Work History
Juvenile Justice Specialist Supervisor
North Central Secure Treatment Unit

- During my time as a Juvenile Justice Specialist Supervisor, I performed supervisory duties in the care, custody, training, And supervision of adjudicated youth. I provided on-the-job supervision for Juvenile Justice Specialists while they carried out their daily job duties throughout the daily activities of the adjudicated youth. As a Juvenile Justice Specialist Supervisor. I planned, directed, and supervised program activities, assisted in maintaining a safe and secure environment, communicated both orally and in writing, transported residents as required, maintained standards of attendance, and effectively supervised, trained, and developed employees, specifically Juvenile Justice Specialists. I met with the Juvenile Justice Specialists to ensure they were meeting work standards and answered any questions that they had. As a supervisor, if I saw something that needed to be addressed, I met with the employee, on an individual basis, face-to-face, to discuss the issue presented. and ensured that a safe and secure environment was maintained.
- In addition to supervisory duties, I was still expected to complete those job duties of a Juvenile Justice Specialist. I assisted in maintaining a safe, secure and structured environment throughout the youth's daily activities, which include wake-up, personal hygiene, dietary, recreation, skill-building, treatment groups, and all other programmed activities. Also, when a youth presented a danger to themselves or others, a restrictive procedure was used to ensure the safety and security of the youth and their peers. I participated and assisted in implementing the adjudicated youth's treatment plan, in the Multi-Disciplinary Team process, and in the searches of the youth and visitors, facility grounds and buildings. Communication is essential, and the adjudicated youth's are observed in regards to any changes in personality, demeanor, which is then reported to their counselor and treatment team via e-mail, log entry, and face-to-face. Pertaining to communication, I reported any issues and/or anything of importance to staff shift-to-shift, completed reports, log entries, and forms to maintain accurate records of daily observations of the youth's progress in meeting program and individual goals
