• Are you ready to serve as a leader and role model in a fast-paced environment by effectively managing and leading change and innovation?
• Do you have exceptional organizational skills?
• Do you believe that all youth are capable of success?

If you answered “yes” to the questions above, we want you to join our team as a Juvenile Department Supervisor at Clackamas County. In this role, the primary responsibilities will include management and oversight of programs that provide direct service to youth, both through Juvenile Department employees and contracted service providers, as well as for training and practice improvement projects that are designed to implement systemic change and reduce disparities system, and providing enhanced skills for juvenile department staff and other community partners involved in youth service delivery and/or public safety.

This position will supervise daily work activities, provide training, coaching and feedback to assigned staff, as well as schedule, hire, train and evaluate employees. The supervisor has primary responsibility for planning, organizing, directing, and evaluating all components of the services and interventions provided to ensure optimum opportunities are provided to the youth, families and victims served by the Clackamas County Juvenile Department. Additionally, you will have an opportunity to implement, instill, and evaluate evidence-based practices, develop and monitor program policies and procedures, supervise continuous quality improvement of service delivery and coordination, and develop and foster community collaborations.

A Juvenile Department Supervisor may be assigned to oversee different department programs and initiatives (or a combination thereof) such as:

Juvenile Intake and Assessment Center Program (JIAC): The purpose of the JIAC is to provide a dedicated 24 hours-a-day/365 days a year resource to support youth, where parent and families and other youth serving agencies can call for supports and information, and law enforcement can bring youth in their custody to receive intake, screening, and assessment services that identify and address immediate youth needs and public safety concerns, while also identifying opportunities for prevention, intervention, and a safe release plan that values community connection while prioritizing community, victim, and youth safety. Juvenile Counselors assigned to the JIAC also provide informal supervision and case management to youth outside of the juvenile court process.

Positive Youth Development Program: The purpose of the Positive Youth Development Program is to provide skill building, competency development, and restorative engagement services to victims and to youth so they can experience positive change, repair harm, and demonstrate skills to successfully transition to adulthood. Examples of services that may be provided to youth involved with the Juvenile Department include opportunities to earn money to pay restitution through community service work crews, pro-social activities, competency development and skills groups, educational support, job training/work readiness opportunities, and internships.

Prevention, Early Intervention & Family Support Program: The purpose of the Prevention, Early Intervention, & Family Support Program is to provide community-based prevention, diversion, system navigation and connection, and family engagement services to youth and families so families receive the support needed to prevent or interrupt further involvement in the juvenile justice system.

Court Supervision Services Program: The purpose of the Court Supervision Services Program is to provide intervention, accountability, compliance monitoring, case management, and support services to youth referred to the Department so they can understand the impact of their actions, repair harm, successfully complete supervision, and stop committing offenses. The Juvenile Department seeks to provide an appropriate level of intervention and supervision to youth who have cases pending in Juvenile Court, or those placed on formal court probation while helping to develop natural supports in the communities of youth that will continue beyond their formal involvement with the juvenile justice system.

Candidates must be willing to accept assignment that may work across these programs to meet the business needs of the Juvenile Department.

We are committed to being an exemplary organization with best practices in providing equitable juvenile justice, family support, intervention, and reformation services to youth, so they can repair harm to victims, experience positive change, and contribute to a safe, healthy and secure community. To that end, we are searching for an individual with the highest degree of integrity and professional ethics, who is motivated to promote and foster a collaborative, partnership-focused, respectful, equitable and supportive environment while demonstrating flexibility, a commitment to teamwork, and leadership skills that will allow us to improve, develop, and enhance our operations.
