The mission of Clark County Board of Developmental Disabilities is to empower people throughout their lifetime to achieve their full potential. We believe in empowering the people that we serve and we believe in empowering our employees. Our employees are dedicated to building relationships and partnerships with our community.

Working for CCBDD is rewarding in many ways. We focus on employees' growth and development and support employees' wellbeing.

• Employees are encouraged to work with their supervisor to create an individual development plan to set goals for the employee's growth.

• Employees are enrolled in the Ohio Public Employees Retirement Plan and the Board contributes an amount equal to 14% of the employee's wages to their retirement plan.

• Employees have the option to enroll in medical, dental, and vison insurance plans which have very low premiums. Once deductibles are met, our medical plan pays 100% for most prescriptions and medical treatments.

• Employees who take advantage of the insurance plans will have a health savings account setup and can contribute through payroll deductions. To ensure that employees can afford medical costs the Board contributes $2,000 for single or $4,000 for family to the employee's health savings account.

• Rest and time with friends and families is important. Each year employees have ten holidays, one personal day, board administration days (the days between Christmas and New Year's Day), and generous sick and vacation leaves.

• Employees can apply for tuition assistance.

• Employees can take advantage of the Employee Assistance Program which will provide free counseling for challenges that the employee faces at work or at home.

• Many positions allow flexible scheduling and remote work options once an employee is fully trained.
