    Description

    The Project Director will lead the DOC in its implementation of the Medicaid Section 1115 Reentry Demonstration Project. The 1115 reentry waiver initiative is led by the Agency of Human Services Medicaid Policy team, and this position will provide additional capacity to manage DOC's participation including significant operational, technological, and policy system changes both within DOC and impacting DOC.

    Vermont's 1115 reentry waiver will provide Medicaid benefits to sentenced people in correctional facilities beginning 90 days pre-release, building on existing health services with the addition of case management focused on continuity of care through the Vermont Chronic Care Initiative.

Post implementation, the Director will be responsible for leading other strategic efforts within DOC including managing projects, workplans, change management, and stakeholder engagement for priority initiatives.

Preferred qualifications include experience with the administration of public health, healthcare, social services, or reentry policy and programs; experience with federally funded initiatives; experience working with vulnerable communities; and experience with Vermont DOC, AHS, or other state government.
