What You’ll Do: As a Behavior Specialist, you’ll be the driving force behind individualized behavioral support. You’ll conduct assessments, design and implement behavior intervention plans (BIPs), and empower staff through training and hands-on guidance. Your work will directly improve the quality of life for the individuals we serve—helping them thrive at home, in school, and in the community.
Work locations are in our residential settings located in Orange, Dutchess and Ulster counties. Every effort is made to group assignments by location.
Why You’ll Love This Role:

• Enjoy a supportive group of peers led by a Board Certified and Licensed Behavior Analyst.
What We’re Looking For:
• A passionate professional with experience in behavioral health and developmental disabilities.
• Skilled in data analysis, crisis intervention, and positive behavioral supports.
• Comfortable training staff and collaborating with families, consultants, and care teams.
• Ready to grow—open to becoming a SCIP-R trainer and staying current with best practices.
Some flexibility in your availability is required - our Behavior Specialists work 2 later shifts (10am-6pm) each week to ensure optimal interaction with and observation of those we support.
