The people who work for the Department of Social Services (DSS) bring our services to life; these dedicated individuals are our most important asset. The Department’s Human Resources Branch is responsible for coordinating activities related to employment with the Department. This includes: recruiting and hiring new talent into the Department; making sure payroll and benefits are delivered, coordinating employee relations, and overseeing the Department’s Civil Rights program.
The Department of Social Services is an equal opportunity employer and relies on HR to reach out to our diverse community in recruiting new employees. Under Federal law, the Department’s hiring practice is managed in partnership with the State Personnel Board under the aegis of Merit Systems Services.
Contact Human Resources if you are interested in a career helping support our community. The types of jobs include helping people find work, keeping children and vulnerable adults safe, providing low-income families with health insurance, nutrition assistance, and temporary cash aid, assisting the independence of people with disabilities, and making sure veteran’s are able to access earned benefits.
