About the Opportunity ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT The Stanislaus County Public Defender's Office fights mass incarceration by providing zealous representation to low-income people facing criminal charges. The Public Defender seeks to serve the whole client, addressing needs that contribute to criminal legal involvement or that arise from contact with the legal system. The office is client-centered in its representation, recognizing that all clients deserve autonomy, dignity, and respect throughout their experience with the justice system.

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE The ideal candidate is passionate about social justice, civil rights, or public service and have demonstrated that through your educational, employment or volunteer choices.

The ideal candidate is also a creative problem-solver, who will tenaciously seek out innovative and efficient solutions to the obstacles that clients face moving through the criminal justice system. You are emotionally resilient, with developed strategies that allow you to witness harm and come back motivated to fight the next day. Finally, the ideal candidate works effectively as part of an interdisciplinary team within the Public Defender’s Office and with other various agencies, county staff and the public.

ABOUT THE POSITION As a Client Support Specialist I/II, you will directly support public defender clients to help keep them out of jail and connect them with supportive community services.

Your role will include working with attorneys and clients to assess client needs, develop service plans, and make referrals to appropriate community resources to meet clients’ social service or civil legal needs.

Client Support Specialists become experts in the services and other resources available to the Stanislaus County community, researching and building relationships with referral partners. Client Support Specialists also assist clients and their families by explaining the court process and developing post-release plans. Finally, you may assist attorneys by gathering information about a client’s life history, current goals, and services they are accessing. This information is presented informally or in a written report to prosecutors or the court to obtain a better criminal case outcome for clients.

About the Opportunity ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT The Stanislaus County Public Defender's Office fights mass incarceration by providing zealous representation to low-income people facing criminal charges. The Public Defender seeks to serve the whole client, addressing needs that contribute to criminal legal involvement or that arise from contact with the legal system. The office is client-centered in its representation, recognizing that all clients deserve autonomy, dignity, and respect throughout their experience with the justice system.

To learn more about the Office of the Public Defender, click here. Click here for details. THE IDEAL CANDIDATE The ideal candidate is passionate about social justice, civil rights, or public service and have demonstrated that through your educational, employment or volunteer choices. You are committed to working alongside people who are marginalized, knowing that everyone in the criminal justice system can move forward and deserves support. The ideal candidate is also a creative problem-solver, who will tenaciously seek out innovative and efficient solutions to the obstacles that clients face moving through the criminal justice system. You are emotionally resilient, with developed strategies that allow you to witness harm and come back motivated to fight the next day. Finally, the ideal candidate works effectively as part of an interdisciplinary team within the Public Defender’s Office and with other various agencies, county staff and the public. The Public Defender’s Office values lived experiences that overlap with our clients and allow Client Support Specialists to better build trust and rapport with our served community. We urge people who have been personally impacted by the criminal legal system or share other lived experiences with public defender clients to apply. ABOUT THE POSITION As a Client Support Specialist I/II, you will directly support public defender clients to help keep them out of jail and connect them with supportive community services. You will also work to prevent the non-criminal consequences of arrest that can impact clients’ housing, employment, public benefits, and many other areas of their lives. Your role will include working with attorneys and clients to assess client needs, develop service plans, and make referrals to appropriate community resources to meet clients’ social service or civil legal needs. Beyond simply making a referral, you will take the extra step to ensure your clients can access services, reducing barriers that may stand in their way. Client Support Specialists become experts in the services and other resources available to the Stanislaus County community, researching and building relationships with referral partners. Client Support Specialists also assist clients and their families by explaining the court process and developing post-release plans. Finally, you may assist attorneys by gathering information about a client’s life history, current goals, and services they are accessing. This information is presented informally or in a written report to prosecutors or the court to obtain a better criminal case outcome for clients. The Client Support Specialist II differs from the Client Support Specialist I in that people in the Client Support Specialist II role will focus on supporting clients who suffer from substance use and/or mental health disorders. The Client Support Specialist I/II position will work in a grant funded position until December 31, 2026.
