We’re always looking for compassionate, energetic, dedicated team members!

Whether you’re a direct support professional interested in caring for children, teens, or adults, a BCBA or a special education teacher, you’ll find our work incredibly rewarding. You can make an enormous difference in the lives of individuals with developmental disabilities. We also believe in supporting our team, and our benefits package includes industry-leading health insurance options, generous paid time off, tuition reimbursement for continuing education needs, and a retirement savings program.

Why do I love working at the Groden Network? I guess I could say the obvious: it is because I love what I do helping people with disabilities achieve their goals. I love watching the smiles they get when they can try and accomplish new things. I love the challenge of helping people change maladaptive behaviors.

- Roland Nickson- Residential Manager, Cove Center
