The demonstrated ability to research, interpret, and apply complex federal, state, and county laws, regulations, policies, and legal precedent governing multiple public assistance programs, civil rights requirements, and administrative hearings
Sound professional judgment with the ability to independently evaluate facts, interpret regulations, make legally defensible decisions, negotiate binding settlements, and determine appropriate corrective actions without routine supervisory oversight
Experience conducting comprehensive investigations by gathering and evaluating evidence, interviewing involved parties, identifying root causes, resolving conflicting information, and developing well-supported findings and recommendations
Strong public speaking skills with the ability to effectively develop and/or make presentations
Advanced knowledge of federal and state public assistance laws and regulations, including Medi-Cal, Affordable Care Act (ACA), CalFresh, CalWORKs, In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS), Foster Care, Adoption Assistance, CAPI, Refugee Assistance, Housing Support Programs, and other California Department of Social Services programs
Experience providing technical leadership by directing corrective actions, advising management and staff on regulatory compliance, and promoting consistent application of laws and policies across programs
Experience collaborating with external agencies, including Covered California, the California Department of Social Services State Hearings Division, and other state partners in dual-jurisdiction hearings and interagency case resolution
Excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to deal with distraught clientele
A passion for helping the most vulnerable individuals of our community
Experience with Microsoft Office, including Word, Access, Outlook, and Excel

You should list all employers and positions held within the last ten years in the work history section of your application. Be as thorough as possible when responding to the supplemental questions.
You may include history beyond ten years if related to the position for which you are applying. If you held multiple positions with one employer, list out each position separately.

Please visit Getting a Job with the County of Sonoma to review more detailed information about the hiring process, including the application process, examination steps, and department selection process.

Application submissions require the Supplemental Questionnaire be completed.

Responses to supplemental questions maybe scored using position-specific criteria. Please provide specific and detailed responses of a reasonable length to allow for a thorough assessment of your qualifications. Responses that state, "See Resume" or "See Application" may be considered insufficient and therefore may not be scored.

The selection procedure will consist of the following examination:

An Application and Supplemental Questionnaire Appraisal Examination (weight 100%) will be conducted to evaluate each applicant's application and supplemental questionnaire for satisfaction of minimum qualifications (pass/not pass); and for educational coursework, training, experience, knowledge, and abilities which relate to this position. Personally identifiable information (PII) is removed from the standard application fields and applicable attachments. This PII blind screening practice redacts a candidate’s personal information that could potentially influence or bias the scoring process. Personal information includes the applicant’s name, former last name, address, phone number, email, driver's license number, school name, education start and end dates, age, date of birth, gender, and race. This PII blind screening practice helps contribute to a fair and equitable examination process.

Each applicant will be evaluated based on the following criteria:
Relevance of work history, related experience, and achieved level of education and/or training as described in the application and responses to the supplemental questions.

Candidates demonstrating possession of the minimum qualifications will be placed on an employment list in order of most qualified to least qualified based on the achieved score received in the Application and Supplemental Questionnaire Appraisal Examination which evaluates the education, training, experience, skills, knowledge, abilities, and other qualifications that you demonstrate in your application and/or response to the supplemental questionnaire. Please be aware that resumes and cover letters are not typically evaluated in the Application and Supplemental Questionnaire Appraisal Examination. Scores may be adjusted based on such factors as the number of candidates, anticipated vacancies, past practice, and natural breaks in the scores achieved by this group of candidates.

Additional Information

A background investigation is required prior to employment. Candidates referred to departments for a selection interview are typically required to sign authorization and release forms enabling such an investigation. Failure to sign prescribed forms will result in the candidate not being considered further for that vacancy. Reference information will not be made available to candidates.

Additional requirements, such as successful completion of a physical exam, drug screen, etc., may apply, depending on the duties and responsibilities of the position. If you receive a conditional job offer for the position, the requirements upon which the offer is contingent will be outlined in the conditional job letter. You may also review the Job Classification Screening Schedule to determine the requirements for this position.
