As the first point of contact for victims and offenders referred to the program, the Restorative Justice Manager works toward the goal of providing an alternative to the criminal justice system that focuses on why crime occurs, the affects on others and how it can be repaired. The Restorative Justice Program Manager works with a team of volunteers along with youth and adult offenders to identify root cause(s) of their harm/crime in order to assist in developing preventative interventions and supports. This involves collaboration with Nelson Police Department members, Civilian Staff, community, victims of crime and other relevant parties to resolve conflict, promote accountability and foster healing.
Reporting to the Chief Constable, the Restorative Justice Program Manager will train and supervise volunteers to participate in the restorative justice process, articulate the impacts of crime on the community and contribute to meaningful resolutions with offenders. The program will strive for working toward cultural diversity and awareness of difference in our community and build positive relationships and supports. This position works closely with the Restorative Justice Advisory Committee who provide assistance, direction and support to the Program Manager.
If you have a degree in either Human Services, criminology, social work or a related field or a combination of education and experience, with 3 years experience in program development and program management in the community social services sector together with experience in writing and applying for grant funding, this might be the position for you.
