Part-Time Work Crew Site Supervisor

Part-Time Work Crew Site Supervisor-Rochester

The Opportunity

We're looking for Part Time Work Crew Supervisors to help us live our mission to prepare more than 6,000 people with recent criminal convictions for securing employment each year.

Part Time Work Crew Supervisors step in to support, supervise, and train Work Crews of 5-7 participants on days in which full-time Site Supervisors are unable to come in due to vacation, illness, or other personal reasons. Site Supervisors, whether full-time, part-time, or per diem, create uplifting work environments for our participants that ensure their safety, provide on-the-job supervision and coaching, encourage and empower team members to seize each opportunity for building knowledge and skill sets, and foster engagement and accountability across the crew.

Given this position's as needed nature, it's a perfect role for retirees hoping to continue to have an impact within their communities, individuals with very flexible schedules, or individuals who are self-employed and are looking for an opportunity here and there to connect with others. It's anticipated that an As Needed Site Supervisor will participate in one week of paid training and work around 10-20 days per year, with potential for additional days. The As Needed Site Supervisor will support the San Bernardino and Riverside Work Crew Sites. 

This role is perfect for you if you enjoy a non-traditional workspace, like being on your feet and moving around, and love being outdoors.

 As part of our mission, we strongly encourage individuals who have lived experience of incarceration or involvement in the justice system to apply for this role.

Who We Are

The Center for Employment Opportunities (CEO) provides employment services to people recently released from incarceration. Across the United States, 8,000-9,000 people participate in CEO each year, transitioning to employment that supports themselves, their families, and their communities.

What began as a demonstration project of the Vera Institute of Justice in the 1970s to address employment barriers facing the formerly incarcerated following release in New York City has grown into the leading reentry employment organization in the country, where over 30,000 formerly incarcerated individuals have secured full-time employment since 1996.
