BCBA jobs in Lakewood, CO
Lead a Lakewood caseload you can serve well — with the paperwork carried for you and clinical leadership that still sees clients.
What a BCBA does at Sunbird Lakewood
Lead a caseload you can actually serve well: design and supervise individual treatment plans, coach parents, and watch kids grow — with the admin and authorization paperwork carried by our intake team so you stay in the clinical work.
Your clients are in Lakewood homes and daycares, which means your plans get tested in real life: mornings, mealtimes, group play, transitions.
- Design and supervise individual treatment plans
- Admin and authorization paperwork carried by the intake team
- Caseloads sized so every child gets your best work
- Clinical leadership that still sees clients
Almost a BCBA? Our paid student-analyst track
If you're deep into supervised fieldwork, the student-analyst role lets you earn the rest of your hours doing the real job — paid, on real cases, with structured BCBA supervision. It's a fit if you have 680+ unrestricted and 280+ restricted fieldwork hours and are within about 6 months of exam eligibility. Details on our careers page.
What a week can look like for a BCBA in Lakewood
Your week centers on clinical work: assessments and plan updates for children on your caseload, supervision time with the RBTs running their sessions, and parent coaching — in person at Lakewood homes or by video. Authorizations and admin go to our intake team, not your evenings.
Because sessions happen across Lakewood, caseloads are organized by part of town where possible, so supervision visits don't eat your day.
Why clinicians choose Sunbird
Well-supported clinicians give the best care. That's not a slogan — it's the whole staffing strategy.
- Family-run, for real. The founder's name is on the door and her standard is simple: care good enough for her own kids, and a team treated the way we ask them to treat families.
- Caseloads you can serve well. We'd rather grow slowly than stretch a clinician thin. Your caseload is sized so every child on it actually gets your best work.
- Mentorship that shows up. Real supervision hours, clinical leadership that still sees clients, and questions answered by people who remember being new at this.
- Work that travels with the child. Home, daycare, telehealth — and centers coming soon. You'll see your work hold up in real life, not just in a session room.
