About The Position
Odyssey House is seeking a Part-Time Correction Counselor! You can make a difference in people’s lives and our community! Odyssey House, a 501(c)3 non-profit, is recognized as the best mental health and addiction treatment center in Utah. If you want to expand your experience in the criminal justice, social work, and addiction field, we can help! We provide opportunities to learn and start a career with flexible schedules to accommodate school and family life. This role is critical to the client and the organization. Odyssey is a large and growing agency, and we are BIG on promoting from within. It is common for people who start here to get promoted to leadership roles. So come work with the people in our care; it is deeply rewarding! Our goal with the Criminal Justice Program (CJP) is to create a structure for inmates while incarcerated and have wrap-around community support lined up before their release. Services are FREE to inmates and not an additional financial burden to them or their families. CJP includes Correctional Addictions Treatment Service (CATS), Interim Drug Offender Group Services (DOGS), and Prime for Life®. These services are highly successful! For example, in 2019, Salt Lake County conducted a recidivism study on our CATS program and found a 76% reduction in new-charge bookings one-year post CATS, a 90% reduction two years post CATS, and a 99% reduction three years post CATS. Salt Lake County also found an 83% improvement in employment status and a 46% reduction in homelessness.
