Job Overview

Trumpet Behavioral Health, a member of the BlueSprig family of companies, is a clinician-led ABA organization built on the belief that strong client outcomes come from supporting the people delivering care. We are growing the clinical team and looking for a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) ready to take ownership of a caseload. In this position you'll set the clinical direction — building treatment plans, running assessments, supervising BTs and RBTs, coaching parents, and collaborating with our clinical committees on the harder cases. The clinicians who do best at Trumpet are the ones who want their expertise to count, who want a real career path, and who want to be part of pushing the field forward through SprigLAB research and conference work.

Core Duties

• Run functional behavior assessments and update programming as data and clinical reasoning dictate.
• Coach parents and family members so therapy gains translate into the home environment.
• Create and manage tailored treatment plans built specifically for each client — never off-the-shelf templates.
• Stay aligned with every BACB ethical guideline, state rule, and payer-specific requirement.
• Train and direct Behavior Technicians (BTs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) to provide outstanding ABA services.
• Work with our compassion-centered clinical committees to share clinical know-how and raise care quality.
• Strengthen a culture focused on ethics and client results, not direct-service-hour counts.

Perks and Benefits

• 25 PTO days every year
• Monthly bonus plan paying out up to $18,000 in extra earnings annually
• Complete benefits package, wellness programs, and 401(k) matching contributions
• Up to $1,000 available via a Professional Development Stipend
• Membership in five clinical committees alongside industry leaders
• Annual pay increases tied to merit
• Bonuses for referring new BTs, RBTs, and BCBAs to the team
• Hybrid model — one work-from-home day each week plus schedule flexibility so the commute fits your life, not the other way around
• On-demand access to a library of 100+ no-cost CEUs
• Up to 26 live CEU events annually, including our Annual Clinical Conference

Essential Qualifications

• Strong understanding of BACB ethics requirements together with the relevant state and payer rules.
• Up-to-date BCBA or BCaBA certification through the BACB (or up-to-date RBT certification alongside active graduate work toward BCBA certification).
• Able to successfully complete a background check covering criminal record and driving history.
• Master's degree in Applied Behavior Analysis, Psychology, Education, or a related academic field (for BCBA-certified candidates).

Bonus Qualifications

• Enthusiasm for involvement in applied research or for presenting at industry-related conferences.
• Experience constructing parent and caregiver training initiatives.
• Strong communication skills, both in writing and in person, for family partnerships and treatment documentation.
• Past supervisory work with behavior technicians or RBTs inside a center-based ABA practice.
