BCBAs are overloaded, RBTs are under-supported, and the person in the middle who should be absorbing supervisory load often doesn't exist — or isn't empowered to actually supervise. KEBM built the Program Supervisor role to break that pattern. You'll run pods, supervise clinical staff with real authority, contribute to treatment planning, and — if you're Master's level — extend your scope into adult residential and group home consultation. This role is where KEBM's supervision infrastructure actually lives.\n\nAbout Us\n\nWe'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.\n\nWe 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.\n\nHow S.O.C.I.A.L. P.O.D.S. Work\n\nS.O.C.I.A.L. P.O.D.S. is our proprietary group ABA therapy methodology — a pod-based model where social skills, behavior intervention, and individualized goals are delivered inside a structured group dynamic. Here's how it works on the ground:\n\nEach pod has 3 to 6 clients with varied diagnoses — autism, ADHD, ADD, Down syndrome, developmental delays — grouped by age, skill level, and goal alignment.\nThe facilitator-to-client ratio is 1:3 inside the pod.\nA supervisor is always on-site, and clinical support is always available in your pod. Your on-site supervisor is a Program Supervisor, BCaBA, or BCBA, and they move between pods providing real-time coaching, oversight, and support for challenging behaviors. You are never figuring it out alone.\nWe use a push-in / pull-out model: group work happens inside the pod, and 1:1 intensive instruction pulls out when a client needs dedicated skill-building or behavior support.\nBCBAs and Program Supervisors move between pods providing real-time coaching, clinical oversight, and support for challenging behaviors.\n\nWho We Serve\n\nKEBM serves every client who walks through our doors — no tiers, no priority treatment, no \"real clients vs. drop-ins.\" That means:\n\nInsurance-funded ABA clients (Medi-Cal, Medicare, commercial insurance)\nPrivate pay therapy clients\nOpen play participants at our Sensory Spot locations\nCamp participants — spring break, winter break, summer, and any seasonal KEBM camp\nConsultation clients in adult residential and group home settings (Program Supervisor Master's level and above)\n\nA 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.\n\nThe Role — What You'll Actually Do\n\nIn this role, you'll:\n\nSupervise RBTs, Lead RBTs, and Program Supervisor Trainees — with genuine authority within your scope. You're making clinical decisions, not running them up the chain for every small call.\nConduct functional behavior assessments and contribute to individualized treatment plans — your clinical work is central to the BCBA team's ability to build plans that actually work.\nRun pods and deliver direct clinical services — you're not a desk supervisor. You're in session, modeling interventions, managing challenging behaviors, and coaching in real time.\nConsult into adult residential and group home settings (Master's level only) — extending KEBM's clinical scope outside the clinic walls, billable consultation work under BCBA oversight.\nCoach the Trainees and Lead RBTs on your team — this is how the pipeline actually works. You get better by supervising; they get better by being supervised by someone present.\nOwn the quality of your pod's data and documentation — defensible, clean, timely. This is the difference between a pod that's producing outcomes and one that's performing therapy.\n\nIn your first 90 days, success looks like:\n\nYour pods running cleanly, your team trained and supported, your documentation defensible to the CCD, and — if applicable — first consultation case in adult residential underway.\n\nWho You Are\n\nYou might be perfect for this if:\n\nYou hold your BCaBA or you're in active BCBA candidacy — with supervised hours accumulating. This role accelerates that path, not delays it.\nYou've supervised staff before and you know what it actually takes — not theory. Real accountability conversations, real coaching moments, real decisions about who stays and who doesn't.\nYou want authority within your scope — not waiting for permission on every decision. If you're ready to own pod-level clinical decisions, this is structured for that.\nYou're comfortable with the split — pods, 1:1s, consultation (if Master's), coaching. It's a varied role and it rewards people who can context-shift cleanly.\n\nBonus points if you have:\n\nMaster's degree already completed (opens consultation scope)\nAdult residential or group home consultation experience\nBilingual (Spanish)\nActive BCBA candidacy with documented supervised hours\n\nWhat You Get\n\nBenefits — Full-Time\n\nMedical, dental, and vision • Paid time off • Paid holidays • 401(k) eligibility after qualifying period • CEU reimbursement for certification maintenance • Supervision hours for BCaBA/BCBA pathway at no cost • Professional liability coverage • Ongoing S.O.C.I.A.L. P.O.D.S. methodology training\n\nBenefits — Part-Time\n\nPaid sick time (per state law) • CEU reimbursement for certification maintenance • Supervision hours for BCaBA/BCBA pathway at no cost • Professional liability coverage • Ongoing S.O.C.I.A.L. P.O.D.S. methodology training • Priority access to full-time roles as they open\n\nGrowth\n\nAt KEBM, your next role isn't hypothetical. We built a 15-step clinical pipeline from Social Skills Assistant through Chief Clinical Director, and every seat has a real compensation band, a real scope of responsibility, and a real path to get there.\n\nYour direct next step from this role: BCaBA (once certified), Clinic Manager (hybrid operational role), or BCBA (upon certification). Multiple paths based on where you want to focus.\n\nAsk about it in the interview — we'll show you the map.\n\nCulture\n\nWe run on the S.O.C.I.A.L. P.O.D.S. framework, which means structured collaboration — not chaos. Our leadership team (COO Lynda, Chief Clinical Director Maritza, Clinical Director Jazmin) actually leads, so you're not reporting into a black hole. Our CEO is a BCBA who built this from the ground up starting at $8.50/hour as a paraeducator in 1999 — she gets what your day looks like.\n\nPhysical Requirements\n\nThis role is physically active. You'll spend most of your day standing, walking, sitting on the floor, transitioning between activities, and occasionally responding to challenging behaviors.\n\nFrequent (4–8 hours): sitting, standing, walking, simple grasping, reaching (all directions), bending, twisting, kneeling, squatting\nOccasional (1–3 hours): keyboarding, fine manipulation, stairs, lifting or carrying 1–50 lbs\nCrisis readiness: the ability to respond appropriately to behaviors including elopement, aggression (hitting, kicking, spitting, throwing), and self-injury — with full training and supervisory backup\n\nThis is not desk work. But you are never handling it alone — a supervisor is always on-site and clinical support is always available.\n\nWhat You'll Actually Encounter — The Honest Section\n\nMost ABA job posts sanitize this part and then lose hires at day 30 when reality hits. We'd rather tell you now.\n\nAggression — hitting, kicking, biting, scratching, throwing objects. Training and crisis protocols are in place; you'll never be expected to manage it alone.\nElopement — clients running or leaving the session space. The clinic is designed to be safe; staffing is set to make elopement manageable.\nSelf-injury — head-hitting, scratching, and similar behaviors. Protocols exist for every scenario.\nNon-compliance and task refusal — some sessions will test your creativity and persistence.\nVocal stereotypy and scripting — understanding function is part of the clinical picture.\nSensory-seeking and sensory-avoidant behaviors — our Sensory Spot locations are designed with this in mind.\n\nWhy we tell you this upfront:\n\nBecause we respect your decision-making. This work isn't for everyone — and that's okay. But for the right person, there's nothing more rewarding than helping a child build the skills that change the trajectory of their life. And you won't be doing it alone — a supervisor is always on-site, clinical support is always available, established crisis protocols are in place, and a team has your back.","company":"Key Essentials To Behavior Management","rawCompany":"key essentials to behavior management","city":"Indio","state":"CA","isRemote":false,"isActive":true,"createdAt":"2026-04-09T12:00:52.858Z","occupations":[{"code":"25-2059.00","title":"Special Education Teachers, All Other","slug":"special-education-teachers-all-other"},{"code":"39-1022.00","title":"First-Line Supervisors of Personal Service Workers","slug":"first-line-supervisors-of-personal-service-workers"},{"code":"51-1011.00","title":"First-Line Supervisors of Production and Operating Workers","slug":"first-line-supervisors-of-production-and-operating-workers"}],"industries":[{"code":"621420","title":"Outpatient Mental Health and Substance Abuse Centers","slug":"outpatient-mental-health-and-substance-abuse-centers"},{"code":"621330","title":"Offices of Mental Health Practitioners (except Physicians)","slug":"offices-of-mental-health-practitioners-except-physicians"},{"code":"624190","title":"Other Individual and Family Services","slug":"other-individual-and-family-services"}],"jobPosting":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"JobPosting","title":"ABA Program Supervisor (Mid Tier)","description":"ABA Program Supervisor\n\nClinical Supervision with Consultation Scope (Master's Level)\n\nRole\n\nProgram Supervisor — Clinical Supervision with Consultation Scope (Master's Level)\n\nCompensation\n\n$30 – $35/hr\n\nEmployment Type\n\nFull-time\n\nReports To\n\nClinical Director (Jazmin) and Chief Clinical Director (Maritza)\n\nLocation\n\nIndio\n\nService Setting\n\nClinic-based with home, community, and — at Master's level — adult residential and group home consultation\n\nCredential\n\nBCaBA certification or active BCBA candidacy · Master's degree in behavior analysis, psychology, or related field · 2+ years of ABA experience · Master's-level supervisors handle adult residential and group home consultation\n\nWhy This Role Exists\n\nThe supervision bottleneck in ABA is real.
