Community Support Program — Justice Involved (CSP-JI)

Ignite Recovery | Full-Time | 35–40 hrs/week

The Role

This is community-based service coordination. You connect members to care, help them stay in the community, and address the barriers — including criminogenic ones — standing between them and stability. You're not a clinician and not a corrections officer — you're the person who understands both worlds and works the space between them.

Who You Are

A paraprofessional with a bachelor's degree in a related field, or lived experience in recovery or past justice involvement. You understand the justice system and behavioral health, and you know how to help someone navigate both — assertively, and with trauma-informed care.

You believe recovery is always possible, that people deserve dignity over judgment, and that justice involvement doesn't define someone's future.

Multilingual and multicultural candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.

What You Do

Engage members through outreach and follow-up to maintain community tenure.

Develop and update a CSP-JI Service Plan addressing criminogenic needs, recovery goals, and behavioral health — coordinated with probation/parole so plans don't conflict.

Connect members to behavioral health providers, MAT, and community supports; coordinate with parole/probation officers, correctional institutions, and BH-JI providers as needed.

Address barriers — housing, employment, transportation, benefits, childcare.

Maintain at least 4 contacts per member every 30 days (1+ in-person).

Support discharge planning from day one, including a safety plan and written aftercare plan.

Document all contacts and progress; report Reportable Adverse Incidents within 1 business day.

Protect confidentiality, follow safety protocols, and participate in supervision and ongoing training.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in human services, social work, criminal justice, or related field — OR lived experience in recovery or past justice involvement.
Knowledge of the justice system, re-entry/probation/parole processes, and behavioral health systems.
Trauma-informed, culturally humble, comfortable with electronic documentation.

Requirements

Candidates must possess a bachelor's degree in a human services field or have lived experience in recovery or past justice involvement. Proficiency in navigating the justice and behavioral health systems, along with a valid driver's license and reliable transportation, is required.

Behavioral health roles remain active in Massachusetts

In Massachusetts, behavioral health employers often look for licensed or license-eligible clinicians with experience supporting at-risk youth and families, so demand tends to stay steady for candidates who can work across settings and age groups. These roles can be competitive because employers usually want a master’s degree, a clear licensure path, and practical experience; review the summarized requirements and benefits here, which are AI-summarized from the original job description to save research time, then confirm your licensure status and tailor your application to youth and family work.
