Workforce Stabilization Program Manager (Project/Program Manager III)

 
King County's Department of Community and Human Services (DCHS) provides equitable opportunities for people to be healthy, happy, and connected to community.

The Adult Services Division (ASD) of DCHS works in partnership with communities to develop, support and provide human services programs focused on achieving results in housing stability, financial stability, healthy living, and social engagements for veterans, service members, and their families; older adults and their caregivers; and other populations who experience vulnerability. The division’s work also includes efforts to strengthen connections within and improve access to the human services system.

ASD manages and provides equity-focused stewardship of revenue from the Veterans, Seniors, and Human Services Levy (VSHSL), the RCW 73.08 veterans assistance fund and King County general fund-funded human services programs. ASD also supports the King County VSHSL Advisory Board and the King County Women’s Advisory Board.

The VSHSL defines resilient communities as persons or communities susceptible to reduce health, housing, financial, or social stability outcomes due to systemic or historical exposure to trauma, violence, poverty, isolation, bias, racism, stigma, discrimination, disability, or chronic illness. Some examples include communities of color; immigrant and refugee communities; persons with disabilities; survivors of domestic violence and other gender-based violence; persons who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, question, intersex or asexual; and survivors of human trafficking. 

Adult Services Division (ASD) seeks a proven leader, effective program manager and subject matter expert on adult human services, particularly around workforce development and stabilization efforts.

This position is responsible for the development and implementation of the Human Services Workforce Stabilization strategy in accordance with the Veterans, Seniors, and Human Services Levy (VSHSL) Implementation Plan.
