The Position
Beaverton Municipal Court is hiring a capable and highly organized person to oversee the operations of our Specialty/Treatment Court Programs, including the Behavioral Health Court and B-SOBR (Beaverton Sobriety Opportunity for Beginning Recovery Program) programs. The Specialty Court Coordinator ensures Beaverton’s treatment courts are following the latest evidence-based practices, manages and reports on grants, and implements process improvements to enhance participant outcomes.
The Behavioral Health Court (BHC) exists to promote public safety and recovery by providing opportunities for people with mental illness to stabilize, engage in treatment, access services and resources to promote their own recovery. The program is a probation diversion model that is approximately 12 months long and if successful, will result in dismissal of the case.
Launched in 2011, the B-SOBR program is the first and only evidence-based practice (EBP) DUII court in Oregon and is designed to treat individuals whose drinking and drug use is beyond their control but who continue to drive motor vehicles. B-SOBR participants agree to strict conditions in exchange for remaining out of jail, including regular reports to court, communication with a Case Manager, sobriety and urine tests, wearing an alcohol monitoring bracelet, committing to Alcoholics Anonymous or a similar program, and random check-ins from Beaverton police officers.
The ideal candidate is:
- Knowledgeable about Specialty Court programs, including sentencing, sanctions, incentives, and treatment best practices or eager to learn about this area of law.
- An effective program coordinator, who can manage multiple projects and stay on top of various details and timelines.
- A collaborative communicator who can cultivate effective working relationships with customers, colleagues, attorneys, clinicians, judges, public officials, and the community.
- Highly analytical and adept at monitoring and communicating performance measures and data.
- Familiar with grant management and reporting, and enthusiastic about investigating new grant opportunities.
- Excited to engage community partners and resources that will support BMC’s specialty courts.
