Human Services Associate Jobs in Nevada (NOW HIRING)

Our CommunityThe Reno-Sparks Indian Colony represents descendants of three Great Basin Indigenous peoples: the Numu (Northern Paiute), Newe (Western Shoshone), and Washeshu (Washoe). These communities lived in harmony with the land for generations before European contact, following seasonal cycles and forming small, efficient social groups for survival.Each group's name means "The People" in their own language, reflecting their deep cultural identity and connection to the Earth. They maintained strong traditions, respected neighboring tribes, and engaged in trade throughout the region.Today, the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony continues to honor these traditions while supporting the well-being, culture, and future of its tribal community.Role OverviewThe Human Services Manager leads RSIC Human Services to ensure programs funded through PL 93-638 contracts and other approved grants meet objectives, compliance requirements, and community needs.
