Drug Court Case Management and Security Officer

The Fourteenth Circuit Solicitor’s Office seeks a fulltime Case Management and Security Officer for its life-transforming Multidisciplinary Court program. The employee will assist in expanding the program into Hampton and Allendale counties and developing programs for current and past participants circuit-wide. Our Multidisciplinary Court program helps defendants overcome their drug- and alcohol-dependence disorders as an alternative to prison. Familiarity with such programs and law-enforcement experience are preferred but not mandatory.

We are looking for a reliable, professional person to assist MDC staff in case-management and to provide security during weekly hearings, drug testing and in-home checks of participants. This employee also will act as the primary liaison to circuit law enforcement agencies and will hold at least a Class 3 certification from the S.C. Law Enforcement Academy. Candidates who already hold this certification are preferred, but we will procure training for a candidate who lacks this credential if they have other strong qualifications. Case-management will likely constitute most of the candidate’s duties, however, and will include facilitating participant referrals for services such as vocational rehabilitation, continuing education and health care. Will also participate in collection of daily drug-screening samples. Occasional weekend work could be included, but hours for this salaried position will be limited to about 40 per week.

Work will take employee to various offices across the 14th Circuit, so candidates must have a valid South Carolina drivers’ license and reliable transportation. A clean criminal history also required.
