This position will begin in the Department of Human Services (DHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) Legal Counsel’s Office, and it will move to DCYF in the summer of 2025, when other OIG functions move to DCYF.

The incumbent will work with the Deputy Chief Legal Counsel and will be responsible for supervising staff attorneys who focus on program-specific legal services and providing legal advice in a variety of complex and changing areas with CYF-wide implications. The incumbent will also do legal research and provide legal advice on compliance matters with overarching impact on CYF programs and assist in developing legislative initiatives.
