The city’s relaxed atmosphere and extensive recreational amenities make it a place where your life outside of work can be just as rewarding as your career. 

Thinking about relocating for your next BCBA opportunity? ABS Kids offers relocation assistance for eligible BCBAs to help make your move to San Diego easier.

Why BCBAs Love San Diego


step 1:

The Beach Is Part of the Lifestyle 

San Diego’s coastline is one of the city’s defining features, with 17 miles of coastline offering opportunities for surfing, swimming, kayaking, exploring tide pools or simply relaxing by the water. Mission Bay adds even more opportunities for outdoor recreation and water activities. 

For BCBAs who love an active lifestyle, having this much access to the coast can make it easy to turn a regular day off into a mini vacation.

Year-Round Outdoor Living 

San Diego’s mild climate makes it easy to spend time outside throughout the year. The city has an extensive network of parks, open spaces, recreation centers and shoreline areas, giving residents countless ways to stay active and recharge outside of work. 

Whether your ideal weekend means hiking, biking, heading to the beach or exploring a new neighborhood, San Diego gives you plenty of options. 

Something for Everyone 

San Diego is much more than beaches. Explore Balboa Park’s museums and cultural attractions, discover local restaurants and neighborhood business districts, attend community events or cheer on a professional sports team. The city offers a wide range of arts, culture, entertainment and recreation for residents of all interests. 

That variety makes San Diego especially appealing to BCBAs who want a community where there’s always something new to experience. 

A Diverse, Innovative Community 

San Diego is a large and diverse Southern California city with a strong economy and a reputation for innovation. Its industries include life sciences, biotechnology, telecommunications, software and other technology-driven fields, contributing to a community with a forward-looking energy. 

As a BCBA, you’ll have the opportunity to bring your expertise to a community where quality ABA services can make a meaningful difference for children and families.

A Fresh Start with Support 

A move to San Diego can be an exciting next step - but you don’t have to navigate the transition alone. ABS Kids offers relocation assistance for eligible BCBAs to help make your move easier. 

If you’re ready for a career that gives you the opportunity to make an impact while enjoying everything Southern California has to offer, San Diego could be the perfect place for your next chapter. 

Your BCBA career. Your community. Your California.
