The Freedom to Focus on Clinical Care (We Handle the Rest)

Are you a BCBA tired of burnout, impossible caseloads, and drowning in administrative red tape? At Tellos, we believe that to provide the best clinical outcomes for children, providers need autonomy, support, and a healthy work-life balance.

We are looking for Independent Contractor (1099) BCBAs located near Beaufort, SC who want to take control of their career.

How It Works

Think of this as "plug-and-play" independence. You act as the clinical leader, determining the best course of treatment for your clients. We act as your backend operations team.

You Focus On:

• Clinical decisions and quality of care.

• Determining your own schedule.

• Deciding if a case requires in-person support or if telehealth is clinically appropriate.

• Taking on as many (or as few) clients as fits your lifestyle.

We Handle:

• RBT Staffing: We handle the sourcing, vetting, payroll, and retention perks; you make the final decision on who joins your team to ensure the right clinical fit.

• The Paperwork: We handle credentialing, authorizations, billing, and claims submissions.

• Client Acquisition: We manage the referral pipeline and intake process, connecting you directly with families seeking services so you don’t have to worry about marketing or outreach.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead Clinically: Conduct robust functional behavior assessments (FBAs) and skill-based assessments to design individualized, evidence-based treatment plans that target meaningful outcomes.

• Drive Treatment Fidelity: Provide competency-based supervision and mentorship to RBTs, ensuring protocols are implemented with high fidelity and clinical rigor.

• Data-Based Decision Making: Utilize visual data analysis to monitor client progress, modifying instructional protocols and behavior intervention plans (BIPs) in real-time to ensure continuous growth.

• Documentation & Medical Necessity: Collaborate with the Tellos admin team to ensure all clinical documentation clearly demonstrates medical necessity, meeting payer standards without compromising clinical depth.

• Facilitate Caregiver Partnership: Partner with families through consistent collaboration and parent coaching to ensure skills generalize to the home environment, driving sustainable, long-term outcomes.

• Ethical Practice: Uphold the highest standards of professional practice and client dignity in accordance with the BACB Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts.

Why Partner with Tellos?

• Total Caseload Control: You decide your volume. Whether you want a full-time caseload or just a few clients to supplement your income, you are in the driver's seat.

• Telehealth Flexibility: We support a telehealth model where clinically appropriate, giving you the ability to work from home as you see fit (up to 25% per insurance approval)

• No Admin Burnout: Being independent doesn’t mean you have to handle insurance on your own. We have a dedicated team to handle the billing, denials, and authorization processes.

• Recruitment Support: We manage the sourcing and first-round interviews so you don’t have to sift through resumes. We present you with vetted candidates for your final approval and provide the backend support systems you need to build a stable team that sticks with you.

Qualifications

• Active Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) certification.

• Residence in South Carolina required

• Master’s Degree in Applied Behavior Analysis, Psychology, or related field.

• Strong desire for autonomy and the discipline to manage an independent schedule.

• Comfortable using technology for telehealth supervision and digital data collection.
