Employees appointed to temporary positions may also gain membership in the civil service upon satisfactory completion of an initial probation period of at least six months. Once you become a member of the civil service, you become eligible to apply for promotion and transfer opportunities to permanent as well as other temporary positions. You may also enjoy other rights and benefits afforded to an employee in a permanent position with the exception of return rights and placement rights associated with a reduction-in-force.

A continuous recruitment may be closed at any time. The notice of the last day to file applications will be posted on the State of Hawaii's Civil Service Job Opportunities Listing page of our website.

This is the entry level in this class. Positions in this class receive training in the basic principles, methods and techniques of professional human services work and orientation to the specific work organization and its functions, objectives, policies and procedures. Cases are assigned concurrently with orientation and training. Cases may initially be fewer in number than those assigned to more experienced workers and, as far as can be anticipated, will be those with problems which are limited in scope and complexity or may require only short term intervention.

Cases are selected to develop the employee for progression to a higher level of work. Supervision is close and immediate, and work assignments are closely and critically reviewed for compliance with instructions and application of approved practices and to assure potential for further training and development.
