00 This school-based BCBA opportunity spans three welcoming northwest suburban Chicago communities: Algonquin, Carpentersville, and Hampshire, Illinois. These areas are known for their family-friendly neighborhoods, growing retail and dining options, and easy access to both scenic outdoor recreation and the broader Chicagoland area. Algonquin offers a vibrant mix of suburban convenience and natural beauty. With a revitalized downtown, riverfront pathways, and a variety of shops and restaurants, it provides an appealing backdrop for professionals who value both work and lifestyle. The Fox River, nearby forest preserves, and local parks create a peaceful environment to unwind after the school day, while community events and activities foster a strong sense of connection. Carpentersville is a diverse, close-knit community that emphasizes quality of life through its park system, community programming, and family-oriented amenities. Residents benefit from numerous recreational options, including local parks, sports fields, and community centers. The village has an urban-suburban blend, with easy access to shopping, dining, and regional employers, making it a convenient location for professionals who like to stay active and engaged outside of work. Hampshire provides a quieter, small-town feel with a growing residential base and convenient access to major roadways. The village is surrounded by natural spaces that contribute to a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. This setting is ideal for professionals who enjoy a calmer pace while still being within reach of larger suburban hubs and the amenities of the greater Chicago region. In this BCBA role, you will be an integral member of a collaborative school-based team, supporting students across multiple campuses in Algonquin, Carpentersville, and Hampshire. You can expect a consistent Monday-Friday schedule with an anticipated 37.5 hours per week. The position follows a traditional school-day schedule, with the understanding that compensation is based on hours worked and does not include pay for school holidays or school closings. Your typical day will involve a balance of direct and indirect services. You will conduct functional behavioral assessments, analyze data, and develop evidence-based Behavior Intervention Plans tailored to individual student needs. You will collaborate closely with teachers, related service providers, administrators, and families to ensure that supports are practical, understood, and consistently implemented across school environments. You will provide in-class and consultative support, model behavioral strategies, and offer ongoing coaching to teachers and paraprofessionals. Responsibilities may include observing students in various settings, adjusting interventions based on data, contributing to IEP development and progress reporting, and participating in team meetings to review student growth and refine supports. You will help promote a positive, proactive behavioral culture within the schools, contributing to systems such as PBIS and other tiered supports. This position offers exposure to a diverse student population across different grade levels, allowing you to deepen your expertise in a broad range of behavioral presentations and educational needs. The multi-community structure provides a dynamic professional experience, with the opportunity to collaborate with multiple school teams, share best practices, and see the impact of your work across several campuses. You will be part of a professional, supportive environment that values data-driven decision-making, collaborative problem-solving, and continuous improvement. This is an excellent opportunity for a BCBA looking to build a robust school-based resume, expand skills in consultation and systems-level work, and make a meaningful difference in the lives of students and school staff in three thriving Illinois communities.
