CONFIDENTIAL SALARY:
$50,000 I.
GENERAL STATEMENT OF DUTIES AND
Responsibilities:
The Re-entry Services Coordinator (RSC) will be part of the multi-disciplinary team at the Community Justice Support Center (Support Center).
Support Centers provide treatment, education, career counseling, and case management support to people that are justice-involved as an alternative to jail and prison.
The RSC will work specifically with those returning from a period of incarceration as part of a new initiative called, Ralph Gants Re-entry Services Program, (Gants Program).
The Gants Program will leverage all the supports available at the Support Center and in the community to address emerging needs of those returning from jail and prison like food, healthcare, housing, state-ID, etc.
The Gants Program will also work with clients to address deep-rooted needs that may contribute to future criminal involvement like education, employment, decision-making, and drug and alcohol use.
The RSC may be a person with lived experience that has special insight into the challenges faced by those returning from a period of incarceration.
The RSC will be a person that can build rapport, demonstrate empathy, set appropriate professional boundaries, and deliver the support needed to ensure that those returning from prison find positive change.

Don't Be Fooled

The fraudster will send a check to the victim who has accepted a job. The check can be for multiple reasons such as signing bonus, supplies, etc. The victim will be instructed to deposit the check and use the money for any of these reasons and then instructed to send the remaining funds to the fraudster. The check will bounce and the victim is left responsible.
