Join our team of talented, mission-driven clinicians who are eager to bring ABA to children and schools that need it the most. Owned and operated by a BCBA-D, Verbal Behavior Associates (VBA) provides services to communities throughout San Diego, Riverside, Orange, Los Angeles, and Contra Costa counties.

We’re hiring for BCBAs throughout San Diego County, including North County (Poway, Escondido, San Marcos, Vista), as well as East San Diego (La Mesa, El Cajon, Lakeside, Santee) and South San Diego (Chula Vista, Spring Valley, National City).

You’ll make an impact by:

• Completing weekly supervision hours for clients on your caseload
• Maintaining responsibility for broad objectives, short term objectives, graphs and instructional decisions related to each client on your caseload
• Training and supervising each RBT and Clinical Supervisor working with your clients under the direction of Clinical Leadership
• Maintaining client program books, records, session notes and graphs; producing and submitting annual progress reports for each client
• Preparing and organizing client materials, attending bi-weekly company meetings, scheduling meetings, etc. as needed
• Following research guidelines and data collection procedures as determined by Clinical Leadership
• Completing trainings, reading and assignments as assigned by Clinical Leadership

What sets VBA apart:

• Work in Schools, with NO Billable Hour Requirements: We want you to spend time doing what you love - providing ABA! - and not stressing about unrealistic hourly goals or jumping through hoops for insurance companies. We clear the path for our BCBAs to provide quality services, impact more clients, and earn more while doing so.
• Minimal Travel & No Evenings/Weekends: By managing a small caseload of primarily school-based clients, you can easily and efficiently complete your supervision hours without spending hours in the car or working OT.
• Competitive Comp & Clearly Defined Growth Plans: Hourly rates at $52-$60, with tuition reimbursement for eligible employees. At VBA, our tiered BCBA growth program puts you in control of how quickly your career advances! As you progress through tier levels by mastering specific sets of goals and skills, you’ll earn increases and become eligible for leadership opportunities.
• Comprehensive Benefits: Benefits include paid sick leave and PTO, Health, Vision, and Dental Insurance, Flexible Spending Account, Life Insurance, and 401(k) with discretional match. We provide a company laptop, monthly cell phone stipend, and full access to a library of free CEUs through our membership with CASP (The Council of Autism Service Providers).
• Ongoing Training & Mentorship: Founded in 2012, VBA is led and managed by BCBAs like you who have done the job before. You’ll have an amazing team of clinical directors, senior BCBAs, and strong administrators to assist and support both you and your direct staff. Every VBA team member receives CPI training, and all of our paraprofessionals become RBTs.

You’ll need to:

• Have a valid BCBA certification and be eligible to work in the U.S.
• Provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination; take a TB Test & Live Scan background check
• Have reliable transportation, valid driver's license, and a good driving record

Our commitment to you:

We work hard to identify, train, and retain top talent because great BCBAs are hard to find! We provide extensive opportunities for mentoring and comprehensive professional development to ensure we keep the best BCBAs. With VBA, you’ll help change the future for our clients, while gaining invaluable skills and experiences that will fuel your career.
