The Maryland Department of Juvenile Services (DJS) is dedicated to transforming young lives, creating safer communities, and fostering equitable systems. We are seeking passionate individuals for the role of the DJS Case Management Specialist Supervisor Community, so come join our team and make a meaningful impact on youth and the community at DJS! 

The Evening Reporting Center (ERC) is part of the statewide Juvenile Detention Alternative Initiative (JDAI), which allows youth to remain in the community pending a court appearance. Under this initiative, youth are placed in court-ordered alternative to detention programs, as opposed to being placed in secure confinement. In addition, the Court may order that some youth be placed in the ERC along with Community Detention and/or Electronic Monitoring. The ERC serves both the male and female populations in Baltimore City and Baltimore County with a total capacity of 15 youth. Youth in the program are subject to enhanced treatment and supervision through daily attendance at the program. 

The ERC is responsible for providing supervision and guidance to youth while maintaining safety, care, and program continuity in accordance with established DJS policies and procedures. The main purpose of this position is to administer, manage, and ensure that the objectives and goals of the ERC and the Department of Juvenile Services are carried out. The CMSS oversees line and direct care staff (Case Managers, Residential Advisors) in order to ensure that youth are abiding by program rules and conditions of the Court and that the staff are performing duties and following established policies and procedures. The ERC Case Management Specialist Supervisor reports to the ERC Program Manager.
