The Office of Colorado’s Child Protection Ombudsman (CPO) was established in 2010 to improve the child protection system by serving as a resource to citizens, employing a complaint process for citizens to voice their concerns about child protective services and by making recommendations to the Governor’s Office, Colorado State Legislature and other stakeholders for system improvements.
The CPO is housed within the Colorado Judicial Department and is independent from other agencies within the child protection system.
40 Hour Per Week / Full-time Contract Position (January-June 30, 2023)
POSITION OVERVIEW
This is a new position for the CPO. The agency currently has 10.5 employees with diverse backgrounds and experience. The CPO is not part of the Colorado government personnel system. Rather, the CPO is an independent agency that is governed by its own personnel rules. These rules comply with applicable provisions of state and federal employment laws. The CPO reviews and updates its personnel rules annually. All CPO employees serve as ‘at will’ employees at the pleasure of the Ombudsman.

However, the CPO now requires an internal human resources professional who can create, lead and direct the agency’s human resources management (HR) program. The CPO will continue to rely on the Department’s payroll and leave management systems. This position will serve as a liaison between the CPO and the Department, while supporting the CPO’s in-house HR program. A full description of the position’s duties is below.
This position requires a person who is an excellent communicator, meaning they can effectively give oral and written reports, and prepare clear and concise documentation. A team-oriented mindset is crucial for this position, as well as the ability to embrace diversity and build and maintain quality professional relationships. The person who fills this position must be organized, utilize effective time management skills and understand the importance of deadlines. Honesty, reliability and the ability to keep commitments to colleagues and clients are vital aspects of the position.
