Company Description
Program Overview:CASES provides support to youth and young adults who have cases in the Family Court system. Under the direction of the Supervisor, the Court Liaison works with young people and their families during their mandate. The Court Liaison will be part of a larger court team with primary responsibilities being intake and on-going court appearances for participants mandated to our programs. Court Liaisons are intended to be present at all court appearances.
Opportunities for remote work: If there is coverage from a team member and the Liaison does not have any scheduled appearance, they will have the opportunity to work remotely once reviewed by the supervisor. This will not be a set schedule and is fully dependent on coverage and scheduled court appearances.
We believe that in-person operations are the best way to serve our clients, both directly and through essential operational support. This is not a remote position and will require you to work in our offices.
