The office designs, deploys, and evaluates citywide strategies to drive down crime, reduce unnecessary arrests and incarceration, and improve the system’s fairness. MOCJ works with law enforcement and city agencies, non-profits, foundations, and others to implement data-driven strategies that address current crime conditions, prevent offending, and build the strong neighborhoods that ensure enduring safety.

About the Role:

The Social Work Director responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

  • Oversee the development and work product of social workers and forensic experts.
  • Work closely with 18-B attorneys to guide them in their efforts to communicate with clients and identify appropriate resources for clients.
  • Direct attorneys to effectively utilize forensic and mitigation experts.
  • Help attorneys and social workers identify state and non-profit programs, social workers, and other experts who can assist in client representation.
  • Assist in the recruitment of experts.
  • Coordinate with the Supervising Attorneys for Training to develop trainings for panel attorneys and social workers.
  • Collaborate with other ACP Supervising Attorneys to identify and respond to practice gaps and/or deficiencies.
  • Respond to client, community, and staff concerns.
  • Other duties as assigned.

TO APPLY, PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR RESUME, COVER LETTER, AND REFERENCES.

  • Do you have a satisfactory combination of education and/or experience equivalent to that described in questions "1," "2," and/or "3" above?

Preferred Skills
