FronteraCare delivers life-changing autism services to children and families across New Mexico and Colorado. We provide high quality diagnostic evaluations and ABA therapy, partnering closely with parents, grandparents, foster parents, and other caregivers to create individualized care plans rooted in each child's unique strengths, needs, and family context.
Our clinicians are committed to evidence-based, compassionate care that helps children with autism thrive. We believe the best outcomes are when families are at the heart of the treatment. By combining clinical expertise with family insights, we help children build skills, gain confidence, and thrive.
Our Mission
Our mission is to expand access to exceptional diagnostic and behavioral healthcare for every child, no matter where they live or their circumstances.
About the Role
FronteraCare is expanding into Southern California through the acquisition of an established ABA practice in San Diego. We’re looking for an exceptional BCBA leader to take the clinical reins from the practice’s founder and help build the next chapter of the organization.
This is not a traditional Clinical Director role. You’ll inherit an existing team, client base, and community presence, with responsibility for maintaining the trust and clinical quality that have made the practice successful. At the same time, you’ll have the opportunity to build: growing the team, strengthening how we operate, expanding our presence in Southern California, and helping define what technology-enabled ABA care can look like at scale.
We’re looking for someone who can balance both sides of that mandate: a deeply credible clinician and people leader who can earn the trust of an established team, while also being energized by change, growth, technology, and the opportunity to build something better.
You’ll serve as the senior clinical leader for the San Diego market and partner closely with FronteraCare’s clinical, operational, People, Growth, and technology teams.
