Board Certified Behaviour Analyst

Role: Board Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA)

Location: Halifax, Nova Scotia
Work Model: Hybrid- Clinic, Community, & Virtual

Employment: Employee- Full-Time or Part-Time
Schedule: We’re flexible. Whether you’re looking for a few consistent days, a day on the weekend, a four-day week, traditional full-time hours, or something in between, we’re open to building a schedule that works for you, your clients, and the clinic.​

​​

Why Allied Therapy? We believe great clinicians do their best work when they have autonomy, flexibility, strong support, and clear expectations. We are looking for a Board-Certified Behaviour Analyst who wants to do excellent clinical work. Bring your clinical judgment and we provide the clients, administrative support, technology, clinic space, multidisciplinary team, benefits, and infrastructure around you. Our goal is simple: give good clinicians the freedom and support to do good work.

 

​Compensation With More Flexibility. Our clinical compensation model is designed to give clinicians greater control over the balance between workload, earnings, schedule, and time off. Compensation is based on a percentage of eligible collected clinical revenue, with the percentage increasing based on experience and career level. Your earnings grow with your clinical caseload, while you remain an Allied Therapy employee with access to benefits, administrative support, referrals and clinical leadership. Some clinicians want a fuller caseload and greater earning potential. Others value a lighter schedule, additional time off, or more flexibility at different stages of life. We want to make room for both.

​

What Makes This Role Different

​

​Autonomy Without Isolation. We’ll support you to keep growing clinically, use the full breadth of your training, and feel confident in your practice.

​

Individualized, Neurodivergent-Affirming Behaviour Support- We don't believe behaviour support should be one-size-fits-all. You'll have the autonomy and support from your team to develop thoughtful, individualized, evidence-informed plans that consider the whole person, their communication, environment, sensory needs, relationships, goals, and quality of life. Our approach is collaborative, family-centred, neurodivergent-affirming, and trauma-informed.

​

A Workplace Where It's Safe to Be Human- We want Allied Therapy to be a place where people can ask questions, raise concerns, learn, disagree respectfully, and say when they don't know something. We embrace new perspectives and different ways of thinking.

You'll Probably Like Working Here If… You care deeply about doing good work but also want room for a life outside of work. You value flexibility and want more control over your workload, earnings, schedule, and time away. You like having clear expectations but don't want someone managing every hour of your day. You want the freedom to make clinical decisions while knowing support is available when you need it. And you want to finish your workday feeling that you did something worthwhile.
