Since 1964, the Northwest Regional Re-Entry Center (NWRRC) has been a nonprofit leader in structured reentry services, operating a 150-bed co-ed residential center in Portland, Oregon.

, you will provide 24-hour supervision and monitoring of residents in our facility and during approved community activities.

Some duties are gender-specific (e.g., conducting same-gender pat-down searches and observed urinalysis) due to the facility's co-ed nature.
