Description

Annual compensation: $86,000–$110,000, including bonuses · Job Type: Full-time · Work Setting: In-person, clinic · Location: Southlake, TX Let’s be real: not all therapy companies are created equal. Some places give you a title and a caseload. Some add “Lead” to the title and call it a promotion. At Gracent Pediatric Therapy, you get something different: Caseloads sized so you can actually be present for your kids. An interdisciplinary team that shows up. The first words, the family meals, thriving in a classroom? Those are the result of structuring the work right. And as a Lead BCBA, you get to shape some of that structure — not just live inside it. We’re the kind of company where: Caseloads are 6–8 kids. Supervision is 16–20%. Not a target. Not aspirational. The actual structure. You’ll actually feel good wearing the swag, because it represents a place that values assent-based, neuroaffirming care and backs clinicians with real resources. Our centers practice true interdisciplinary care. BCBAs, SLPs, OTs, PTs, and mental health providers working side-by-side, often co-treating, so kids get support that reflects the whole picture of who they are. You won’t just say “I’m a BCBA.” You’ll tell people you work at one of the few companies that refuses blanket hour recommendations. Our VP of Clinical Quality and Training, Liza Bodner, led the team that built the Gracent Care Calculator, a peer-reviewed clinical tool we developed, then made free for the entire field. Not defaults. Not guesswork. You don’t have to advocate for good practice here. You just practice. What we hear from BCBAs who join us is the same whether they’re a year in or fifteen: “This feels closer to the role I originally wanted.” That’s what happens when your clinical judgment is trusted, and the people around you have your back. This is an opportunity to do the best work of your career: guiding dedicated RBTs, mentoring newer BCBAs, solving meaningful clinical challenges, and shaping how your center actually runs. Who will love this job: An RBT whisperer and BCBA mentor: You find joy in coaching — whether it’s an RBT in their first month or a brand-new BCBA finding their footing. Their growth is your win. A data detective with a dashboard mindset: Graphs climbing in a treatment plan? Love it. Power BI showing make-ups creeping up at your center? Already on it. A behavior puzzle-solver: Whether it’s a tricky tantrum, a stubborn skill, or a curveball day, you dive in with creativity and calm. A family translator and community face: You take ABA jargon and turn it into supportive guidance parents understand — and you’re comfortable walking a family through a tour or representing [Brand] at a community event. A reinforcement master: You don’t just teach reinforcement, you live it — high-fives, goofy cheers, and genuine praise are your love language. A little bit playful: You know therapy works best when it’s fun, and you’re not afraid to get on the floor, use silly voices, or celebrate tiny wins like they’re championship moments. What you’ll actually be doing: Carry a clinical caseload of about 6–8 kids: conduct assessments, write and monitor individualized treatment plans grounded in assent-based, neuroaffirming care, support parent training, and supervise your RBTs and BTs. Mentor and onboard newer BCBAs and BCBA students as they grow into the clinicians you’ll be proud to lead. Help with hiring: interview candidates, weigh in on fit, build the team you actually want to work with. Support family tours, community outreach, and marketing initiatives at your center. Use PowerBI dashboards to track make-ups, unconverted hours, and family follow-ups, and act on what the data tells you. Collaborate in real time with SLPs, OTs, PTs, and mental health providers, not just attend the occasional meeting. Keep documentation and treatment plans at high clinical standards. What you’ll work with: Standardized assessments — ABLLS-R, VB-MAPP, AFLS, PEAK, Vineland Functional Behavior Assessments (FBA) and Behavior Intervention Plans (BIP) built around the child, not templates Skill acquisition programming across communication, social, adaptive, and academic domains Parent and caregiver training as a core part of every plan Power BI dashboards for the operational side of running your center well Coordination with SLPs, OTs, PTs, and mental health providers as part of the same team What you bring: Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), licensed in the state of Texas, and in good standing. At least 2 years of BCBA experience, bonus points if some of that included mentoring, supervisory, or training responsibilities. Comfort with operational data. You don’t need to be a PowerBI expert, but you should be willing to dig into dashboards and act on what they tell you. Strong communicator who is proactive and detail-oriented. Passion for serving children and families, especially those with autism and developmental needs. Ability to perform essential functions such as sitting, standing, bending, and occasionally lifting up to 45 lbs. Reasonable accommodations may be made. What it pays. What it includes. Competitive pay is the floor, not the ceiling. Medical, dental, and vision for you and your family. 25+ days off in your first year, which includes PTO and 7 paid holidays. 401(k) with company match. $500 annual Professional Development stipend and free in-house CEUs as a BACB ACE Provider. Bonus for clinicians who consistently exceed clinical targets. $50/hour for billable hours above 30/week, paid biweekly. A supportive environment where feedback fuels growth, creativity sparks ideas, and laughter is part of the job. Pressure test us. We know things like clinical autonomy, real work-life balance, manageable caseloads, and meaningful mentorship are the things you’ll actually decide on. If anything in this post sounds too good, or doesn’t match what you’re hearing elsewhere, ask us in the interview. We’re genuinely open to talking it through.
