Human Services Professionals seek to improve the overall quality of life of people within the context of their environment through the remediation and prevention of their problems, and by improving accessibility, accountability and coordination of service delivery among a variety of professionals and/or agencies tasked with providing appropriate services to clients. These professionals come from a variety of interdisciplinary bases, establish working relationships of mutual respect and trust with the clientele served, and utilize a variety of helping interventions to enable these clients to function as effectively as possible.
Child & Adolescent Mental Health Division (CAMHD) - Work with youth clientele with emotional and behavioral health treatment services to clients and families.
Although work settings and clientele may differ, all Human Services Professionals use similar professional concepts, principles and techniques regardless of the program in which they work.
The Human Services Professional VI work within a framework of established departmental policies to plan, direct, and coordinate human services programs where the work is so complex and intense as to require supervision through subordinate supervisors, or may also work in a staff capacity concerned with supervising the development and implementation of new policies and procedures.
Work at this level is performed under general administrative direction, based on current objectives. Work is reviewed for compliance with directives and decisions, and is not usually questioned on a technical basis. Decisions and recommendations are often made under conditions of urgency, and call for the utilization of skilled judgment and recognized professional experience and expertise. Work may also call for the development of new concepts, guides, and methodologies in solving unprecedented problems. Positions are expected to develop and actively participate in community approaches to problems and to serve as a liaison to other pertinent public and private organizations. The following illustrates the types of positions found at this level:
Type A: A supervisor of a work organization which is so large and complex that it requires control and coordination through subordinate supervisors.
Type B: A program or staff specialist responsible for developing, recommending, evaluating, reviewing, and revising policies, procedures, methods, and techniques in one or more broad areas of human services. Such responsibility involves supervising a staff of subordinate program specialists predominantly at the Human Services Professional and/or Social Worker V level.
Note: Some positions may provide services covered under the Felix Consent Decree.Minimum Qualification Requirements

Paid Sick Leave
You may earn sick leave at the same rate as vacation – 21 days per year from the FIRST year, and there is no limit on the amount you can accumulate.
