Step into a pivotal role where your Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) expertise will truly make a difference for students and staff alike. This contract opportunity focuses on supporting students in grades 6–12 who require robust behavioral and crisis interventions, exceeding the resources typically available in local schools yet not matching clinical thresholds. Partnering with a regional educational cooperative, you'll join a committed team in a retail-style facility near La Vista, NE, for the remainder of the school year—with strong potential for renewal or transition to a permanent position.
You’ll provide hands-on guidance for a diverse group of older, physically larger students exhibiting complex behavioral challenges, including elopement, daily crisis management, and self-injurious actions. With a network of paraprofessionals, Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs), and aides—some offering 2:1 support—your leadership and expertise will reinforce a collaborative, continuously adapting environment.
Desired Qualifications:
- Active Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) certification
- Experience with older students exhibiting intense behavioral concerns
- Proven success in developing and implementing individualized behavior intervention and crisis management plans
- Demonstrated skill in training, coaching, and supporting RBTs, paraprofessionals, and teaching staff
- Capacity to analyze and address functions of behavior in high-needs populations
- Commitment to supporting students in inclusive, non-isolated settings
Primary Responsibilities:
- Lead functional behavior assessments and behavior intervention plan (BIP) development
- Coach and supervise RBTs and paraprofessional staff, emphasizing crisis and elopement protocols
- Collaborate closely with educators and administration to ensure comprehensive care and safety
- Deliver ongoing professional development and guidance for teachers and support staff
- Monitor, analyze, and adjust interventions to meet evolving student needs
Ready to influence lives, foster growth, and help transform school support for students most in need? Apply now to bring your skills and leadership to this dynamic, impactful setting for the remainder of the school year and beyond!
