This title is part of the New York Hiring for Emergency Limited Placement Statewide Program (NY HELPS).

For the duration of the NY HELPS Program, this title maybe filled via a non-competitive appointment, which means no examination is required but all candidates must meet the minimum qualifications of the title for which they apply. At this time, agencies may recruit and hire employees by making temporary appointments. In May 2024, if a temporary NY HELPS employee is satisfactorily performing in the position, the appointment will be changed from temporary pending Civil Service Commission Action to permanent non-competitive and the official probationary period will begin.

For the duration of the NY HELPS Program, businesses are eligible for 55b/c designation and are subject to verification of applicant eligibility. Depending on whether the applicant is on a national grant or a municipal grant, the technical area for this position may have to be verified as an "eligible for a minimum of competitive service" and a second step may be needed to verify the role.

Once the applicant is on the national grant, the position may be verified or accepted for further processing. The applicant may need to travel with the national grant if a contract is signed with them.

For the duration of the NY HELPS Program, employees hired under NY HELPS will be converted to competitive status within a year of permanent appointment, without having to compete in an examination. Employees will then be afforded with all of the same rights and privileges of competitive class employees of New York State. While serving permanently in a NY HELPS title, employees may take part in any promotion examination for which they are qualified.

Qualified candidates will demonstrate excellent communication skills, interpersonal skills, knowledge and understanding of patient care and effectively respond to changing patient needs by making decisions based on ethical principles and adhering to our high standard of excellence.
