Salary: $78,000 - $82,000 Lead With Heart. Grow With Purpose. Shape Lives Through Adaptive Skills. At Jay Nolan Community Services, we're looking for a BCBA who's passionate about adaptive skills development, not cookie-cutter ABA. If you believe in empowering individuals through trauma-informed, person-centered, and dignity-driven support, this is where your work truly matters. We're not hiring a Clinical Supervisor to run programs — we're investing in someone who wants to build independence, strengthen real-world skills, and elevate the quality of life for the people we serve.

Streamlined, Ethical Systems: Our 4-tier supervision model keeps you focused on people, not paperwork.
Nonprofit Values, Not Corporate Pressure: We're not owned by private equity. Our decisions prioritize ethics, sustainability, and long-term community impact.
Mentorship Opportunities: Support RBTs and BCBA candidates as you grow your own leadership skills.
Inclusive, Collaborative Culture: We solve problems together and celebrate wins together.
Loan Forgiveness Eligibility: As a nonprofit employee, you may qualify for federal loan forgiveness programs.
