This position is located in the Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services (DYRS).

The Correctional Institutional Administrator will supervise Superintendents overseeing the secured facilities; maintain strong relationships with community members, non‑profit organizations, religious leaders, civil rights groups, families and youth to ensure continuum of care and services. The incumbent will administer rehabilitative programs in direct care, committed facilities and provide specialized services and treatment appropriate to the needs of clients such as vocational training and education, social services and counseling and specialized professional diagnostic and treatment services while involving youth and their families as much as possible in developing appropriate treatment plans.
