Board Certified Behavior Analyst - BCBA

BCBA-Board Certified Behavior Analyst

Take control of your ABA career and start the new year off right with your own ABA company, with support and guidance from BCBAs who have been there before!

The ABA field is dominated by big-box practices with top-down rules that prioritize billable hours over clinical quality. We hear it every day from BCBAs who once loved their work but now feel drained by policies made by non-clinicians and cultures that don’t put families first.

That’s why we built Headstart Health. We knew ABA had to be done differently — with BCBAs in the driver’s seat.

At Headstart, we partner with BCBAs to start and grow their own in-home ABA practices in North Carolina. You bring the clinical expertise, and we provide the business infrastructure and support so you can focus on what matters: delivering ethical, high-quality care.

Responsibilities

• Deliver ABA therapy services in alignment with best practices and client treatment plans.
• Establish and manage your own caseload and schedule.
• Supervise RBTs and collaborate with families.
• Grow your own ethical ABA company with the full support of Headstart Health

Qualifications

• Active BCBA certification and state licensure in North Carolina
• Minimum of 2 years of experience as a BCBA.
• Commitment to ethical, family-centered ABA practice.
• Must reside in North Carolina

What Headstart Provides

• Practice Setup Made Simple – We take the complexity out of launching your practice. From forming your LLC to setting up a bank account and credentialing with payors, we handle the red tape so you can start serving families faster.
• All-in-One Operations Support – Say goodbye to endless admin. We provide the software and back-office systems you need — EMR, scheduling, billing, payroll, HR — plus a dedicated team to manage authorizations, claims, and compliance. You stay focused on clients while we run the engine.
• Clinical Growth & Community – You won’t be on an island. Our experienced BCBAs provide 1:1 consultation, peer roundtables, and ongoing CEU events. You’ll join a collaborative network of independent practice owners all striving for clinical excellence.
• Help Building Your Team – We support your growth with tools and resources to recruit clients and RBTs, so you can scale your practice without the stress of doing it alone.
• Financial Backing to Launch – Starting a practice can be expensive — but not with Headstart. We cover most of the start-up costs so you can begin earning right away, without the financial burden of going solo.
