DESCRIPTION HEALTH CARE SERVICES AGENCY Alameda County's Health Services Program is administered by the Health Care Services Agency and includes the following program areas: Behavioral Health Care Services, Public Health, Environmental Health Services, and Office of the Agency Director. The ultimate mission of the Health Care Services Agency is to provide fully integrated health care services through a comprehensive network of public and private partnerships that ensure optimal health and well-being and respect the diversity of all residents. PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT Alameda County Public Health Department has worked for over 80 years to improve the health and safety of its residents and the neighborhoods they live in. Traditional public health concerns such as disease outbreaks, environmental hazards and access to health care have been joined by contemporary concerns: bioterrorism, crime, violence, and substance abuse. Each of these poses a threat to public health and wellness and calls for short and long-term solutions that lie well outside traditional public health boundaries. For more information about our Alameda County Public Health Department, please visit the Alameda County Public Health Department Website and latest Annual Budget document found on www.acgov.org THE POSITION Registered Nurse IIIs act as lead nurses, assist in providing direction, consultation, coordination and review of the work of professional nursing, and para-professional staff on an assigned team; precept nursing students; plan, implement, monitor and evaluate the delivery of nursing care services to individuals and communities; assist in the management of a program/project; and perform related duties as required. THE VACANCIES The current vacancies for this position are located in the following programs of the Public Health Department; Adult Protective Services, Nurse Family Partnership, Nursing Administration, and Tuberculosis Control (TB). However, the eligible list resulting from this recruitment may be used to fill future vacancies in other program areas. SPECIAL REQUIREMENT: In addition to meeting the minimum qualifications below, these positions require possession of a current and valid California Public Health Nursing (PHN) certificate issued by the California Board of Registered Nursing. ALAMEDA COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH NURSES Public Health Nurses (PHNs) work as part of multidisciplinary teams and are embedded inside well-funded comprehensive programs to ensure that our diverse, low-income, multi-stressed individuals, families, and communities are served in holistic ways. PHNs work in multiple programs/units as case managers, community engagement specialists, consultants, coordinators, educators, health screeners, inspectors, investigators, and vaccinators, in the areas of Children's Medical Services, Central Referral and Intake, Chronic Disease, Communicable Disease, Community Engagement, Immunization Assistance, Correctional Health, Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health, Nurse Education, Nurse Recruitment, Occupational Health, Older Adults and Public Health Emergency Preparedness and Response. The Public Health Department maintains a Memorandum of Understanding with the Alameda County Social Services Agency for the provision of PH Nursing services to clients in the Departments of Adult and Aging Services (Adult Protective Services, Public Conservator, Public Guardian, and In-Home Supportive Services) and Children and Family Services (Foster Care Assessment Center and the Medically Fragile and Services to Enhance Early Development Units). Descriptions of some of these program/units are specifically highlighted below: PROGRAM OVERVIEW Adult Protective Services (APS) PHNs provide nursing case management services to clients with complicated chronic medical conditions. These conditions often render the client vulnerable to ongoing abuse and neglect and at risk for additional medical emergencies, further traumatizing clients and creating cycles of recidivism.
