May assist with orientation of newly admitted youth to the juvenile detention facility by explaining facility rules and the facility behavior level system. Staff are expected to introduce youth to the structure of daily routines, outlining the expectations for behavior and providing information to youth on available programs and services.

The detention facility and Residential Program have two-level pods that house youth. All Juvenile Custody Services Specialists must have the ability to use verbal skills to de-escalate volatile situations. You must also be able and willing to respond to crisis situations, including physically intervening with youth who may be violently acting out; this may involve the use of restraints.

Duties
What makes this role unique? In this role you will serve as the subject matter expert and HR lead in Position Allocation and Classification. You will also provide consultation and training to HR staff and agency managers on the designated area of expertise. This position is not transaction-focused, rather the focus is on consulting, creating, and improving. What you will do:
Work with team mates to ensure DEIR is integrated into position descriptions and the hiring process. We are working to ensure unnecessary barriers do not exist when seeking employment with Ecology, including updating our required minimum qualifications to account for alternative ways to be qualified, instead of always relying upon degrees, wherever possible.
Collaborate with assigned programs to identify workforce issues and be empowered to help resolve them. We encourage our HR Business Partners to identify creative solutions wherever possible, and not rely upon “the way we’ve always done it”. These opportunities may include working on classification & compensation proposals, modifying existing procedures, and working to ensure proposed policy meets our customers’ needs.
Become an expert in human resource management, and employee and labor relations; be the strategic partner and advocate to the executives, managers, and supervisors in assigned programs for workforce planning, employee performance management, labor relations, and all other human resource management and personnel functions.

Work collaboratively to support the goals of the programs/offices and the mission of the agency by strategically partnering with program staff to manage issues related to Classification and Compensation in assigned programs. Provide expertise and consultation on job classifications, compensation and workforce planning. Analyze position descriptions and make allocation determinations. Represent agency in classification appeals and coordinate preparation. Perform FLSA designation review and determinations. Serve as the coordinator for the agency WMS Banding Committee.
Consult with employees and supervisors and provide assistance regarding state and federal employment laws, civil service rules, collective bargaining agreements, agency policies, career development opportunities, classification and pay and other issues.

Identify and implement continuous problem improvement solutions to create more effective and efficient business practices.
Meet established and mutually agreed upon service deliveries or timelines associated with work product.
Contribute positively to our agency and team culture.
Quickly learn about assigned business areas to be able to be a trusted, strategic business partner.
Opportunities to solve problems:
This position has the opportunity to approach problems with the philosophy of providing risk-based advice with options. The conversation doesn't begin or end with "no." We seek to understand and provide creative solutions when possible, utilizing our subject matter expertise to clearly communicate risk associated with each option.
Classification and compensation challenges – true position planning from start to finish, including identifying workforce gaps that may lead to classification & compensation proposals.
Performance management challenges – how to coach leaders to address issues appropriately to reach the best outcome, including opportunities to provide focused, individual training or broader training to groups of employees.
