A DJS Residential Group Life Manager II is the second one of
two levels of managerial work providing supervision and guidance to youth
residing in a facility operated by the Department of Juvenile Services.
Employees in this classification oversee all services of a facility, except
administration, such as direct care, intake and electronic reporting. Employees
may function as the Assistant Director of the facility. Employees in this
classification supervise DJS Residential Group Life Manager I positions.
The GLM II will provide direct supervision, guidance, and
support to subordinate staff and female youth residing in a hardware-secure
juvenile facility with a committed treatment program. The position is
responsible for maintaining a safe, structured, and therapeutic environment
while promoting positive behavior, accountability, skill development, and
participation in treatment and programming.
The GLM II should have a genuine interest in working with
youth, particularly the female youth population and be
committed to building positive, respectful, and supportive relationships with
them. Experience or training and general knowledge in gender-responsive
programming, trauma-informed care, or other gender-specific interventions is a
plus. The GLM 2 will work collaboratively with
administration, facility staff, education and behavioral
health to support youth development, reinforce treatment goals, and help
prepare youth for a successful transition back to the community.

Employees in this classification receive managerial
supervision from a DJS Assistant Superintendent Residential Facility,
designated administrator or higher-level manager charged with directing the
operation of the facility. Employees may be required to work evenings, weekends
and holidays. Employees may be subject to call-in on a twenty-four hour basis
based on staffing needs. The DJS Residential Group Life Manager II oversees all
services of the facility except administration and has supervisory responsibility
for DJS Residential Group Manager I (the shift commander).
