you apply. If you can answer all three with an honest "yes," send your resume today. If any one is a no, that's information too — we'd rather you filter yourself now than find out three months in.
1. Do you GET IT?
Do you understand what this role actually is — the real work, the hard days, the kids and families we serve? Not the idealized version. The actual job.
2. Do you WANT IT?
Not the paycheck. Not the title. The work itself. Do you want to do this specific job, with these specific clients, inside the S.O.C.I.A.L. P.O.D.S. model?
3. Do you have the CAPACITY?
Time, skill, emotional bandwidth, physical readiness. The capacity question is not whether you're smart or capable — it's whether your current life has room for this role to be done well.
