Behavior Officer information

What skills and qualifications are needed to be a behavior officer?

To thrive as a Behavior Officer, you need a background in psychology, behavioral science, or social work, often supported by relevant certifications or degrees. Familiarity with behavioral assessment tools, data management systems, and intervention planning software is typically required. Strong interpersonal skills, conflict resolution abilities, and cultural sensitivity help build trust and effectively address behavioral issues. These skills ensure a safe, supportive environment and facilitate positive behavioral changes in individuals or groups.

What challenges do behavior officers face when implementing behavior intervention plans, and how can they be addressed?

Behavior Officers often encounter challenges such as resistance to change from students or staff, inconsistent implementation of intervention strategies, and difficulty in collecting accurate behavioral data. To address these challenges, it's important to establish clear communication with all stakeholders, provide regular training and support to staff, and use data-driven approaches to monitor progress. Building rapport with students and fostering a positive environment also helps increase cooperation and the effectiveness of intervention plans.

What is a behavior officer?

Behavior Officers are professionals who work primarily in educational, correctional, or organizational settings to monitor, manage, and promote positive behavior among individuals or groups. They develop and implement strategies to address behavioral issues, provide support to those exhibiting challenging behaviors, and often collaborate with other staff, families, or stakeholders. Their goal is to foster a safe and productive environment through guidance, intervention, and consistent enforcement of rules or policies. Behavior Officers may also collect data, report incidents, and recommend appropriate interventions or resources to improve overall conduct.

  • Pass a medical evaluation (vision, hearing, and joint mobility exam)
  • Pass pre-employment drug test
  • Clearance: TSA Public Trust clearance is required - must successfully complete a TSA background investigation, including financial review.
  • Ability to work any day, Monday – Sunday, and any shift between 12:00 AM and 11:59 PM 
Physical Demands:

  • Constant standing, lifting, twisting and bending. 

Training

  • All selected TSO-BD candidates must successfully complete TSA-approved Behavior Detection certification training and maintain certification requirements in accordance with applicable TSA Standard Operating Procedures and operational guidelines.
  • Training includes classroom instruction, on-the-job training, certification examinations, recurrent training, and continuous professional development.
  • Selected Officers must maintain both checkpoint certifications and BD certification standards to remain qualified for assignment. 
Compensation and Benefits 
  • Anticipated pay range for this position is $37.03 – $38.84, determined based on years of service and certifications and in accordance with the applicable Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) and/or Department of Labor Service Contract Act (SCA) wage determination.
We offer: 
  • Competitive pay and comprehensive benefits per CBA/SCA guidelines
  • On-the-job training 
  • Career development opportunities
Travel and Telecommuting: 
  • Telecommute Option: No
  • Relocation: Relocation is not provided.
Working with VMD: 
  • VMD Corp, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xcelerate Solutions, is part of the nation’s critical air travel infrastructure. Our Transportation Security Services team helps protect travelers at home and abroad, providing security services at multiple airports across the United States.
