Assistant Staff Analyst - Contingency Management Team

Salary Range: $6,107.18-$8,811.00 per month

SUMMARY

The Assistant Staff Analyst, Health (ASA) will serve as the administrative program manager for ODR’s Contingency Management (CM) Program, an evidence-based initiative designed to reduce stimulant use among justice involved individuals participating in one of the Office of Diversion and Reentry’s (ODR) diversion programs.

The Office of Diversion and Reentry (ODR), within the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (DHS), develops and implements programs to divert people with serious mental, physical and/or behavioral health needs away from the LA County Jail and into community-based care.

The CM Program leverages positive reinforcement to promote engagement in treatment and healthy behaviors.
