To apply for positions at OHA,
applicants must complete and submit an online application by the date indicated. Application deadlines are included on job announcements listed under the "Current Job Openings" tab on the main Human Resources webpage. A current,
detailed resume may also be attached to applications, but will not be accepted in lieu of a completed
employment application.
All applications and resumes will be
carefully screened. Those applicants
whose education and experience most closely match the requirements of the
position will be invited to compete in the examination process. Candidates who compete successfully in the
examination will have their names placed on a List of Qualifiers (LOQ). For
some positions, an experience/training rating and/or written evaluation of
candidates will be used in lieu of the oral panel examination. The names of the
highest-ranking candidates will be placed on the LOQ. The hiring department may
contact candidates from the LOQ and final selection will be made from the list.
College degrees or units required
for the position will be verified prior to final appointment. If this information cannot be verified for a
candidate, the candidate's name will be removed from the LOQ. All appointments are subject to the approval
of the Executive Director.
All prospective employees must pass
a physical examination and drug screening by an Authority-designated physician. A pre-employment criminal history background
check will also be conducted for all positions.
For positions requiring use of an
Authority vehicle, each candidate must possess a valid California Class C
driver's license and a driving record acceptable to the Authority's insurer. Candidates'
driving records will be checked prior to appointment.
All prospective employees must also
provide proof of U.S. citizenship, or legal resident status and the legal right
to work in the United States.
New employees must successfully pass
a probationary period prior to obtaining full-time permanent status.
Union dues and initiation fees or
service fees equal to the amount of monthly union dues are required at time of
appointment for employees who are in positions represented by a collective
bargaining unit.
