Clinical Director

Full Time Lima, OH, US

19 days ago Requisition ID: 1094

Salary Range: $83,000.00 To $88,000.00 Annually

MonArk ABA Therapy is a BCBA and woman-owned ABA company committed to providing ethical, collaborative, and high-quality ABA services to children and families. We are a growing company focused on expanding access to care across Northwest Ohio, including rural and underserved communities where services may be limited.

At MonArk, we prioritize culture, ethics, clinical quality, teamwork, and meaningful client outcomes. Our owner serves as the OHABA Public Policy Co-Chair, advocating for ethical ABA services and improved access to care for children and families in rural communities.

The Clinical Director role is ideal for an experienced BCBA who is ready to lead across multiple clinic locations while remaining actively involved in clinical care, staff development, quality assurance, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Position Summary

The Clinical Director provides clinical leadership and oversight for two MonArk ABA clinic locations. This position supports BCBAs, Program Managers, RBTs, trainees, and therapy team collaboration while ensuring services are ethical, high-quality, payer-compliant, and aligned with MonArk’s clinical standards.

The Clinical Director is responsible for maintaining a minimum of 20 billable hours per week while also assisting with Program Manager support, clinical quality assurance, staff development, supervision systems, and clinical problem-solving across assigned locations.

The billable hour expectation is not tied to carrying a direct ongoing caseload independently. Instead, billable hours may be met through clinically appropriate and payer-authorized activities such as supervision, assessment support, treatment plan updates, caregiver training, protocol modification, clinical consultation, and other BCBA-level services based on organizational and client needs.

This position requires a minimum of 3 years of BCBA experience, including demonstrated experience providing quality supervision to supervision students who are accruing supervised fieldwork or working toward certification.
