Director of Community Corrections
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only sections with real content. The posting includes:
- About The Opportunity (maybe "About the role")
- About The Department/Division (maybe "About the department"? Not a listed heading but we could treat as "About the role"? Actually "About The Opportunity" is description of role. We'll map to "About the role". Use About the role
then paragraphs.
- Responsibilities: "Essential Duties Include" list.
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (Education and Experience) plus Additional Requirements.
- Qualifications: maybe "Ideal Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities (KSAs)" could be Skills or Qualifications. We'll treat as Skills.
- Benefits: Not explicitly listed; there is mention of benefits in "Our Commitment To You" but not specific benefits. The instruction: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It mentions "offer an award-winning benefits and wellness program". That's a statement of benefits but not specific. Might be considered vague; but it's a statement that benefits exist. However instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state benefits exist but not specifics. Might be considered too vague; safer to omit Benefits section.
- Pay: Pay Range given: $168,022.68 - $214,389.84. So we can include Pay section.
- Schedule: Not mentioned. Omit.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Pay.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Must include all details from those sections.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For paragraphs use
. For headings
.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc.
We need to fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Eg "Job Type Regular", "Pay Range", "Salary Department", "FLSA Exemption Status Exempt". Those are metadata; we can include them in a short paragraph maybe under Pay? Actually Pay Range is part of Pay section. We'll include Pay Range in Pay section. The other metadata like Job Type Regular, Department, FLSA status could be placed in a short
maybe under About the role? But instruction: fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. We could include a brief paragraph after the heading that includes those details. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; those are substantive? They are metadata but still info. We'll include them in a short paragraph.
We need to avoid boilerplate like EEO etc. Remove those.
Let's extract content.
About The Opportunity paragraph(s):
"This position will remain open until filled, with the first review of applications beginning the week of Monday, October 5th. Applications submitted after this date will be reviewed as needed. Washington County is seeking a Director of Community Corrections who can inspire, guide, and elevate the department’s vital work in supporting community safety and rehabilitation. This role goes beyond day‑to‑day management; it calls for a leader who can shape direction, strengthen partnerships, and champion evidence-based practices that help individuals succeed and communities thrive. As a key member of the County Leadership Team, the Director of Community Corrections reports directly to the Assistant County Administrator and works in alignment with the Board of County Commissioners. This role requires someone who can operate effectively within a complex governmental structure, balancing strategic vision with transparent communication and coordinated partnership across County departments. The Director will oversee a wide range of operations within Community Corrections, providing leadership grounded in accountability, fairness, and compassion. With deep experience in the criminal justice system, this leader will navigate complex programs, regulatory requirements, and various service areas, including probation, parole, residential services, and victim support, while ensuring strong alignment with laws, professional standards, and County values. The department includes two unions, and the Director must be skilled in building strong labor‑management relationships that support staff, reinforce clear communication, and maintain a respectful and collaborative environment. We are looking for a leader who is visible, accessible, and deeply committed to staff development and wellness. Someone who values teamwork and takes the time to listen, advocating for officer safety, supporting work–life balance, and fostering an environment where employees feel respected, supported, and empowered. The Director will maintain consistent communication with represented and non‑represented staff to ensure clarity, trust, and support across the department. Whether facing routine challenges or periods of transformation, this director will bring thoughtful judgment, strategic insight, and steady leadership that aligns with and strengthens the department’s mission."
That's a lot; we keep as paragraphs.
About The Department/Division paragraph(s):
"The Washington County Community Corrections Department plays a vital role in supporting safety, accountability, and meaningful change in our community. With a budget of just over 36 million dollars and approximately 150 staff, the department provides probation, parole, post‑prison supervision, and residential services for adult justice‑involved individuals. Employees are represented by two unions, reflecting the broad team delivering critical services across multiple program areas. The department is committed to reducing harm, supporting long‑term behavior change, and helping individuals rebuild their lives. Staff deliver structured residential programming, evidence‑based supervision, access to treatment, life‑skills support, advocacy, and mental health resources—efforts grounded in fairness, accountability, and the wellbeing of Washington County residents. This mission is carried out through close collaboration with justice partners, community organizations, service providers, and the public. Through clear communication, strong partnerships, and consistent use of evidence‑based practices, the department works to build trust, promote stability, and enhance community safety. Responsible resource stewardship and adherence to regulatory standards support these outcomes. Together, these functions ensure a system that holds individuals accountable while contributing meaningfully to positive change and community wellbeing throughout Washington County."
We could merge this into About the role or maybe a separate section "About the department". But only allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. No "About the department". Could incorporate into About the role as additional paragraph. That's fine.
Responsibilities: "Essential Duties Include" list:
- Provide leadership, direction, and strategic planning for all Community Corrections functions, ensuring compliance, accessibility, and alignment with County priorities.
- Oversee probation, parole, residential services, victim services, and related programs with a commitment to fairness, transparency, and evidence‑based practice.
- Manage department operations, budgeting, staffing, and resources with efficiency, foresight, and accountability.
