IDD and adult services

For candidates

What the work is like

• Long-term relationships and meaningful quality-of-life outcomes
• Ask about staffing ratios, lone working and crisis support

For employers

The hiring reality

• The highest vacancy rates in behavioral health, driven by DSP pay and shift structure
• Behavior analysts with adult and severe-behavior experience are a small, specialized pool
• State waiver funding sets the ceiling on pay, so structure and support have to do the work

Disciplines we place here

• BCBA — Board Certified Behavior Analyst

• DSP — Direct Support Professional
• Case Manager — Behavioral Health Case Manager
• LCSW — Licensed Clinical Social Worker
