Summary



The Department of Public Health (DPH) is seeking a skilled Internships and Pathways Analyst -- HR ( Senior HR Analyst ) to help transform our educational pathways and community pipelines to be more effective, efficient, and support equity goals and outcomes. The Senior HR Analyst will work closely with division and section leaders, the HR Leadership Team, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (EIB) Managers, and the talented team of recruiters to set best practices that are in line with DPH's mission and vision and commitment to equity and consistent with the Department of Human Resources overarching guidance.

This position reports to the HR Supervisor who oversees the day-to-day functions of the Recruiting Team.

Background
The Human Resources Section falls under the Administrative Services Division and is responsible for Recruiting and Hiring; Leaves; Leadership Development and Employee Engagement; and Employee and Labor Relations.

Temporary opportunity. Term-Limited Temporary positions are "at-will" positions but are eligible for benefits. This TLT is currently anticipated to last two years, with possibility of extension. However, funding sources for this work remain uncertain and dependent upon decisions actively being made at both the federal and local levels. As a result, the end date of this position may be adjusted based on those decisions. The County and the Department continue to work to secure long term funding sources.

This vacancy can also be filled as a Special Duty opportunity. For Special Duty Assignment interest, you must be a Career Service, Career Service Exempt or other regular (non-temporary) employee in King County who has completed their initial County probation. You must have supervisor approval prior to taking a Special Duty Assignment.

Note: This posting will create a list of qualified candidates that may be considered for selection of additional vacancies of the same position type over the next 6 months.

Commitment To Equity and Social Justice
Named after Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., one of the most influential civil rights leaders in our nation's history, King County is a vibrant international community with residents that represent countries from around the world. It is a region with increasing diversity that cherishes the traditions of many cultures.

The county government has a deep commitment to equity and social justice and advancing practices, strategies, and policies that promote fairness, justice, and opportunity for all - in our workplaces and our communities. With this commitment, King County has adopted a pro-equity agenda to advance regional change and ensure that residents from all communities are incorporated into our emergency planning and public outreach efforts.

We recognize that structural racism consists of principles and practices that cause and justify an inequitable distribution of rights, opportunities, and experiences across racial groups. Since declaring Racism is a Public Health Crisis in June 2020, King County and Public Health committed to being intentionally anti-racist and accountable to Black, Indigenous and People of Color communities.
