About the Role

The Behavioral Interventionist (BI) is an entry-level position designed to work one-on-one in the home and/or community with youth who struggle with behavioral management to the degree it threatens the stability of their living situation. This role is critical for supporting families with varying levels of communication, parenting, organizational, and cleanliness skill sets.

As a BI, you will provide direct supervision and assist clients through daily responsibilities, activities, and living skills.
