Job Description
About Our Job
Denver Public Safety Youth Programs (DPSYP) is seeking 3 (three) Intake Specialists to support the Runaway Outreach Notification and Intervention (RONI) Project and the Denver Anti-Trafficking Alliance High-Risk Youth Multidisciplinary Team (DATA HRY MDT).
DPSYP RONI Project has partnered with the Denver Police Department to civilianize the response, outreach, and follow-up to juvenile runaway incidents. Outside of exigent circumstances, parents and guardians will be connected with an Intake Specialist who will complete a police report, conduct follow-up, and partner with DPSYP Outreach Specialists to determine next steps. Additional responsibilities consist of providing services and support to parent(s)/guardian(s), which consists of safety planning, harm reduction, and a trauma informed response. Intake Specialists will work closely with Youth Outreach Specialists to ensure engagement occurs once the youth is located, as well as completing follow-up reports, and maintain regular communication with service providers, partner organizations, and parent(s)/guardian(s).
The purpose of the DATA HRY MDT is to identify the presence of, or risk for exploitation/human trafficking among all youth referred to the MDT and apply a victim-centered and trauma informed response. Intake Specialists when completing RONI Intake will assess for risk of exploitation/human trafficking, and assign Youth Outreach Specialists cases deemed high-risk, which requires regular engagement with the youth in the community, providing safety planning, and harm-reduction, with the overall goal of intervention and prevention of human trafficking and exploitation. There will be a collaborative effort in providing the youth and family support between the Youth Outreach Specialists and Intake Specialists.
We are looking for candidates who have previous experience working with youth and families, performing coordinated case management services for youth that included outreach to youth/families, screening and assessment, case planning, crisis response, and ongoing case coordination to support youth/family engagement. Flexibility with work schedule is a must as this position requires non-traditional shifts and non-traditional days.

Duties Include but are not limited to:
  • Provide community members with overview of RONI Project as well as resources within the community when dealing with a youth who regularly runs away or is identified as high-risk for exploitation or human trafficking.
  • Take the initial runaway police report, complete various screening tools to determine next steps, and complete any additional follow-up reports.
  • Being able to immediately determine next steps during crisis situations.
  • Assist parent(s)/guardian(s) with making report to law enforcement if exigent circumstances exist that would require a law enforcement response.
  • Continued communication with identified service providers, parent(s)/guardian(s).
  • Assign Youth Outreach Specialist(s) to conduct engagement once youth is located.
  • Documentation in various department databases.
About You
Our ideal candidate will:
  • Have excellent written and oral communication skills
  • Be Bilingual (Spanish) - preferred but not required
  • Have prior experience working with youth and families
Below are the minimum requirements used to determine eligibility for this position:
  • Experience Requirement: One (1) year of experience implementing behavioral and/or educational programs for youth and assisting in developing and implementing treatment plans.
  • Licensure & Certification: By position, requires a valid Driver's License at the time of application. Licenses and certifications must be kept current as a condition of employment.
  • Education & Experience Equivalency: One (1) year of the appropriate type and level of experience may be substituted for each required year of post high school education. Additional appropriate education may be substituted for the minimum experience requirements.
