BCBA Clinical Director

You already know what a Clinical Director does. Whats harder to learn from a posting is how much youll actually own whos behind you when a day goes sideways and whether the company is doing work worth leading. So thats where well start.

What youll own.
This is your center. You set the clinical standard develop the team and own the quality of care that goes out the door with the authority to shape how your center actually runs not just enforce someone elses playbook. We hire leaders then trust them to lead.

The support behind you.
Leading a center is hard; doing it without backup is harder. Here youre not alone: scheduling billing authorizations and RBT recruiting sit with dedicated teams so your time goes to clinical leadership and your people. Our VP of Clinical Quality and Training Liza Bodner along with our Regional Director Ryan Emry and Area Director Sandy Reeson are a phone call away when a case or a decision is genuinely hard.

The work is worth leading.
Liza led the team that built the Gracent Care Calculator: a peer-reviewed clinical tool that recommends treatment intensity based on the child not a default. We presented it at CASP 2026 in Las Vegas then made it free to the entire field ( Were a BACB ACE Provider running free in-house CEUs. As a Clinical Director you dont just apply that standard you help carry it and your clinicians grow because of how you lead.

You lead the clinical bar; you dont fight for it.
Because our model individualizes treatment intensity (via the Care Calculator) and protects supervision time as real structure you spend your energy developing clinicians and raising quality not defending good practice to a spreadsheet.

Progress you can prove.
We measure outcomes and make them visible. Our STEP Score family Report Cards and OBM dashboards give you a clear shared read on whether care is working across your center. So you lead with data coach with specifics and show families real movement.

One child one plan many minds.
Your center runs genuinely interdisciplinary care. BCBAs SLPs and OTs work the same cases often co-treating and you orchestrate that collaboration instead of refereeing parallel services.

A real bridge to the classroom.
Our half-day Prep School supports children working toward a traditional classroom who still need 1:1 support. This is another lever you lead with and a model most providers dont have.

Real support real autonomy.
Operational load (scheduling billing authorizations RBT recruiting) sits with the teams whose job it is. You get the autonomy to run your center and the backup to do it well.
