  • Build rapport and engage positively with participants – encourage communication, celebrate successes, and promote positive behavior.
  • Document each participant’s daily progress and behaviors; maintain accurate records and contribute to progress reports and team meetings.
  • Work collaboratively with the team (other counselors, case manager, behavior specialist) to follow behavior support plans and share insights on participant progress.
  • Ensure program policies and procedures are followed and contribute to a supportive, team-oriented workplace.

Qualifications :

  • Experience : 3–5 years of experience working in an adult day program with a behavior management focus required. (Experience must be directly with adults with developmental disabilities in a day program setting.)
  • Skills : Compassionate, patient, and energetic personality with strong teamwork and communication skills. Ability to remain calm and effective during behavioral incidents.
  • Language : Fluent English communication skills (speaking and writing) required. Bilingual proficiency is required. In addition to English, candidates must be fluent in at least one of the following languages : Mandarin, Arabic, or French .
  • References : Ability to provide professional references that can verify your experience and work ethic.
