BCBA. Naturalistic, Relationship-Driven Practice (San Diego & Temecula)

This is not a traditional, clinic-only ABA role.

We’re recruiting BCBAs for a small, family-run provider in San Diego and Temecula that works with clients from early childhood through adolescents and adults. The work is naturalistic, developmentally informed, and grounded in real-world application rather than rigid protocols.

The clinical approach blends ABA with developmental and relationship-based models, including the Early Start Denver Model, and close collaboration with RDI consultants. Sessions often take place in everyday environments. Community settings, functional life skills, and meaningful family involvement are central to the work.

If you enjoy learning, adapting how you practise, and expanding your clinical toolkit, this role is designed to support that.

What makes this role different

Naturalistic, play-based and relationship-driven approach
Work across ages, from young children through to adults
Real-world application over clinic-only delivery
Collaboration with RDI consultants and multidisciplinary clinicians
Small, supportive team with hands-on leadership
Focus on quality of care over volume

Role details

Caseload capped at 10 clients
26 to 28 billable hours per week
Hybrid role with limited in-home supervision required
Tight geographic radius to reduce travel and burnout
Ability to split roles between assessments and treatment, if preferred
Must already be credentialed with insurers

Compensation and benefits

Salary up to $100,000, depending on experience
Part-time options available at higher hourly rates
Health and wellness stipend
Paid CEUs and CalABA requirements
Trauma-informed care training, CPI training, and ongoing professional development
Wellness offerings including yoga, meditation, sound baths, and Reiki
Regular leadership support through weekly and bi-weekly meetings

This role is not suited to clinicians looking for highly standardised, centre-based ABA only. It is well suited to BCBAs who are curious, flexible, and interested in practising in a more naturalistic, developmental way.

If that sounds aligned with how you want to work, apply or reach out to start a conversation.
