Motivational Interviewing: You'll establish rapport with Justice Involved Individuals and enhance their motivation to succeed through collaborative communication, confronting issues in a non-threatening manner, and using positive and negative reinforcements.

All candidates must be able to communicate and interact effectively and professionally with people from diverse backgrounds.
Investigation and Public Safety Work: You will conduct field investigations, adhering to specific protocols and standards, to uncover facts that are often hidden, unique or complex.

It is common to refer victims/survivors to resources around housing, relocation, legal support, basic needs, counseling, and financial losses.
Providing emotional support to victims/survivors and education around the impacts of trauma.
Coordinating and communicating on case management plans with Parole and Probation Officers and Juvenile Court Counselors on associated cases.
Maintaining records, referrals, and statistics etc.
Accompanying victims/survivors to court when needed.
Regularly attending unit meetings in both the juvenile and adult services division to share information and education around crime victims’ rights and working with crime victims/survivors.
Proactively engaging with staff in the Adult Services Division and Juvenile Services Division to discuss cases, provide support and consultation, and share about victim/survivor services available.
Assisting in the design and delivery of workshops and training programs for both the Department of Community Justice staff as well as partners such as police, prosecutors, and medical professionals.
Successful candidates will demonstrate:
Knowledge and understanding of the origins and impacts of the disparities, oppression, and injustices experienced by marginalized identities, and how these experiences affect victim/survivor engagement and outcomes within the criminal justice system.
Experience working with and supporting victims/survivors, and understanding of crime victims’ rights under Oregon Law.
Ability to promote a culture of respect, inclusiveness, and appreciation of diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and values.
Knowledge of cultures, dynamics, and customs of traditionally oppressed communities.
