The Department of Community Justice is seeking enthusiastic and motivated Community Health Specialist 2’s (CHS2) to join our dynamic team! We’re recruiting for the following positions:
1 - Regular, full time CHS2 with Women & Family Services
2 - Limited Duration CHS2s (no more than 2 years duration) with the Stabilization and Readiness Program (SARP)
These positions are responsible for developing and delivering activities designed to promote individual and community change. Duties include focusing on social determinants of health, referral outreach and care coordination, health education, community engagement and health promotion. This position requires the ability to communicate (written, oral, etc.) in English and ability to drive to various locations/sites.
The Community Health Specialist 2 positions will work with both clients in custody and within the community. You will develop rapport and engage justice involved clients while assisting Probation and Parole officers with case planning and community program referrals.
The CHS2 will assess the needs of individuals currently involved with the justice system and their families to help identify risk factors and make appropriate referrals based on those risks and needs. The CHS 2 will spend the majority of their time with clients in the community or in community corrections offices.
Typical tasks include:
Direct Client Service and Documentation: respond to referrals for care coordination, individual and family support, health promotion, and referral to community and social support services based on needs and risks of the client, based on their assessment and case plan.
Prepare and collaborate on safety plans for clients and families.
Health Care Assessment: Assess individuals and recognize social and mental health risk factors. Conduct health care screenings and coordinate health care while working directly with a Parole and Probation Officer to create a case plan.
Health and Treatment Navigation: Assist individuals and families in navigating health and mental health systems.
Referrals and coordination for housing.
Working with clients in custody and in the community
Working collaboratively with Parole & Probation Officers
Home visits are considered an essential function of the CHW position; clients are often most comfortable talking about sensitive issues, supports needed and barriers to care, as well as addressing health promotion in the comfort of their own home. You will be required to do this independently, with a partner or with a Parole and Probation Officer.

The Department of Community Justice is seeking enthusiastic and motivated Community Health Specialist 2’s (CHS2) to join our dynamic team! We’re recruiting for the following positions:
1 - Regular, full time CHS2 with Women & Family Services
2 - Limited Duration CHS2s (no more than 2 years duration) with the Stabilization and Readiness Program (SARP)
These positions are responsible for developing and delivering activities designed to promote individual and community change. Duties include focusing on social determinants of health, referral outreach and care coordination, health education, community engagement and health promotion. This position requires the ability to communicate (written, oral, etc.) in English and ability to drive to various locations/sites.
The Community Health Specialist 2 positions will work with both clients in custody and within the community. You will develop rapport and engage justice involved clients while assisting Probation and Parole officers with case planning and community program referrals.
The CHS2 will assess the needs of individuals currently involved with the justice system and their families to help identify risk factors and make appropriate referrals based on those risks and needs. The CHS 2 will spend the majority of their time with clients in the community or in community corrections offices.
Typical tasks include:
Direct Client Service and Documentation: respond to referrals for care coordination, individual and family support, health promotion, and referral to community and social support services based on needs and risks of the client, based on their assessment and case plan.
Prepare and collaborate on safety plans for clients and families.
Health Care Assessment: Assess individuals and recognize social and mental health risk factors. Conduct health care screenings and coordinate health care while working directly with a Parole and Probation Officer to create a case plan.
Health and Treatment Navigation: Assist individuals and families in navigating health and mental health systems.
