Position Summary

Most BCBA roles ask you to balance caseload size, clinical quality, and paperwork — and something usually gives. At Trumpet Behavioral Health, a member of the BlueSprig family of companies, this role is built differently. You'll lead ABA therapy for a defined group of clients, designing individualized treatment plans, running functional behavior assessments, and guiding the technicians who deliver direct services day to day. Parents and caregivers see real change because the programming actually matches their child, and because you have the time, tools, and team to support it.

Daily Responsibilities

• Guide and supervise Behavior Technicians (BTs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) in delivering excellent ABA services.
• Develop and lead personalized treatment plans built around each client's individual needs — never generic templates.
• Partner with our compassion-led clinical committees to share clinical insights and strengthen care delivery.
• Reinforce a culture grounded in ethics and outcomes rather than direct-service-hour targets.
• Carry out functional behavior assessments and modify programming based on data and professional judgment.
• Offer impactful parent coaching and family training to sustain progress between therapy sessions.
• Comply with all BACB ethical standards, state regulations, and payer-specific requirements.

Required Credentials

• Master's degree in Applied Behavior Analysis, Psychology, Education, or a comparable area of study (for BCBA holders).
• Valid BCBA or BCaBA certification with the BACB (or valid RBT certification combined with ongoing graduate coursework pointing toward BCBA certification).
• Eligible to pass a background screening covering criminal background and driving record.
• Strong familiarity with BACB ethical rules and the applicable state and payer guidelines.

Preferred Experience

• Track record of creating parent and caregiver training programs.
• Clear written and verbal communication capabilities for working with families and documenting treatment.
• History of supervising behavior technicians or RBTs in a center-style ABA environment.
• Desire to take part in applied research or share findings at professional conferences.

Benefits and Wellness

• Monthly bonus structure delivering up to $18,000 in additional annual income
• 25 days of paid time off per year
• Up to $1,000 in Professional Development Stipend funding
• Full benefits package, wellness support, and 401(k) match
• Referral incentives for helping recruit BTs, RBTs, and BCBAs
• Hybrid work arrangement — one remote day per week plus flexible start and end times built for Bay Area traffic patterns
• Anytime access to 100+ free CEUs
• Up to 26 live CEU events yearly, including our Annual Clinical Conference
• Five clinical committees and access to top professionals in the industry
• Merit-based salary increases each year

Reasons to Choose Trumpet

• Support Without Equal — Partner with compassion-led clinical committees while leveraging a deep catalog of resources, tools, and goal banks to support strong outcomes.
• Career Development — Move forward on either the clinical or operations side within our coast-to-coast network, including special access to innovative research via SprigLAB.
• Quality You Can Count On — We hold the line on care quality. We meet every BACB, state, and payer standard and emphasize impactful supervision and parent involvement over piling on direct-service hours.
• Practitioner Authority — The clinical direction is yours to set. Develop treatment plans that fit the individual client, never generic templates, using the breadth of your skills and tools.
