Why This Role Exists

The supervision bottleneck in ABA is real. 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.

About Us

We'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.

We 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.

How S.O.C.I.A.L. P.O.D.S. Work

S.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:

• Each pod has 3 to 6 clients with varied diagnoses — autism, ADHD, ADD, Down syndrome, developmental delays — grouped by age, skill level, and goal alignment.


• The facilitator-to-client ratio is 1:3 inside the pod.


• A 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.


• We 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.


• BCBAs and Program Supervisors move between pods providing real-time coaching, clinical oversight, and support for challenging behaviors.

Who We Serve

KEBM serves every client who walks through our doors — no tiers, no priority treatment, no "real clients vs. drop-ins." That means:

• Insurance-funded ABA clients (Medi-Cal, Medicare, commercial insurance)


• Private pay therapy clients


• Open play participants at our Sensory Spot locations


• Camp participants — spring break, winter break, summer, and any seasonal KEBM camp


• Consultation clients in adult residential and group home settings (Program Supervisor Master's level and above)

A 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.

The Role — What You'll Actually Do

In this role, you'll:

• Supervise 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.


• Conduct 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.


• Run 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.


• Consult 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.


• Coach 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.


• Own 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.

In your first 90 days, success looks like:

Your pods running cleanly, your team trained and supported, your documentation defensible to the CCD, and — if applicable — first consultation case in adult residential underway.

Who You Are

You might be perfect for this if:

• You hold your BCaBA or you're in active BCBA candidacy — with supervised hours accumulating. This role accelerates that path, not delays it.


• You'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.


• You 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.


• You'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.

Bonus points if you have:

• Master's degree already completed (opens consultation scope)


• Adult residential or group home consultation experience


• Bilingual (Spanish)


• Active BCBA candidacy with documented supervised hours

What You Get

Compensation

$30 – $35/hr  —  published transparently on this posting.

We don't play the "competitive compensation" game, and we don't bait candidates with the top of the band and pay the bottom. Where you land in the range depends on credential level, experience, and market — and we'll tell you exactly why during the offer conversation.

Benefits — Full-Time

Medical, 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.

Growth

At 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.

Your 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.

Ask about it in the interview — we'll show you the map.

Culture

We 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.

Physical Requirements

This 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.

• Frequent (4–8 hours): sitting, standing, walking, simple grasping, reaching (all directions), bending, twisting, kneeling, squatting


• Occasional (1–3 hours): keyboarding, fine manipulation, stairs, lifting or carrying 1–50 lbs


• Crisis readiness: the ability to respond appropriately to behaviors including elopement, aggression (hitting, kicking, spitting, throwing), and self-injury — with full training and supervisory backup

This is not desk work. But you are never handling it alone — a supervisor is always on-site and clinical support is always available.

What You'll Actually Encounter — The Honest Section

Most ABA job posts sanitize this part and then lose hires at day 30 when reality hits. We'd rather tell you now.

• Aggression — hitting, kicking, biting, scratching, throwing objects. Training and crisis protocols are in place; you'll never be expected to manage it alone.


• Elopement — clients running or leaving the session space. The clinic is designed to be safe; staffing is set to make elopement manageable.


• Self-injury — head-hitting, scratching, and similar behaviors. Protocols exist for every scenario.


• Non-compliance and task refusal — some sessions will test your creativity and persistence.


• Vocal stereotypy and scripting — understanding function is part of the clinical picture.


• Sensory-seeking and sensory-avoidant behaviors — our Sensory Spot locations are designed with this in mind.

Why we tell you this upfront:

Because 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.

The KEBM G-W-C Test

Three questions. Take 60 seconds with them before you apply. If you can answer all three with an honest "yes," send your resume today. If any one is a no, that's information too — we'd rather you filter yourself now than find out three months in.

1.  Do you GET IT?

Do you understand what this role actually is — the real work, the hard days, the kids and families we serve? Not the idealized version. The actual job.

2.  Do you WANT IT?

Not the paycheck. Not the title. The work itself. Do you want to do this specific job, with these specific clients, inside the S.O.C.I.A.L. P.O.D.S. model?

3.  Do you have the CAPACITY?

Time, skill, emotional bandwidth, physical readiness. The capacity question is not whether you're smart or capable — it's whether your current life has room for this role to be done well.
