About The Position

Benchmark has grown to become one of the most respected organizations in the country in the areas of intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and behavioral health. We work with people of all ages at home, at work, and in the community through residential programs, employment services, crisis response, early intervention, and more. If you’re looking for something outside of a typical clinic setting where you can help people with disabilities become more independent and involved in their community, then Benchmark is the place for you! Benchmark Human Services is seeking a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) to work with 1-4 adult clients in a crisis respite home in Savannah, GA. We provide thorough training, great challenges, and even greater fulfillment as you help individuals reach their maximum potential. Since 1960, Benchmark has been empowering marginalized populations to see their potential. We are committed to realizing the full potential of EVERYONE – those we serve, our partners and vendors, and our employees, who bring our mission to life each day. We actively strive to be a workplace that honors the unique experiences of our employees. Benchmark believes we are stronger, better, more effective in our pursuits when we are diverse; when we are equitable; and when we create space for everyone to be their authentic selves. The Board-Certified Behavior Analyst will work with 1-4 adults with autism or other intellectual developmental disabilities (IDD) in a temporary residential home to stabilize and teach behavior and independence skills. The BCBA will work on an interdisciplinary team managing scheduled behavior supports in the community through the state crisis program.
