minimum qualifications of the title for which they apply. At this

appointments. In May 2024, if a temporary NY HELPS employee is
satisfactorily performing in the position, the appointment will be
changed from temporary pending Civil Service Commission Action to
permanent non-competitive and the official probationary period will
begin.
At a future date (within one year of permanent appointment), it is
expected employees hired under NY HELPS will have their
non-competitive employment status converted to competitive status,
without having to compete in an examination. Employees will then be
afforded with all of the same rights and privileges of competitive
class employees of New York State. While serving permanently in a
NY HELPS title, employees may take part in any promotion
examination for which they are qualified.Your actual duties may
vary depending on the setting to which you are assigned, including
secure, limited secure or non-secure residential centers, community
residential homes, community foster care, intake services units,
evening reporting centers, aftercare teams in the community and day
placement programs.
Please specify in your cover letter and/or resume how you meet the
minimum qualifications (as described above) when responding to this
posting. For example, you should provide specific date ranges for
qualifying experience, qualifying education or certifications, or
the age range of individuals served. Non-specific submissions may
be disqualified from further consideration if the information you
provide does not meet the minimum qualifications.

Criminal Background Check (CBC), which includes State and federal
