Youth Clinical Case Coordinator

Overview:

Manhattan Supervised Release provides supervision services to individuals arrested in Manhattan and placed on Pretrial Supervised Release. Supervised participants are mandated to comply with release reporting conditions in the community and may seek voluntary help with connection to behavioral health treatment and a variety of community-based supports and services.

CASES seeks a youth and young adult-focused Clinical Case Coordinator for its new youth initiative, Planning Alternatives & Creating Community (PACC) program under its Pretrial Services Supervised Release program. The youth-focused Clinical Case Coordinator will primarily work with justice system involved 16–27-year-old participants. Our team consists of Case Coordinators, Clinical Case Coordinators, and youth workers to support young people to achieve and maintain pretrial compliance while offering a range of youth focused services, such as incentivized work programs, to support early intervention and long-term success in the community. By utilizing the Rewire framework, we promote socio-emotional development while driving diversion from the criminal legal system, our team will promote proactive, sustained engagement with young people in the community as a catalyst toward pathways of education and employment, including by bridging to effective community partners eager to support our participants to achieve their goals. Working with the young-adult population requires flexibility, creativity, and persistence, and the Clinical Case Coordinator will be expected to engage with their participants (and individuals in their identified support networks) both at the office and in the community.
