About This Role

You'll establish clinical protocols and standards as one of Centerbrite's founding team members, building the ABA therapy program from the ground up rather than inheriting existing structures. Day-to-day responsibilities include developing treatment frameworks, supervising clinical staff, managing client cases, and ensuring consistent quality across all services. This role offers flexibility to start part-time and transition to full-time as the caseload expands, allowing you to scale at a pace that works for you. You'll partner closely with the Clinical Director to shape how the organization delivers care. This position suits BCBAs who are comfortable with ambiguity, want to influence how a practice operates from its inception, and are motivated by building sustainable systems rather than simply maintaining status quo. Strong clinical judgment and the ability to document outcomes are essential.

Frequently asked questions

  • What license do I need to apply?

    An active state license in your discipline (PT, OT, SLP, LCSW, LPC, BCBA, etc.) in good standing. Therapy licensure is state-specific — the PT, OT, and ASLP-IC compacts let you practice in member states without a separate license.

  • Is this a school-year or year-round position?

    School-based therapy roles typically follow a 9- or 10-month school-year calendar with summers off. Outpatient, hospital, home-health, and telehealth positions are year-round with PTO. Both options are widely available — check the job description for specifics.

  • What experience is expected?

    Most therapy roles welcome new grads through mid-career clinicians. Specialty positions (acute care, NICU, pediatric feeding, hand therapy) typically prefer 2+ years plus relevant certifications.
