The Division of Child Support (DCS) is one of ten divisions that make up the DOJ. The Division administers the Oregon Child Support Program, the federal Title IV-D program in the state. The mission of the Oregon Child Support Program is supporting parents to support children, and the program is an important part of Oregon’s social services system. To achieve its mission, the DOJ Division of Child Support comprises four large sections: Business Services, Technical Services, Field Services, and the Director’s Office. The Division of Child Support has statewide branches throughout Oregon: Pendleton, Medford, Roseburg, Bend, Eugene, Albany, Hillsboro, Oregon City, Gresham, and two sites in Salem, where this position is based in the Director’s Office.

An essential function in this role is maintaining communication and positive partnership with other areas in the program, so that teams can work together to provide families with the services and support they need. This is not only limited to teams within the DOJ Division of Child Support and Oregon Child Support Program but also with other programs in the communities and state of Oregon—and other states as well.
