Master Correctional Counselor (#MDDP03)
Summary StatementA class incumbent is responsible for advanced level professional counseling work providing rehabilitation services to adult offenders incarcerated in correctional institutions or assigned to Community Corrections.
Nature and ScopeA class incumbent works under the general supervision of a technical or administrative superior. Work at this level is differentiated from the Senior level by the responsibility for developing, implementing, and overseeing a specialized treatment program for inmates requiring intensive counseling (e.g., sex offenses and substance abuse). Work at this level also includes training counseling staff in program operations and treatment methods and providing technical guidance in the area of specialization. In addition to administering a specialized program, incumbents in this class conduct generalized counseling including conducting inmate assessments, developing and implementing treatment plans, and evaluating inmate progress. Incumbents also participate in special studies or projects as assigned. A significant aspect of the work involves dealing with criminally-oriented persons and motivating those persons toward re-socialization.
