What are the responsibilities and job description for the Emergency Room Diversion BCBA position at Justice Resource Institute?
Who We Are Looking For:
Be the change! We are seeking dedicated team members to join a creative, flexible, and intensive community- based team striving to eliminate emergency room boarding for kids and instead to do what it takes to keep them safe at home with their families. In this position, you will be able to convey your passion for helping others with a dynamic team by bringing an energetic and positive approach while working with youth and families in their homes and communities.
Through early intervention and intensive community-based support, our team at JRI aims to divert psychiatric admissions via assessment, safety planning, coaching, psychoeducation, skill building, connections to informal and formal supports and 24-hr on call support. Our Emergency Department Diversion team is inclusive of Mental Health Clinicians, Board Certified Behavior Analysts, Family Partners, and Therapeutic Support Specialists. Referrals for this service are exclusively through the Emergency Department and/or with the local Emergency Service Provider (ESP).
What You'll Do:
We are seeking a full-time BCBA to provide comprehensive support for a variety of skills including communication, social, schooling and daily living. Primarily this is achieved through programming tailored to individual client needs. This should be conducted with the initial Functional Behavioral Assessment, then developing treatment plans and behavior support plans. The BCBA will provide training, support and guidance to program staff and families to best support the individual and follow through with plans. You will work on a comprehensive team including a Clinician, Family Partner, and Support Staff. This is a salaried position and does not have a unit-based productivity requirement.
