*** 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.
