The Ideal Candidate
Are you looking for meaningful work helping others in your community?

Once you are an approved IHSS provider, you may apply to be a Registry provider. If you meet registry requirements, your name will be put on a list of eligible providers. If a client contacts the Registry in search of a provider, the Public Authority will provide the client a list of eligible registry providers who are available for more IHSS hours. The IHSS recipients are responsible for hiring, supervising, and terminating the provider they choose. The Caregiver Registry does not guarantee employment.

The County is the primary contributor to the pension fund, but the health of the pension fund also depends on mandatory employee contributions. Employees are required to pay a percentage of their base pay towards the pension fund, ranging from 5% to 19%. This amount is deducted from your paycheck pre-tax every pay period. To find out how much will be deducted from your paycheck should you be hired for this position, please contact Pension Trust at (805) 781-5465.
Healthcare Benefits and Cafeteria Contributions:
The County offers comprehensive medical coverage to you and your family, along with two dental plan options and vision coverage. All permanent employees receive a monthly employer contribution (or 'cafeteria' contribution) to help them pay for their portion of the medical, dental, and vision insurance premiums. The amount of the cafeteria contribution varies by Bargaining Unit (BU) and the extent to which employees enroll their dependents. If the cafeteria amount is greater than your selected premiums, the remainder of the cafeteria is paid out to you in your paycheck as taxable income. If the cafeteria amount is less than your monthly premiums, you pay the remainder of the premiums with pre-tax wages.
