Why This Role Exists

Most ABA companies promote good RBTs to "Lead RBT" and then expect them to supervise without training, without authority, and without pay that matches. The person ends up burned out, under-empowered, and blamed when things go sideways. KEBM designed the Lead Social Pod Clinician role deliberately to refuse that pattern. This is a senior peer mentor role, not a supervisory one. You'll mentor RBTs and SPLs, coach in real time, and carry a senior caseload but supervisory authority stays with the Program Supervisor, Clinic Manager, and BCBA team. Clear scope, clear boundaries, clear next step. Your week is 75% clinical and 25% administrative, and both halves are designed with your BCaBA or BCBA pathway in mind.

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:

• Each pod has 3 to 6 clients with varied diagnoses autism, ADHD, ADD, Down syndrome, developmental delays grouped by age, skill level, and goal alignment.
• The facilitator-to-client ratio is 1:3 inside the pod.
• A supervisor is always on-site, and clinical support is always available in your pod. Your on-site supervisor is a Program Supervisor, BCaBA, or BCBA, and they move between pods providing real-time coaching, oversight, and support for challenging behaviors. You are never figuring it out alone.
• We use a push-in / pull-out model: group work happens inside the pod, and 1:1 intensive instruction pulls out when a client needs dedicated skill-building or behavior support.
• BCBAs and Program Supervisors move between pods providing real-time coaching, clinical oversight, and support for challenging behaviors.

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:

• Insurance-funded ABA clients (Medi-Cal, Medicare, commercial insurance)
• Private pay therapy clients
• Open play participants at our Sensory Spot locations
• Camp participants spring break, winter break, summer, and any seasonal KEBM camp
• Consultation clients in adult residential and group home settings (Program Supervisor Master's level and above)

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:

• Mentor and coach RBTs, SPL-BAs, and SPL-HS staff in real time during sessions, in pod transitions, on data review. You're the senior peer who makes the team better by being present, not by writing performance reviews.
• Carry a senior clinical caseload complex cases, high-fidelity intervention delivery, crisis support. 30 hours per week of direct clinical work with the clients who benefit most from senior presence.
• Support the training and onboarding of new RBTs and SPLs hands-on, in-session, with the clinical judgment that comes from 12+ months of front-line work. New staff learn from you because you can show them, not just tell them.
• Contribute to FBAs and treatment plans under Program Supervisor and BCBA direction. Your observations from the pod floor shape how plans get built and refined.
• Escalate supervisory matters immediately performance concerns, clinical decisions requiring supervisor authority, interpersonal issues on your pod. The escalation protocol is the boundary that keeps this role from turning into unpaid supervision.
• Document cleanly and defensibly your notes, data, and session summaries are used by the clinical team to evaluate progress and modify programs. Clean data is a Lead-level expectation.
• Support open play, enrichment programs, and camps your senior clinical presence elevates the quality of every non-traditional program session you're in.

In your first 90 days, success looks like:

Full senior caseload operating cleanly, first RBT or SPL successfully mentored through an identified skill gap, escalation protocol compliance at 100%, and active progress toward your BCaBA or BCBA certification documented.

Who You Are

You might be perfect for this if:

• You hold your RBT with 12+ months of experience and you've been the go-to for newer RBTs on your team informally. This role makes that formal.
• You understand the difference between mentoring and supervising and you're genuinely comfortable not being the supervisor. Lead RBTs who can't stay in their lane create problems; Lead RBTs who thrive in the senior peer role become the pipeline's strongest asset.
• You're building toward BCaBA or BCBA probably through a Master's program, and you want senior clinical experience now that will make you a better supervisor later. This role is designed for exactly that trajectory.
• You coach by showing, not by lecturing because the RBTs you're mentoring learn from watching you run a tough session, not from hearing you describe one.

Bonus points if you have:

• Bachelor's or Master's in progress
• Active BCaBA candidacy with supervised hours accumulating
• Bilingual (Spanish)
• Crisis intervention certification (CPI, Safety Care, PCM)

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.

• Frequent (48 hours): sitting, standing, walking, simple grasping, reaching (all directions), bending, twisting, kneeling, squatting
• Occasional (13 hours): keyboarding, fine manipulation, stairs, lifting or carrying 150 lbs
• Crisis readiness: the ability to respond appropriately to behaviors including elopement, aggression (hitting, kicking, spitting, throwing), and self-injury with full training and supervisory backup

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.

• Aggression hitting, kicking, biting, scratching, throwing objects. Training and crisis protocols are in place; you'll never be expected to manage it alone.
• Elopement clients running or leaving the session space. The clinic is designed to be safe; staffing is set to make elopement manageable.
• Self-injury head-hitting, scratching, and similar behaviors. Protocols exist for every scenario.
• Non-compliance and task refusal some sessions will test your creativity and persistence.
• Vocal stereotypy and scripting understanding function is part of the clinical picture.
• Sensory-seeking and sensory-avoidant behaviors our Sensory Spot locations are designed with this in mind.

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.

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.
