Clinic Director – Winston-Salem (BrightBridge ABA)
Be the one who builds it. Be the one who leads it.
BrightBridge ABA is opening a brand-new clinic in Winston-Salem and we’re looking for a Clinic Director who’s excited by the rare opportunity to build something from the ground up. If you’re the kind of leader who loves creating systems, shaping culture, developing people, and adding your own touch to a space (yes, décor included!), this role is for you.
This is a chance to “run the show” with full support behind you: a strong back-office team, dedicated admin support, and ongoing mentorship from our Clinical Manager and Director of Clinical Services. You lead locally, and we support you!
What You’ll Do
Clinic Leadership & Culture
Launch and lead our brand-new Winston-Salem clinic with ownership, pride, and creativity
Build a warm, trauma-informed, assent-based environment for staff and families
Shape the clinic vibe - from décor to workflow - to create a supportive, welcoming space
Foster a culture of teamwork, communication, and clinical excellence
Staff Management
Hire, onboard, and train RBTs and BCBAs
Provide ongoing coaching, professional development, and performance feedback
Create staffing models and schedules that maximize quality of care
Model leadership aligned with BrightBridge values: integrity, compassion, stability, and growth
Clinical Oversight
Carry a small caseload, maintaining high-quality clinical care consistent with BrightBridge standards
Conduct assessments, develop treatment plans, and provide caregiver training
Ensure high-quality service delivery in accordance with best practices in trauma-informed, assent-based ABA
Operations
Oversee day-to-day operations of the clinic, ensuring smooth and efficient flow
Partner with back-office functions including HR, Scheduling, Credentialing, Billing, and Intake
Maintain compliance with state regulations, payer requirements, and company policies
Collaborate with leadership to meet clinic goals, metrics, and quality benchmarks
What Makes This Role Unique
You’re building a clinic from scratch - culture, systems, and your own leadership identity
You get to shape the space - layout, décor, energy, flow
You’re not doing it alone - we have a powerhouse admin team and strong clinical leadership to support you
You will genuinely know every family and staff member - this is a rare opportunity to start small, grow intentionally, and create something special
What We’re Looking For
Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) required
Leadership experience preferred (but strong clinicians ready to step into leadership are encouraged to apply!)
Passion for building, leading, and supporting teams
Strong communication skills and an ability to collaborate
A flexible, creative problem-solver with a startup mindset
Commitment to trauma-informed, assent-based, family-centered care
