Board Certified Behavior Analyst

Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) – Escondido, CA

$5,000 Sign-On Bonus | Up to $100,000 Salary | Small Caseload | Flexible Schedule

Are you a passionate BCBA looking to grow your clinical skills in a supportive, collaborative environment—without the hassle of insurance billing or commuting between clients?

Join Merakey, where your expertise is valued, your schedule is respected, and your impact is profound. Provide meaningful behavioral support in a residential home in the greater San Diego area, helping individuals thrive in their communities.

Why This Role Stands Out

• No Insurance Billing – 100% funded by the Regional Center.

• Unique Population – Work with dually diagnosed individuals (ages 12–17 or 18+) with developmental disabilities and co-occurring mental health conditions (e.g., autism, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anxiety).

• Small Caseload – One residential home per BCBA, allowing for deep, meaningful clinical work.

• No Travel Required – All services are provided on-site.

• Multidisciplinary Collaboration – Work alongside clinical psychologists, nurses, administrators, and other experienced BCBAs to create comprehensive treatment plans.

• Flexible Hours – Primarily 8–5 with some PM/NOC supervision.

• Administrative Support – Scheduling and paperwork handled by our admin team.

• Ongoing Mentorship – Collaborate closely with a local Clinical Director, PhDs, and BCBA-Ds.

What You'll Do

• Provide supervision to RBTs and behavior staff.

• Conduct Functional Behavior Assessments (FBAs).

• Develop and implement individualized Behavior Support Plans.

• Collaborate within a multidisciplinary team to ensure holistic care.
