If you're seeking a growth opportunity where you can challenge your professionalism, continually learn, be collaborative, and positively impact your community, this may be the right position for you.

EPICS Case Management
Multnomah County DCJ was one of the first to use EPICS case management and Evidence Based practices, we take pride in leading the way with innovative solutions.
Some examples of evidence-based practices that we use include:
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. You'll identify each client's needs and risk factors, develop timelines to help them meet their goals, and implement action plans for clients and their families.
EPICS (Effective Practices in Community Supervision): You will be trained and use a research driven case management model specifically designed to address the highest criminogenic risk domains. EPICS includes a focus on the use of cognitive behavioral interventions.
Effective Communication: Your ability to communicate in a respectful manner and adapt your communication style for diverse audiences will be key to working effectively with clients, community partners and co-workers. Your writing skills and attention to detail will enable you to prepare accurate, well-written reports and documents for the courts, treatment agencies and other stakeholders, often within tight timelines. 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. You will utilize your crisis prevention, intervention and de-escalation skills to keep the community, your clients and yourself safe. You’ll make decisions to arrest in accordance with departmental rules and procedures. You’ll coordinate, conduct arrests, and transport as necessary.
Organization and Time Management: You will be responsible for organizing and prioritizing your own workload to meet strict deadlines. (This can be challenging in a setting where work tasks and priorities change frequently.) You will work independently and as part of a team, and you'll develop creative and innovative ideas to handle your caseload as efficiently as possible.
We encourage bilingual applicants to apply. Some positions require oral and written fluency in English and a second language.
