The Department of Community Justice, Juvenile Services Division is hiring for BOTH Bilingual English/Spanish and non-bilingual positions.
Juvenile Court Counselors (JCCs) are primarily responsible for the case management of at-risk young people (within the framework of the juvenile code) who are in their homes or in residential placements. They provide counseling, case planning, and social services to youth and their families. They address community safety, accountability and skill development. JCCs may be involved with intake evaluation, assessment, investigation, skill development, special programs, adjudication, and transport. Juvenile Court Counselors must also have the ability to build and maintain relationships with community partners.
Juvenile Court Counselors are responsible for youth on diversion and probation. They are responsible for ensuring a youth’s compliance with a Judge’s court order. Much of the probation work done with a young person involves engaging the family to be proactive in providing support and guidance during and after their termination of probation services.
Juvenile Court Counselors use a prescribed case management model in their daily work with juveniles. The Multnomah County Juvenile Services Division case management model is an evidence-based, integrative supervision and case management program for engaging, motivating, assessing, and working successfully with high risk youth and families. Juvenile Counselors conduct home visits both in the home and in the community.
