Job Description:
As a Behavior Clinician (BCBA or BCaBA) at UTBS, you will play a crucial role in developing, conducting, and overseeing the delivery of behavior analytic services within your scope of practice as defined by the Utah Department of Professional Licensing (DOPL) and adhering to best practice standards. Your responsibilities as a BCBA will include:
- Conducting assessments
- Setting goals
- Formulating treatment plans
- Supervising behavior technicians
- Conducting parent and whole-family interventions

Our ideal Board Certified Behavior Analyst is someone passionate about making a difference in the lives of children and families, ready to work collaboratively with a dedicated team to provide exceptional care.
Do you have a healthy disregard for the impossible? Are you brave enough to have uncomfortable conversations & transparent enough to cut out the B.S.? Do you believe in individualized treatment that is safe & fun? Can you dynamically take a theory, individualize & adapt it to your client’s specific needs? Can you skillfully coach in an effective style of connection that, win or lose, you are here for the whole ride?
We need a dynamic family engineer who builds clients up with high-quality, intentional, & realistic treatment. Maintaining a creative curiosity to solve the hell out of anything is a must. Someone who isn’t afraid to investigate and find the “hows” and “whys.” This is more than a career calling; it’s stewardship. If you want to become a better version of yourself, and show others how to do the same, then apply yourself, and apply today.

Responsibilities include managing caseloads efficiently, adhering to contracts, and achieving goals tied to performance metrics.

However, some BCBAs hold doctoral degrees and may be referred to as BCBA-Ds (Doctorate-level Board Certified Behavior Analysts). While they do not diagnose medical conditions, they specialize in implementing behavior-analytic interventions to improve behavior, learning, and daily living skills in individuals with developmental disabilities.

Through Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), they assess each child’s strengths and challenges, create individualized treatment plans, and implement behavior analytic interventions that focus on communication, social skills, and daily living skills. BCBAs use positive reinforcement to encourage desired behaviors and reduce challenging behaviors, ensuring long-term progress and improved quality of life.
