If you answered yes to these questions, this job may be for you!
The Department of Community Justice Juvenile Services Division (JSD) is seeking committed and compassionate Juvenile Court Counselors (JCCs) to join our team! This recruitment may be used to fill both bilingual English/Spanish language required and non-bilingual positions.
Juvenile Court Counselors (JCCs) serve as essential navigators for at-risk youth and their families within the court system, operating under the legal framework of ORS 419A.012. JCCs perform comprehensive and complex case management, evaluation, and supervision for at-risk youth and their families, ensuring community safety, accountability, and skill development.
Central to their work is the Juvenile Services Division’s evidence-based case management model, which emphasizes an integrative and holistic approach. JCCs do not simply monitor behavior; they actively foster long-term change by tailoring strategies to a youth’s specific strengths, cultural background, and environmental needs. By building strong relationships with community partners and engaging families to provide proactive support, JCCs aim to balance accountability with the skill development necessary for a youth's successful transition out of the justice system.
