Easy ApplyBoard Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), Clinic-Based
Behavior therapist job in Vernon Hills, IL
Annual compensation: $82,000-$110,000 Job Type: Full-time Work Setting: In-person, clinic
Let's be real: not all therapy companies are created equal. Some places give you a title and a caseload. At North Shore Pediatric Therapy, you get something different: a career you're proud to talk about because you can point to the kids who are speaking their first words, eating family meals for the first time, or finally thriving in a classroom because of the work you and your team led.
We're the kind of company where:
You'll actually feel good wearing the swag, because it represents a place that values assent-based, ethical care and backs clinicians with real resources.
Unlike most providers, our centers practice true interdisciplinary care. BCBAs, SLPs, OTs, PTs, neuropsychologists, and mental health providers work side by side, often co-treating, so kids get support that reflects the whole picture of who they are.
When someone asks, “So what do you do?” you won't just say “I'm a BCBA.” You'll tell them you work at one of the few companies that refuses blanket 40-hour recommendations. While others default to preset buckets, we use a framework that considers diagnostic severity, adaptive functioning, age, access to other therapies, and quality of life. The result? Recommendations that are individualized, ethical, and built around the child and family in front of us.
Growth isn't a buzzword here - it's a path. Many of our leaders, including Clinical Directors, started as BCBAs at NSPT. We're known for giving clinicians the mentorship, training, and opportunities they need to step into leadership when they're ready.
This is an opportunity to do the best work of your career - guiding dedicated RBTs, solving meaningful clinical challenges, and impacting the lives of families every single day.
Who Will Love This Job
An RBT whisperer: You find joy in coaching, modeling, and seeing your RBTs gain confidence with every session.
A reinforcement master: You don't just teach reinforcement, you live it - high-fives, goofy cheers, and genuine praise are your love language.
A data detective: You get a thrill from seeing graphs climb, spotting trends in behavior, and using data to tell the story of progress.
A behavior puzzle-solver: Whether it's a tricky tantrum, a stubborn skill, or a curveball day, you dive in with creativity and calm.
A family translator: You can take ABA jargon and turn it into simple, supportive guidance that parents actually understand and appreciate.
A little bit playful: You know therapy works best when it's fun, and you're not afraid to get on the floor, use silly voices, or celebrate tiny wins like they're championship moments.
What You'll Do
Provide clinical oversight and supervision for RBTs.
Write and monitor individualized treatment plans that reflect ethical, assent-based care.
Coach, mentor, and train RBTs to ensure best practices.
Partner with families to set meaningful goals and celebrate progress.
Collaborate with SLPs, OTs, PTs, and mental health providers to deliver wraparound care.
Ensure documentation and treatment plans meet high clinical standards.
Build a culture of support, growth, and collaboration.
What You Bring
Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), licensed in the state of Illinois and in good standing.
Strong communicator who is proactive and detail-oriented.
Passion for serving children and families, especially those with autism and developmental needs.
Ability to perform essential functions such as sitting, standing, bending, and occasionally lifting up to 45 lbs. Reasonable accommodations may be made.
Why Join North Shore Pediatric Therapy?
Because being a BCBA here means more than running programs - it means shaping futures, including your own. You'll see your influence in:
Kids who thrive because of the care you provide.
RBTs who grow under your coaching and guidance.
Families who finally feel supported and understood.
And because we know great leaders deserve great support, here's what we offer:
Medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and your family.
25+ days off in your first year through PTO + 7 paid holidays.
401(k) with company match to plan for your future.
$500 professional development stipend + free in-house CEUs - we invest in your growth.
BCBA bonus program: Earn $50 for every billable hour 30+. Your hard work and efficiency don't go unnoticed.
A supportive environment where feedback fuels growth, creativity sparks ideas, and laughter is part of the job.
We know you're already doing incredible work where you are, but at North Shore Pediatric Therapy, we're committed to creating an environment where you can do even more - while being supported, celebrated, and inspired along the way. Whether you're ready to make a move or just want to explore your options, we'd love to show you what else is out there. Let's talk about how we can help you lead, inspire, and grow in your career.
Total compensation includes base and eligible annual bonus.
