What are the responsibilities and job description for the Community Case Manager – Newport position at Lund?

This role works directly with children of incarcerated parents and their caregivers, helping families find the resources they need to thrive. The Community Case Manager coordinates and facilitates parent-child visits—sometimes one-on-one, sometimes virtually, and in groups—creating moments of connection that matter deeply for both children and their parents. Inside the Northern State Correctional facility, this role leads engaging programs such as Storybook, Parent Education, and Dad’s Mail, all designed to strengthen parenting skills and nurture relationships.
This is a full-time, benefits-eligible position based in the community and within the Northern State Correctional Facility in Newport, Vermont.

Research shows that individuals from marginalized groups—such as BIPOC, LGBTQ , women, people with disabilities, and those from working-class backgrounds—often hesitate to apply for jobs unless they can see themselves meeting and performing every responsibility and requirement. However, many skills can be learned on the job. If you can see yourself adding value to the role, our clients, staff, and guests and meeting most of the responsibilities and qualifications, we encourage you to apply!
