Prevention Manager

ICF is currently seeking a Prevention Manager to serve as part of a team designed to strengthen a prevention-oriented, compliance-focused culture across the Office of Refugee Resettlement's care provider network by aligning policy, expectations, training, communication, monitoring and continuous quality improvement.

Staff will be embedded in ORR's response team to understand serious incidents, monitoring and audit findings, and other qualitative and quantitative data as part of a quality planning cycle.

The team will be responsible for assessing protocols, practices, and workforce of approximately 150 care provider programs as it relates to a culture and climate of safety and making recommendations for strategies and tools to improve safety and prevent child abuse and neglect.
