Full Job Description

Position Overview

The Arc of the South Shore has been awarded a contract from the Department of Developmental Services (DDS) for a new Home-Based Residential Supports (HBRS) Pilot. The Arc is supporting five individuals who live with their families as an alternative to placement in a 24/7 group home. All individuals have significant medical and/or behavioral support needs. The HBRS program is contract-funded and contingent upon continued support from DDS.

Reporting to the Family Care Coordination Manager, the Recreational Therapist provides individualized therapeutic recreation services to a young adult participating in the HBRS Pilot. Working collaboratively with the family, Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), and interdisciplinary team members, the Recreational Therapist develops and implements individualized recreation and leisure plans that promote engagement, self-expression, skill development, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life.

Using person-centered, trauma-informed, and strengths-based practices, the Recreational Therapist assesses the individual's interests, abilities, and support needs to create meaningful experiences within the home environment. The role supports skill maintenance, choice-making, social connection, and participation in enriching activities while providing coaching and consultation to family caregivers and support staff.

The ideal candidate is a creative, energetic, and compassionate professional who enjoys thinking outside the box to develop engaging experiences for individuals with significant support needs. They bring a positive, strengths-based approach and are passionate about helping others discover joy, purpose, and personal fulfillment through individualized recreation and leisure opportunities.

Collaborate with BCBAs and clinical team members to ensure recreational activities align with behavioral goals and skill acquisition objectives.
Integrate positive behavioral supports and trauma-informed approaches into recreation and community participation activities to promote engagement and success.
Monitor and communicate behavioral and social outcomes related to recreational participation, and assist in identifying environmental modifications and support strategies that enhance inclusion and participation.

Strong communication, relationship-building, and problem-solving skills.
Ability to bring enthusiasm, positivity, and a strengths-based approach to supporting individuals and families. Skilled at identifying innovative ways to promote enjoyment, engagement, self-expression, and quality of life within the home environment.
Demonstrated ability to effectively engage and support individuals from diverse backgrounds, including across protected characteristics such as race, color, ethnicity, culture, language, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion, national origin, and genetic information, in accordance with applicable federal and Massachusetts anti-discrimination laws.
