Positive Behavior Supports Clinician

PBS Qualified Clinician Opportunity

If you're looking for meaningful work, real flexibility, and a culture that truly lives its values — this is an opportunity you don't want to miss.

As a PBS Qualified Clinician, you'll play a key role in supporting adults with developmental disabilities and brain injuries through person-centered, evidence-based clinical practice. You'll work alongside strong interdisciplinary teams, have autonomy in managing your schedule, and make a visible, day-to-day impact across a variety of community settings.

This position supports the following towns: Hudson, Holden, Framingham, Natick, North Attleboro, and Leominster

Why This Role Stands Out

• Built In Variety: Work across day programs, residential group homes, shared living homes, and other community-based environments — no two days are the same.
• Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Partner closely with medical, behavioral health, residential, day, and shared living teams.
• Flexibility & Autonomy: Manage your own schedule while doing high-impact clinical work.
• Values You Can Feel: Join an agency with a genuine commitment to person-centered supports.
• Growth Without Limits: Access ongoing training, mentorship, and meaningful opportunities for professional development.
