how you’d like to make a difference at Cherished Stars.

This is not a role to inherit an established clinical system. It is an opportunity to help build one. Cherished Stars is seeking a senior BCBA leader to become one of the architects of our clinical organization, helping define how children are assessed, how care is designed, how progress is measured, how clinicians are developed, and how clinical excellence is sustained as we grow. 


Why Cherished Stars 

Cherished Stars is building more than another ABA therapy center. We are creating an inclusive practice that begins with understanding the whole child, partners closely with families, and focuses on progress that matters in everyday life. ABA is an important foundation, and our broader ambition is to build a trusted platform of services and support around children and families. 


Our Vision 

To build a trusted, inclusive practice where every child is understood, every family feels supported, and exceptional clinicians have the environment and resources to do their best work.

 

Our Mission 

To deliver individualized, evidence-based care that begins with understanding the child, includes the family's voice, and translates clinical progress into skills that make a meaningful difference in everyday life. 


Our Values 

  • Begin With Understanding: Listen, observe, and understand before deciding how best to support each child. 
  • Make Progress Meaningful: Focus on communication, confidence, relationships, independence, and accomplishments that matter in daily life. 
  • Earn Trust Through Excellence: Deliver consistent, responsive, evidence-based care with accountability and continuous improvement. 
  • Invest in the People Who Care: Support, mentor, and develop clinicians so they can thrive and do their best work. 

Role at a Glance 

  • Compensation Range: $100,000 to $120,000 
  • Performance Incentive: Performance-based annual bonus / incentive plan 
  • Clinical Hours: Less than 15 clinical hours per week 
  • Mandate: Build the clinical model, develop leaders, establish governance, and lead a high-performing organization 
  • Work Model: Primarily center-based, with periodic remote administrative flexibility 


Your Founding Clinical Mandate 

Working closely with the founders, you will define the clinical identity of Cherished Stars. Your influence reaches beyond day-to-day operations into the clinical pathways, methodologies, standards, and leadership systems that shape how care is delivered. 


Build the Clinical Model 

  • Define the clinical philosophy, care model, and standards that bring the Cherished Stars promise to life in day-to-day practice. 
  • Establish clear pathways for assessment, treatment planning, progress measurement, caregiver partnership, and transition or discharge. 
  • Ensure care remains evidence-based, individualized, family-centered, and focused on meaningful real-world outcomes. 


Develop the Clinical Team 

  • Recruit and develop high-quality BCBAs and RBTs who align with our clinical standards and culture. 
  • Build strong supervision, feedback, and competency-development frameworks that strengthen clinical performance over time. 
  • Develop future clinical leaders and create clear pathways for progression into Lead BCBA and Clinical Director roles. 


Establish Quality & Clinical Governance 

  • Build the quality assurance, case review, audit, and escalation processes that protect consistency and clinical excellence. 
  • Set clear expectations for treatment integrity, documentation, supervision quality, caregiver engagement, and measurable outcomes. 
  • Ensure clinical practice remains aligned with BACB standards, Georgia licensure requirements, payer expectations, and applicable regulations. 


Lead the Center and Scale the Model Responsibly 

  • Lead the clinical performance of the center in close partnership with operations across staffing, capacity, admissions, and family experience. 
  • Use clinical and operating data to make sound decisions on caseloads, supervision, staffing, and growth. 
  • Build systems and standards that can be replicated thoughtfully as Cherished Stars expands across future centers and services. 


What Success Looks Like in Your First 12 Months 

  • The Cherished Stars clinical model and care standards are documented and in daily use. 
  • A supervision, competency, and professional-development framework is live for every BCBA and RBT. 
  • Your founding clinical team is hired, onboarded, and developing, with at least one BCBA on a leadership track. 
  • A quality-assurance and case-review cadence is running, with clear clinical outcome and documentation standards. 
  • The center reaches its target census with strong family satisfaction and healthy, sustainable caseloads. 


Clinical Structure 

The Clinical Director will remain close enough to client care to stay clinically grounded. Clinical hours will be limited to no more than 15 per week, preserving the majority of the role for clinical leadership, team development, quality oversight, methodology, governance, and center performance. 


Reporting directly to the founders, the Clinical Director will serve as the senior clinical voice of Cherished Stars. You will lead the center's clinical team and hold accountability for clinical standards, quality, supervision, hiring, treatment integrity, and admissions appropriateness. You will partner closely with operations on staffing, scheduling, capacity, and financial planning, while maintaining clear clinical authority over decisions that affect quality of care and client outcomes. 


This begins as a founding single-center leadership role, with the opportunity to expand into broader, group-level clinical leadership as Cherished Stars grows across additional centers and services. 


What We Are Looking For 

  • Current BCBA certification in good standing and preferred active Georgia Licensed Behavior Analyst (LBA) license. 
  • Master's degree in Behavior Analysis, Psychology, Special Education, or a related field. Doctoral training is welcomed but not required. 
  • Typically, 8+ years of ABA experience, including substantial post-certification BCBA experience. 
  • Preferred leadership experience as a Clinical Director, Assistant Clinical Director, Center Manager, Senior BCBA, or comparable senior clinical role. 
  • Demonstrated experience building clinical systems, developing BCBAs and RBTs, and improving quality or clinical performance. 
  • Strong command of assessment, treatment planning, complex-case consultation, supervision, documentation, payer requirements, and clinical quality assurance. 
  • Ability to think beyond individual cases and build practical clinical standards that can scale across teams and locations. 
  • Executive-level judgment, communication, and ability to partner productively with non-clinical founders and business leaders. 


Benefits 

  • 23 days of paid leave: 15 days of paid time off (PTO) plus 8 company-paid holidays. 
  • Medical insurance options. 
  • Employee referral bonus program. 
  • Up to $3,000 annually toward approved advanced education, doctoral coursework, or leadership development aligned with the role. 

*Benefits are subject to eligibility requirements and applicable company policies. 


Who Will Thrive Here 

This opportunity is designed for a senior clinician who has developed a point of view about what excellent ABA care should look like and wants the platform to help build it. You are comfortable discussing a complex case, developing a BCBA, setting a clinical standard, challenging an operating decision, and thinking about how quality can be sustained across multiple centers. 

For the right leader, this is more than a Clinical Director role. It is an opportunity to help shape the clinical identity and future of Cherished Stars.

The remaining time is intentionally available for the work that makes care strong: assessment, treatment planning, RBT supervision and coaching, caregiver collaboration, data analysis, documentation, case consultation, and professional development.
