Board Certified Behavior Analyst
Olympic ABA | Port Townsend, Washington Serving Jefferson and Clallam Counties | Home- and Community-Based $80,000 to $100,000 Annually | Full-Time | Flexible Schedule
Some of the most meaningful work in rural healthcare happens far beyond the walls of a clinic.
Sometimes, it happens in a family's living room.
In a child's everyday environment.
Or in a community where specialized services have historically been difficult to access.
Rural Staffing Services® is proud to be partnering with Olympic ABA, a compassionate, community-centered behavioral therapy practice serving children and families throughout Washington's beautiful Olympic Peninsula.
Olympic ABA is seeking a Board Certified Behavior Analyst who believes exceptional care begins with understanding the individual, respecting their needs, and helping children and families build meaningful skills in the environments where they live and grow.
And this is a particularly special opportunity.
For families living in rural Jefferson and Clallam Counties, access to specialized behavioral services can require considerable travel or may be limited altogether.
Olympic ABA is working to change that.
Through home- and community-based services, the organization brings individualized support directly to children and families, helping create opportunities for learning, independence, connection, and growth.
For the right clinician, this is an opportunity to practice with purpose, enjoy professional autonomy, and make a lasting difference for families who need these services close to home.
The Opportunity
This is much more than providing behavioral therapy.
It is an opportunity to help expand access to compassionate, evidence-based services throughout underserved rural communities.
Olympic ABA has served children and families since 2016 and provides individualized services for children from birth through age 18 with autism spectrum disorder, including children with complex behavioral support needs.
The practice emphasizes respectful, play-based learning in natural environments and incorporates assent-based approaches that recognize the importance of each child's participation, dignity, and individual needs.
The Board Certified Behavior Analyst will provide direct services, supervise Registered Behavior Technicians, develop individualized treatment plans, and work closely with families and community partners.
The position offers considerable independence, with regular support and collaboration from an experienced clinical leader.
Responsibilities include:
- Developing, managing, and monitoring individualized evaluation and treatment plans
- Conducting Functional Behavior Assessments
- Developing Positive Behavior Intervention Plans
- Providing direct, individualized behavioral services to children and adolescents
- Designing and delivering parent training and family support programs
- Supervising, mentoring, training, and supporting Registered Behavior Technicians
- Supporting recruitment and professional development of team members
- Collaborating with families, schools, local agencies, healthcare professionals, and community resources
- Maintaining clinical documentation and meeting applicable insurance requirements
- Supporting the expansion of behavioral services into underserved communities
The role is primarily field-based, with services provided in family homes and community environments across Jefferson and Clallam Counties.
Clinical preparation and administrative work may be completed from the clinician's home base, with regular supervisory communication and team collaboration.
What You Will Bring
Olympic ABA is looking for a compassionate, self-directed clinician who combines strong clinical knowledge with a genuine respect for children and families.
Someone who understands that progress looks different for every child.
Someone who values collaboration, patience, thoughtful problem-solving, and the opportunity to help families build skills that make a meaningful difference in their daily lives.
Required:
- Master's degree in Applied Behavior Analysis, Special Education, Psychology, or a related field
- Current Board Certified Behavior Analyst certification
- Washington State Licensed Behavior Analyst credential, or eligibility to obtain licensure
- At least one year of relevant professional experience
- Strong written and verbal communication skills

- Strong organizational skills and commitment to timely documentation
- Dedication to compassionate, respectful, individualized behavioral care
Preferred:
- Experience supervising Registered Behavior Technicians
- Experience working with children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder
- Familiarity with assent-based and naturalistic behavioral approaches

Why Olympic ABA?
Because every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and receive meaningful support, regardless of where their family lives.
Olympic ABA was founded on the belief that compassionate, individualized behavioral services should be accessible to families throughout the Olympic Peninsula.
The organization is owned and led by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst with more than 30 years of experience as a clinician, teacher, educator, and trainer.
Its philosophy emphasizes respectful, play-based learning, professional collaboration, and care that considers the whole child and family.
The practice incorporates evidence-based strategies, including assent-based Applied Behavior Analysis, Practical Functional Assessment and Skill-Based Training, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy approaches.
For the right clinician, this is an opportunity to become part of a small, collaborative organization where individual contributions are valued.
There is also room to grow.
As Olympic ABA expands services into underserved communities, the right candidate may have opportunities to assume additional clinical leadership responsibilities, mentor other professionals, and help strengthen partnerships throughout the region.
Why the Olympic Peninsula?
There are places where a meaningful career and a beautiful life can exist side by side.
Washington's Olympic Peninsula is one of them.
From the historic waterfront community of Port Townsend to the coastal scenery of Port Angeles, the forests near Sequim, and the extraordinary landscapes surrounding Olympic National Park, this region offers a remarkable combination of natural beauty and rural community life.
Here, the mountains meet the sea.
Evergreen forests stretch toward quiet shorelines.
And small communities maintain a connection to the people and places around them.
For someone who enjoys outdoor recreation, hiking, kayaking, beaches, local arts, and the changing beauty of the Pacific Northwest, the Olympic Peninsula offers an exceptional place to build a life.
And this position provides a particularly meaningful way to become part of the region.
Rather than working exclusively within one clinic, you will travel throughout Jefferson and Clallam Counties, getting to know the communities and families you serve.
You will see firsthand the importance of bringing specialized care closer to home.
For a clinician who values both independence and community connection, this could be an especially rewarding opportunity.
Work Where It Matters.
At Rural Staffing Services®, we believe that rural communities deserve access to exceptional professionals and the specialized services that help families thrive.
But we also understand that meaningful opportunities are about more than compensation, qualifications, or a job title.

Relationships.
Purpose.
And the opportunity to make a difference in ways that truly matter.
Olympic ABA offers a unique opportunity for a Board Certified Behavior Analyst who wants to combine compassionate clinical care, professional independence, and a beautiful place to live with the opportunity to reach children and families across rural Washington.
Sometimes the most important work is not about asking families to travel farther for care.
