Agency seeks motivated **Behavioral Health Specialist** who will work with children between the ages of 5-21 and are diagnosed with serious emotional disturbances. The Behavioral Health Specialist (B.H.S.) is an integral part of the multi-disciplinary team and works closely with caregivers to assist them in the management of child behavior within a group setting and applies a working knowledge of public health practices and concepts of child behavior.

Work is evaluated for competency of professional judgment and achievement of goals and objectives.
