Clinical Lead

JOB SUMMARY
The Clinical Lead provides trauma-informed, relationship-based clinical support grounded in Positive Behaviour Support and Applied Behaviour Analysis. This role strengthens direct support teams by offering consultation, coaching, and capacity-building that promotes safety, dignity, skill development, and meaningful participation for children and youth in community and residential settings.

Working closely with the Clinical Director and operational leadership, the Clinical Lead bridges evidence-based behavioural practice with day-to-day program delivery. Responsibilities include conducting functional assessments, supporting behaviour support and safety planning, delivering staff training, and fostering trauma-informed, person-centred approaches that enhance stability, wellbeing, and long-term success for youth and families.

This role supports multiple regions through a hybrid model that includes virtual and in-person consultation. Regional travel is expected. Remote onboarding may be available for candidates located outside of BC.

The Clinical Lead will receive ongoing supervision and mentorship from the Clinical Director, a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA) and Certified Sexual Health Educator. For candidates pursuing BCBA certification, this role offers access to supervised fieldwork hours that meet BACB requirements. For certified BCBAs, ongoing clinical mentorship and case consultation are provided to support continued growth and specialization.
