Oshawa, Canada JHS Durham Full time

The **John Howard Society of Durham Region** has an exciting opportunity for you. We are searching for an individual who has an appreciation for the not-for-profit sector, has a desire to make a positive impact in the community and an interest in the criminal justice system. If this sounds like you, we at John Howard Society of Durham Region, have a place for you.

**Extrajudicial Measures Worker (EJM)/ Court Justice Worker**

**Pre & Post-Charge Diversion Programming**

**Division**:Community and Justice
**Work Status: Full Time - Fixed Term**

**Location: EJM: Durham Region (Whitby base office) & DAP: Oshawa Court House**

**Role**:
This position is a combination of two roles.

The **EJM Program** is designed for youth that fall under the Youth Criminal Justice Act (age 12 to 17 years of age) as an alternative approach to the court system. Young persons in conflict with the law (pre-charge), may be diverted to this service as a measure that helps the individual to better understand the impact of their actions on others. Youth participate in group or individual programming to learn about the social, financial and personal costs of crime to themselves, their families, peers and community. Close communication with Durham Regional Police is undertaken to ensure program participants follow-through with expectations and outcomes from the service.

This role will act as back up to the **Direct Accountability Program** to facilitate adult Pre and Post charge diversion program. For eligible offences, the process provides an alternative to charging or prosecution for the participant. It involves the participant being held accountable through community-based assigned tasks (sanctions) such as paying restitution, making a charitable donation, completing volunteer work, providing an apology, and attending an educational or intervention program. This role will act as back up to the Direct Accountability Program to facilitate the post-charge diversion program in the court office, and the pre-charge program in a JHS office as required when the full time Community Justice Court Worker is away from the office due to vacation, professional development and personal emergency leave. This entails processing referrals, monitoring completion of sanctions and reporting the outcome back to the court or referring police officer, and completing all required documentation.

**Service User Support**
- Conduct general intake/assessment.
- Facilitate short-term cognitive behavioural-based groups to address anger management and theft related issues as per police referrals for youth in EJM
- Provide short-term individual counselling where applicable to address issues including but not limited to self-esteem, family and relationship issues, parental conflict, depression/mental health, peer relationships and bullying type behaviours for youth in EJM
- Facilitate DAP (direct accountability) client sanctions, follow up and referrals, report progress to the court
- Refer to programs and services that will help address issues that brought individuals in conflict with the law
