PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The REGIONS Site Secure Program is a secure residential treatment program for up to 16 male youth. The mission of the program is to provide a home-like environment with a trauma-informed, culturally responsive, gender-specific, linguistically appropriate, strengths-based, and relationship-driven milieu for the youth to help them improve their social, physical and emotional well-being. Our vision is to therapeutically intervene in the cycle of offending to reduce the youth's risk factors and prevent them from transitioning into the adult justice system. Our treatment philosophy is one that is individualized, designed to help the youth develop a positive self-image, learn effective coping skills, experience success, gain confidence, build positive relationships, achieve behavioral changes and re-enter their communities better equipped to succeed.

The high-risk youth in this program will likely have a history of violence and be of significant risk for future violence. They may be a significant risk to public safety and demonstrate chronic and persistent patterns of violent or public safety offenses. The youth may present with multiple complex needs that are challenging to treat and a history of poor treatment attitude and response. The youth may exhibit escalating antisocial sophistication. Their AWOL risk is high in context of low treatment amenability and if they elope, they will likely engage in violent or public safety offenses.

POSITION REQUIREMENTS

The ideal candidate will have an Associate's degree or higher with experience working with at risk or court-involved adolescents and in residential treatment programs. A Bachelor's degree in the criminal justice field with a related internship may be considered in lieu of work experience. Understanding and knowledge of gender-specific, trauma-informed, culturally responsive and linguistically appropriate issues and needs. Strong interpersonal, communication, emotional intelligence, decision making and crisis management skills. Ability to interact effectively with a multi-cultural population. Must share the belief that people can change and individuals in need deserve quality services and an opportunity to succeed. Must be willing to work in a hardware secure environment. Must have and maintain a valid CT driver's license and have reliable transportation. Must be able to transport clients to appointments and into the community in mechanical restraints, have the capacity to become medication and SCM (Safe Crisis Management) certified, and work additional hours and/or overtime as needed. Bi-lingual ability (Spanish/English) preferred. Candidates with lived experience are encouraged to apply.

Training Requirements and Work Environment Conditions

Selected candidates will be required to complete and pass a mandatory 120-hour training curriculum within their first year of employment. Training sessions will be conducted during standard hours (8:00 AM to 4:00 PM). Thereafter, employees must complete a minimum of 40 hours of training annually. Required trainings will include, but are not limited to:

Ethics and Boundaries
Suicide Prevention
First Aid / CPR / AED
Safe Crisis Management
PREA (Prison Rape Elimination Act)
DCF Mandated Reporting
Additional trainings relevant to assigned job functions

The training program includes Safe Crisis Management, which involves both verbal de-escalation techniques and physical restraint methods used to maintain the safety of both youth and staff during crisis situations.

Work Environment Note:
Candidates should be aware that the position may involve exposure to assaultive or abusive behavior from youth, and there is a potential risk of injury. Exposure to communicable diseases is also possible due to the nature of the work.
