Clinical Director / Board Certified Behavior Analyst

Job Description

Clinical Director / Board Certified Behavior Analyst

Fort Worth, TX | Hybrid Leadership Opportunity

We Don't Just Need Another BCBA. We Need a Leader.

A growing, privately owned ABA organization in the Fort Worth area is seeking an experienced BCBA for a Clinical Director / BCBA leadership position.

This role is part clinical leader, part coach, part project manager, and part problem solver.

We're looking for someone who can keep a clinical team moving, maintain exceptionally high standards of care, hold people accountable, and personally step in when the team needs help.

If you prefer waiting for someone to tell you what needs to be done, this probably isn't the position for you.

If you naturally take ownership, solve problems, communicate directly, and make the people around you better, we'd like to talk.

Lead & Manage the BCBA Team

You'll help oversee the day-to-day clinical workload of the organization's BCBAs and ensure important clinical deliverables don't fall through the cracks.

Responsibilities include:

• Reviewing BCBA client workloads
• Establishing and monitoring clinical deadlines
• Ensuring treatment plans and updates are completed accurately and on time
• Monitoring development of clinical materials and programming
• Helping BCBAs prioritize responsibilities
• Maintaining accountability across in-person and remote work
• Supporting clinicians when challenges arise
• Creating a culture of communication, ownership, and follow-through

Handle Clinical Overflow

Growth doesn't always happen according to a convenient schedule.

The Clinical Director will help bridge those gaps by:

• Assisting with new clients while additional BCBAs are being hired
• Temporarily absorbing cases when necessary
• Providing clinical coverage during staffing transitions
• Helping build new caseloads
• Ensuring families continue receiving high-quality care during periods of growth or change

Own Quality Control

This organization takes the quality of its clinical services seriously.

The Clinical Director will remain connected to what is actually happening with clients rather than managing exclusively from behind a desk.

The goal will be to visit at least one client per BCBA each week when practical to:

• Maintain familiarity with clients and families
• Evaluate treatment quality
• Observe clinical implementation
• Identify potential problems early
• Ensure parents receive excellent communication and support
• Maintain consistently high clinical standards

The Person We're Looking For

Credentials matter, but they aren't enough for this position.

We're looking for someone with exceptional:

• Leadership
• Communication
• Accountability
• Clinical judgment
• Organization
• Initiative
• Reliability
• Emotional intelligence
• Ability to build trust with employees and families

You should be comfortable having difficult conversations when necessary while still being someone your team respects and wants to work with.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who takes ownership rather than saying, "That's not my job."

Qualifications

• Current BCBA certification
• Texas LBA or eligibility for Texas licensure
• Strong ABA clinical background
• Leadership, supervisory, or clinical management experience strongly preferred
• Excellent organizational and project-management skills
• Ability to manage competing clinical priorities
• Strong interpersonal and family-communication skills
• Ability to work independently and collaborate directly with executive leadership

The Opportunity

This is an opportunity for the right BCBA to have a meaningful voice in how a growing clinical operation develops rather than simply becoming another employee inside a large corporate structure.

The organization is willing to wait for the right person.

If you're a strong clinician who also has the personality, leadership presence, accountability, and drive to build a great clinical team, we'd like to hear from you.

All inquiries will be handled confidentially.
