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.
