Trainee ABA Supervisor

Forest Bridge School (FBS) is a school for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder located 20 miles outside of London in the charming town of Maidenhead which opened in 2015. Incorporating a carefully designed in-house FBS curriculum based on the Science of Behaviour, academic and accredited curricula and Preparation for Adulthood outcomes, we are a unique setting for advanced and early learners, alike. We pride ourselves on our multi-disciplinary approach to learning with an emphasis on tailoring programs to meet the unique needs of each individual pupil.

Trainee ABA Supervisors will be responsible for overseeing approximately 8-9 pupils (1 classroom) in collaboration with classroom teachers. In addition, each class has a senior ABA tutor to assist in day to day program implementation and monitoring, and pupil support is provided on a 1:1 or 1:2 ratio by our ABA Tutors, based on student needs.

Trainee ABA Supervisors will have at least 2 years of experience in the field of ABA, including a minimum of 1 year of experience assessing and monitoring program implementation and providing staff training and coaching.  BCBAs or BCaBAs are strongly preferred, but candidates who have completed the approved coursework will be considered. We will expect our trainee ABA supervisors to meet the competencies necessary to move to ABA supervisors within two school terms.
