Board Certified Behavior Analyst (Richmond)

Clinical Director (BCBA) – Richmond

This is an established ABA service with two clinics in the Richmond market, one in Richmond and one in Colonial Heights.

The clinical team is already in place, including BCBAs, BCaBAs, and interns working toward certification. This role isn’t about building from zero. It’s about leading, developing, and refining what’s already there.

What the role involves

You’ll oversee the clinical programme across both sites, with responsibility for:

• Supporting and developing supervisors (BCBAs, BCaBAs, interns)
• Reviewing assessments and clinical work
• Maintaining standards across the team
• Being present day to day to support, guide, and problem-solve

There is a small caseload initially , mainly to stay close to the work and establish your presence. As the team continues to grow and stabilise, that caseload reduces.

This is a hands-on, on-site leadership role , not a remote position.

The setup

• Two established clinics with a stable client base
• Existing clinical team already in place
• Formal pathway for interns progressing into BCaBA/BCBA roles
• Support from ownership, HR, and recruitment functions

The current director has been in place for several years and helped build the service. They are moving into a more specialised role, so this is a handover into a functioning, established environment.

Clinical approach

The focus is on:

• Functional skills
• Naturalistic teaching
• Individualised programming

There isn’t a single rigid model. Clinicians are expected to adapt their approach based on the individual.

What’s different

• Privately owned, not PE-backed
• Profitable, stable market already in place
• Not a turnaround or start-up environment
• Leadership role focused on people and clinical quality, not just operations

What they’re looking for

• BCBA with ideally 5+ years post-certification (strong 4+ years considered)
• Previous leadership experience (Clinical Director, Assistant Clinical Director, or similar)
• Experience managing and developing clinical teams
• Comfortable being on-site and visible within the team
• Strong clinical judgement and ability to handle day-to-day challenges

This role is suited to someone who has already stepped into leadership and wants broader responsibility, rather than someone moving directly from a purely supervisory position.

If you’re looking for a Clinical Director role where you can focus on leading a team and maintaining clinical standards, rather than fixing a broken setup, this is worth a conversation.
