Job description

At North Shore Pediatric Therapy in Lincolnwood, IL, is looking for a Lead BCBA in training to join our team. In this role, you will assist the Clinical Director with unrestricted supervision activities for a caseload of clients. You must currently be enrolled in a graduate-level ABA course and working towards your BCBA certification.

Why North Shore Pediatric Therapy?

As part of a clinical team, you'll be providing a life-changing service that affects entire families today, tomorrow, and years into the future. In just a few weeks of ABA therapy, one of your kiddos might go from lacking the important vocabulary to finally being able to express what she wants and how she's feeling, or from antisocial behaviors to cheerfully greeting her family. Our success stories are numerous, requiring excellence from every team member.

Our benefits:
  • Career Path & Certification: We offer comprehensive training and support. You will work your way up from the Assistant Clinical Coordinator to a Lead Assistant Clinical Coordinator role. As part of this, you will have the opportunity to get weekly supervision, practice doing intakes, discharges, unrestricted hours, and more. You will also have access to our modules and study group (which has a 97% rate of passing the BCBA exam on the first try, and 100% total pass rate!)
  • Interdisciplinary Support: You'll thrive in our multi-disciplinary environment, working with teams in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), Neuropsychology, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Speech-Language Pathology, and Mental Health.
  • Flexible scheduling: Many of our kiddos need after school, evening and Saturday hours. You'll let us know the days and times you are available and we'll build your caseload!
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Calm app membership
  • Paid time off (for full-time employees)
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance (for full-time employees)
  • Paid holidays (for full-time employees)
Who makes a great Lead BCBA in training (Assistant Clinical Coordinator)?
  • You are enrolled or completed in graduate-level ABA courses, and actively working towards certification as a BCBA
  • You have 1 year experience of conducting ABA therapy with clients with Autism
  • Those who know you describe you as having unflappable patience and compassion. Autism affects each person in diverse ways, and you will need to provide consistent, calm care and follow-up.
  • You have an active RBT certification with the BACB
  • Completion of a minimum of 1000 restricted hours of ABA therapy overseen by a BCBA
  • You have a background in teaching, assisting, counseling, or coaching.
  • You are comfortable working in a fast pace environment
  • You have basic computer skills and pick up new technology quickly. We will teach you how to use our electronic medical system, where you will enter notes, assessments, and treatment summaries after each session.
