Why This Role Exists
BCBA Lead is where senior clinical authority meets real operational leadership. You oversee a team of BCBAs, shape the clinical program, hold quality standards across your region, and have a direct seat at the clinical strategy table with Maritza and Jazmin. This isn't a "senior BCBA" retitle with the same workload — it's a distinct leadership role with distinct authority. Most ABA companies don't have this layer, which is why BCBAs top out and leave. KEBM built it because the pipeline has to extend beyond the BCBA seat.
About Us
We're a five-clinic ABA therapy company with four locations across Southern California and one in Georgia, founded in 2016 by a BCBA with 25+ years in the field. Our team of 68+ professionals delivers evidence-based therapy through our proprietary S.O.C.I.A.L. P.O.D.S. methodology — and our Sensory Spot locations prove that therapy can actually feel like play.
We serve every client who walks through our doors — insurance-funded, private pay, open play, and camp families alike. We're women-founded, minority-owned, and we don't sacrifice clinical quality for profit. If you want to work somewhere that's serious about outcomes and serious about its people, you're in the right place.
How S.O.C.I.A.L. P.O.D.S. Work
S.O.C.I.A.L. P.O.D.S. is our proprietary pod-based group ABA model. Clients are grouped 3–6 per pod at a 1:3 facilitator ratio, with a supervisor always on-site and clinical support always available in every pod. We use a push-in / pull-out model for group and 1:1 work, and BCBAs provide real-time clinical oversight across pods. As a clinical leader, you'll shape how this methodology evolves, how your team is trained to deliver it, and how we measure whether it's actually producing outcomes for clients.
Who We Serve
KEBM serves every client who walks through our doors — no tiers, no priority treatment, no "real clients vs. drop-ins." That means:
Insurance-funded ABA clients (Medi-Cal, Medicare, commercial insurance)
Private pay therapy clients
Open play participants at our Sensory Spot locations
Camp participants — spring break, winter break, summer, and any seasonal KEBM camp
Consultation clients in adult residential and group home settings (Program Supervisor Master's level and above)
A camp kid gets the same quality of care as an insurance client. An open play family gets the same respect as a full-time ABA family. If that feels natural to you, you're going to fit here. If the idea of treating any of those clients as less-than bothers you, this isn't the place.
The Role — What You'll Actually Do
In this role, you'll:
Lead a team of BCBAs across assigned caseloads — clinical oversight, quality assurance, performance evaluation, professional development planning for each BCBA reporting to you.
Hold clinical quality standards across your region — program fidelity audits, outcome measurement, treatment plan review. You're the quality backstop between BCBAs and the CCD.
Shape clinical program development — S.O.C.I.A.L. P.O.D.S. methodology refinement, intervention protocol evolution, curriculum updates. Direct partnership with the CCD on clinical strategy.
Own complex cases and escalations — the clinical cases that require senior judgment, the family situations that need a senior presence, the treatment dilemmas that go beyond a single BCBA's scope.
Mentor and develop the BCaBA and BCBA pipeline — succession planning for your region's clinical leadership. Who's ready for BCBA? Who's ready for Clinic Manager? Who's ready for ACD? That's your read.
Contribute to organizational clinical strategy — participating in executive clinical meetings, advising on expansion decisions, informing hiring strategy at the BCBA level.
