Location: Jonesboro and Paragould, Arkansas

Are you a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) ready to launch your career into a new dimension? Social Space ABA invites you to join our stellar team and explore a refreshing, dynamic, and family-centered clinical environment. Our mission is to create maximal change not just for children but for entire families and communities.

Why Social Space ABA?

1. Comprehensive Family Support:

• Our therapy model is out of this world, combining focused ABA treatment with licensed professional counseling for families. We empower and support families to make a universal impact in both the child’s and family’s lives.

2. Engaging Day Programs:

• Our day programs for younger children are designed to be a blast, promoting learning and social engagement. Tested and refined across five clinics over nearly a decade, our program mirrors a preschool or kindergarten environment, ensuring each day is structured, engaging, and educational.

3. Supportive Work Environment:

• Founded by a BCBA, a seasoned Licensed Professional Counselor, and a senior business operations expert, Social Space is built to allow BCBAs to focus on what they do best—providing exceptional care without the administrative black holes. Our founders are local Arkansans who understand the unique needs of our rural communities.

4. Professional Growth and Well-being:

• We believe ABA should benefit everyone, not just children diagnosed with autism. At Social Space, ABA principles permeate our entire clinical system. We invest in our team through leadership development programs, self-growth-oriented bonus pay, and quality mental health support. Our goal is to prevent burnout and ensure our BCBAs and Technicians thrive both professionally and personally.

5. A Fun and Positive Culture:

• If therapy isn’t fun, something is wrong. At Social Space, we prioritize creating an enjoyable and supportive environment for both our clients and our staff. We use ABA positive reinforcement, fostering a workplace where happiness and productivity orbit in harmony.

6. Intentional Work/Life Balance:

• Our clinics are open 8am-4pm to guarantee time for you to invest in other hobbies and values that are important to you outside of work.
• Our caseload sizes can be matched to your needs, however most of our BCBA caseloads are designed to be at 25 hours of protocol modification per week. This allows for a focus on quality and communication, rather than a focus on large caseloads for BCBAs.

What We Offer:

• Competitive Salary & Benefits

• Leadership Development Programs

• Self-Growth Bonus Pay

• Quality Mental Health Support

• A Supportive and Engaging Work Environment
