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 doesnt exist or isnt empowered to actually supervise. KEBM built the Program Supervisor role to break that pattern. Youll run pods supervise clinical staff with real authority contribute to treatment planning and if youre Masters level extend your scope into adult residential and group home consultation. This role is where KEBMs supervision infrastructure actually lives.
About Us
Were 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. Were women-founded minority-owned and we dont sacrifice clinical quality for profit. If you want to work somewhere thats serious about outcomes and serious about its people youre 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. Heres 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 Masters 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 youre going to fit here. If the idea of treating any of those clients as less-than bothers you this isnt the place.
The Role What Youll Actually Do
In this role youll:
- Supervise RBTs Lead RBTs and Program Supervisor Trainees with genuine authority within your scope. Youre 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 teams ability to build plans that actually work.
- Run pods and deliver direct clinical services youre not a desk supervisor. Youre in session modeling interventions managing challenging behaviors and coaching in real time.
- Consult into adult residential and group home settings (Masters level only) extending KEBMs 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 pods data and documentation defensible clean timely. This is the difference between a pod thats producing outcomes and one thats 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 youre in active BCBA candidacy with supervised hours accumulating. This role accelerates that path not delays it.
- Youve 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 doesnt.
- You want authority within your scope not waiting for permission on every decision. If youre ready to own pod-level clinical decisions this is structured for that.
- Youre comfortable with the split pods 1:1s consultation (if Masters) coaching. Its a varied role and it rewards people who can context-shift cleanly.
Bonus points if you have:
- Masters degree already completed (opens consultation scope)
- Adult residential or group home consultation experience
- Bilingual (Spanish)
- Active BCBA candidacy with documented supervised hours

Physical Requirements
This role is physically active. Youll spend most of your day standing walking sitting on the floor transitioning between activities and occasionally responding to challenging behaviors.
- Frequent (48 hours): sitting standing walking simple grasping reaching (all directions) bending twisting kneeling squatting
- Occasional (13 hours): keyboarding fine manipulation stairs lifting or carrying 150 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 Youll Actually Encounter The Honest Section
Most ABA job posts sanitize this part and then lose hires at day 30 when reality hits. Wed rather tell you now.
- Aggression hitting kicking biting scratching throwing objects. Training and crisis protocols are in place; youll 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 isnt for everyone and thats okay. But for the right person theres nothing more rewarding than helping a child build the skills that change the trajectory of their life. And you wont 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.
