What You’ll Do

Denver’s Department of Public Health and Environment (DDPHE) is dedicated to advancing Denver’s environmental and public health goals. DDPHE works collaboratively with city, state and community partners to conduct education, community engagement, and enforcement to promote healthy people, healthy pets, and a sustainable environment. DDPHE oversees a number of services related to public health and the environment and is comprised of six divisions: Division of Shared Services and Business Operations; Community & Behavioral Health; Public Health Investigations; Denver Animal Protection; the Office of Medical Examiner; and Environmental Quality. For more information on DDPHE’s programs and services, visit the DDPHE website at: Denver Department of Public Health and Environment.

We foster an inclusive culture by respecting the values, customs, and authenticity of everyone and by implementing equitable public health strategies so Denver communities can thrive.

The Community and Behavioral Health team has two openings for a Case Management Supervisor (Roads to Recovery Program). These positions will work together in overseeing the entirety of the case management work for the Roads to Recovery (R2R) Program within DDPHE. R2R is one of Mayor Johnston’s 2024 goals to move 200 individuals struggling with addiction or mental health out of the criminal justice system and into a coordinated intervention, treatment, and rehabilitation pipeline. In this role, you will supervise a small team of case managers while also working directly with clients.

Specifically, as the Case Management Supervisor you will:

• Supervise a team of case managers including hiring, on-boarding, training, and providing on-going support to their work.
• Work directly with Roads to Recovery clients in the same manner as your case management team.
• Actively identify workflow efficiencies, develop new partnerships with service providers, and engage directly with other City agencies to ensure the best service possible for R2R clients.
• Manage grant contracts for compliance, performance, and reporting to maintain funding for the program. Will work closely with other staff in CBH to apply for additional grant funding as needed.
• Ensure equity is centered in all aspects of the program.
• Manage a program database.
• Understand the links between behavioral health issues, substance use disorder, homelessness, and the criminal justice system.
• Be comfortable working with and communicating with members of the community and policy makers.
• Along with all department staff, this position will actively participate on an emergency preparedness and response team to support DDPHE’s responsibilities outlined in the City’s Emergency Operations Plan. This may require being ‘on-call’ from time to time to help respond to emergencies. Additional training commensurate with assigned duties will be provided.
• These positions are new roles being built as the R2R Program is developed and candidates should be aware that duties will evolve over time.
