Job description

OUR COMMITMENT TO A HUMAN HIRING PROCESS

We believe every candidate deserves thoughtful consideration. That's why we do not use AI or automated systems to review applications. Every application is reviewed by a real human member of our team. Because we take the time to give each submission the attention it deserves, our review process may take a little longer — and we genuinely appreciate your patience as we work through applications carefully and respectfully.

SERVICE AREA PREFERENCE

While we encourage all interested applicants to apply, we do give priority to those who live in, or near, our service counties: Santa Cruz, Monterey, Merced, San Benito, and Mariposa. Our mission of accessible, quality health care guided by local innovation leads everything we do, and having team members who are connected to the communities we serve strengthens our ability to deliver on that commitment.

This is a temporary position and the length of assignment is estimated to go until December 31, 2026. The length of the assignment is always dependent on business need and dates may change. While the assignment would be at the Alliance, if selected, you would be an employee of a temporary employment agency that we would connect you with.

    • Master's degree may substitute for two years of the required experience; or an equivalent combination of education and experience may be qualifying
OTHER INFORMATION
  • We are in a hybrid work environment, and we anticipate that the interview process will take place remotely via Microsoft Teams.
  • While some staff may work full telecommuting schedules, attendance at quarterly company-wide events or department meetings will be expected.
  • In-office or in-community presence may be required for some positions and is dependent on business need. Details about this can be reviewed during the interview process.
  • This is a temporary position and does not provide the benefits that are listed below (this is standard language from our regular job posts and cannot be altered or removed). Temporary employees on assignment at the Alliance will be connected to a staffing agency with separate benefit options.
