Burlington Police Department is hiring a Community Support Liaison!
The Community Support Liaison (CSL) will be a trained professional focusing on services associated with homelessness, substance-use disorder, mental health, and persons with chronic service needs. The CLS will be an integral part of a team that uses timely and accurate information to implement effective tactics and strategies to reduce the need for a police officer’s response to calls for service without immediate public safety or criminal component. The person hired will be responsible for the coordination of all aspects of social work, to include intensive coordination across agencies, stakeholders, and platforms. At times, CSLs will be paired with Police Officers to respond to calls for service.
The CSL’s insights and strategies, informed by trauma-centered, person-centered practices, will guide a fast-paced work environment with a single-minded focus on addressing gaps in Burlington’s various social-service systems. The CSL will help individuals and families in Burlington live healthier lives by working with those who seek service through the Police Department, moderating disputes that result from quality-of-life issues, and acting as an advocate for those in need. The CSL will be directed and supervised by the Community Support Supervisor, in close collaboration with the Deputy Chief of Operations, and will work closely with all of the services that are embedded within the Police Department.
This position will be expected to work a flexible 2nd shift schedule. The schedule is a monthly rotating four days on, three days off, working 10 hours each shift. Start and end of shift are flexible (i.e., shift can start as early as 10 am or as late as 12 pm, at staff discretion).
