Discipline: Board Certified Behavior Analyst State: Maryland Roles open: 2–3 roles Timeframe: Urgent — this month Setting: ABA and autism services Employment: Permanent, full-time Pay: $105,500 – $115,000 a year Love being a BCBA but enjoy developing other clinicians even more? Some of the most rewarding moments in ABA come from helping another clinician develop their skills, build confidence and become genuinely good at what they do. We're recruiting for a Clinical Trainer in Phoenix with a growing autism services provider that's putting clinical development at the centre of its approach. This is a chance to step away from managing a traditional caseload and focus on something different. Developing RBTs, improving clinical practice and helping teams deliver consistently high-quality care. The organisation specialises in early intervention for children under six, using the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM), a naturalistic, play-based approach to supporting communication, social development and everyday skills. What makes this role different? No traditional caseload. Your primary focus is clinical training and developing others. Salary of approximately $105,500 to $115,500, depending on experience and role expectations. Dedicated clinical training position, rather than trying to fit staff development around a full caseload. ESDM-focused approach, with an emphasis on naturalistic, play-based learning. Multidisciplinary environment, working alongside BCBAs, speech therapists and occupational therapists. Potential hybrid flexibility, with one work-from-home day in established centres where available. Clear career development, with opportunities to continue progressing within clinical leadership. What you'll be doing You'll play an important role in developing the clinical team, particularly RBTs joining the organisation. Your responsibilities will include: Training new RBTs in clinical practice and ESDM implementation. Supporting clinicians through their initial training period, particularly their first five to six weeks. Observing sessions, providing feedback and improving treatment fidelity. Supervising and supporting BCBA practicum students. Coaching clinicians to develop their clinical judgement and confidence. Collaborating with the wider clinical team to maintain consistent treatment standards. Identifying development needs and providing practical, hands-on training. You'll remain closely involved in clinical work, but your success will be measured through the development and quality of the clinicians you support. What we're looking for We're particularly interested in BCBAs who genuinely enjoy teaching, mentoring and helping others become better clinicians. Ideally, you'll bring: Current BCBA certification. Eligibility to practise in Arizona. Approximately three or more years of BCBA experience. Experience supervising, mentoring or training RBTs and developing clinicians. Strong knowledge of ABA principles, treatment fidelity and ethical practice. Confidence delivering constructive feedback and coaching others. An interest in early intervention and naturalistic teaching methods. Previous experience with ESDM would be beneficial, but isn't essential. You don't need to have held a formal Clinical Trainer title before. We're interested in people who have demonstrated the ability to develop others and want to make that a bigger part of their career.

Priority states
- CaliforniaThe largest single behavioral health market in the country and the most competitive for BCBAs and pediatric therapists. Pay expectations track cost of living, which is why remote and hybrid models spread here first.
- TexasThe fastest-growing ABA market we recruit in. Center expansion across Houston, DFW and Austin has outrun local BCBA supply, and relocation packages are now routine.
- FloridaHigh-volume ABA and pediatric therapy market with strong Medicaid-funded demand. Bilingual Spanish clinicians are the scarcest hire in South Florida.
- New YorkDense, credential-heavy market. Licensure processing time is the main obstacle to out-of-state hires, so we start it before offer, not after.
- ArizonaA national hub for ABA growth and telehealth operations, helped by PSYPACT membership and a fast-growing population.
- North CarolinaRapid multi-site ABA and pediatric therapy expansion, with clinical director searches growing faster than clinician searches.
- GeorgiaAtlanta anchors a strong Southeast market for ABA, community mental health and telepsychiatry.
- IllinoisDeep clinical labor market in Chicago, with school-based and community mental health demand strongest downstate.
- PennsylvaniaStrong IDD and community mental health sector, with school-based contract work concentrated around Philadelphia.
- OhioBalanced market across ABA, community mental health and IDD, with strong nonprofit provider presence.
- New JerseyHigh-density ABA and school-based market that competes for the same clinicians as New York and Philadelphia.
- WashingtonStrong pay benchmarks and a competitive telehealth sector; in-person roles outside Seattle are the harder fills.
- ColoradoAttractive relocation market with high candidate inbound and a tight supply of experienced BCBAs.
- MassachusettsAcademic-heavy market with strong clinical standards and correspondingly high expectations on supervision quality.
