Job Description

THE SELECTED CANDIDATE WILL BE OFFERED A SALARY BETWEEN $62,868.00 - $72,298.00.

The Administration for Children's Services (ACS) protects and promotes the safety and well-being of children and families through child welfare and juvenile justice services and community supports. ACS manages community-based supports and foster care services, and provides subsidized child care vouchers. ACS child protection staff respond to allegations of child maltreatment. In juvenile justice, ACS oversees detention, placement and programs for youth in the community.

The Division of Youth and Family Justice (DYFJ) provides a wide range of services and programs for youth at every stage of the juvenile justice process. Our goals are to (a) build stronger and safer communities and advance public safety by preventing juveniles from entering the New York City's juvenile justice system, (b) provide therapeutic treatment and services to youth in our custodial care, and (c) help juveniles access the tools they need to leave the justice system for good. We strive to help families and young people by providing supportive services that are responsive to the needs of individual youth and families.

NEST (Nurture, Engage, Support, Treat) Unit ensures that youth served by DYFJ (from detention to placement) are receiving comprehensive and consistent medical, mental health, case management, social and educational services throughout their involvement with our system. In addition, NEST organizes our family engagement and parent support work, and provides staff training on mental health, trauma, LGBTQ issues and Commercially Sexually Exploited Children.

The Case Manager is responsible for the direct intake and assessment of the facilitation, planning, coordination, provision, tracking and monitoring of services (e.g., education, crisis intervention, individual, family and group counseling, pro-social and vocational programming, mentoring, advocacy, and re-entry) provided for each youth admitted to the secure detention facility. The case manager will work within the DYFJ's detention continuum to effectively manage the intake, adjustment, advocacy, planning, discharge and re-entry of juvenile delinquents, juvenile offenders, and adolescent offenders remanded to and/or placed in the care and/or custody of ACS within an assigned secure detention facility.
