Job Description
The County of Monterey (County) is a diverse community set in a picturesque coastal location and offers tourists and residents alike the comfort of a moderate Mediterranean climate, miles of beautiful beaches, spectacular mountain ranges, groves of redwoods, low-rolling foothills, and scenic valleys. Boasting such world-renowned attractions as the spectacular Big Sur Coast, Laguna Seca Raceway, 17-Mile Drive, Monterey Bay Aquarium, Cannery Row, the Steinbeck Center, the Monterey Jazz and Blues Festivals and Pebble Beach – possibly the world’s most famous golf course, it’s easy to see why over 450,000 residents choose to live here and an estimated four million visitors a year make the County their destination of choice.
The Assistant Director of the Department of Social Services functions as the assistant department head for the Department of Social Services with broad authority to act on behalf of the Director of Social Services on all department matters including those related to administrative services and programs within the Social Services Department such as public assistance, employment services, and adult and children’s services. The incumbent assists the Director in ensuring that all department administrative and programmatic activities comply with applicable laws and regulations as well as the policies established by the County Administrative Officer and Board of Supervisors. The County is seeking a collaborative, flexible, and knowledgeable leader to serve as the next Assistant Director of the Department of Social Services. The ideal candidate is knowledgeable about principles and practices of social welfare and integrated social services policy and administration, including current trends in service delivery planning, policy, management, service assessment, program evaluation, and related issues. The new Assistant Director should be a receptive, proactive listener and communicator. Candidates who possess experience in family and children’s services programs and who understand finance (funding streams and budgeting) are highly desired.
The annual salary range for the Assistant Director of Social Services is $149,436 - $204,108; placement within this range is dependent on qualifications and experience.
