Description
At Easterseals PORT Health, we believe in more than just behavior plans—we believe in transforming lives. As a BCBA with our EMPOWER program, you’ll have the flexibility to shape your caseload, mentor dedicated teams, and see the real impact of your work in homes, schools, and communities across Eastern NC.
Salary: $75,000–$80,000 (DOE) + Full Benefits + Professional Development Support
Schedule: Flexible M–F Hybrid | Regional Travel to EMPOWER Locations
**Voted Raleigh’s Best Nonprofit Organization and Raleigh’s Best Mental Health Services two years in a row!**
Travel Expectations
This role includes a variable regional travel requirement, estimated at 20%–50% per month depending on program needs. While telehealth services are also provided, you will primarily travel to support EMPOWER sites:
- New Bern
- Elizabeth City
- Ahoskie
- Greenville
- Morehead City
- Wilmington
All work-related travel is reimbursed via mileage pay, and, depending on cost-effectiveness, a travel vehicle may be provided. You’ll have flexibility to plan travel around program needs while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
What You’ll Do:
- Lead behavior support programs fostering family engagement & measurable growth.
- Conduct functional behavior assessments & develop Positive Behavior Support Plans.
- Train and mentor staff, DSPs, and supervisors in ABA best practices.
- Collaborate across service lines (EMPOWER, ICS, ABA) to maximize outcomes.
- Deliver in-service training & represent ESPH at professional conferences.
Why ESPH is Different:
- Professional Growth – Learn from a team of BCBAs with 35+ years of combined experience, attend NCABA & Autism Conferences (on us!), and step into leadership opportunities.
- Work-Life Balance – Hybrid role with flexible scheduling and autonomy to plan your week.
- Variety & Impact – Serve diverse communities (IDD, autism, TBI) in multiple settings—not just clinic-based.
- Culture You Can Believe In – We lead with ethics, compassion, and collaboration—not revenue targets.
Where clinical excellence meets human connection.
As a part of our mission, we help our team members embrace their potential, build resilience, and thrive! You will benefit from ongoing professional growth and development as you work alongside leaders of clinical excellence in mental health and substance use services that care about your success.
