Who We Are

The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) supports Ohioans and their families through the following programs:

• Cash and Food Assistance
• Employment Services and Workforce Development
• Unemployment Insurance
• Adult Protective Services
• Child Support

Public service is an honorable way to serve the community in a hands‑on dedicated way. You can make a difference in someone’s world!

Guiding Principles

• We will be a leader in customer satisfaction.
• We will have a reputation that attracts and retains talented, diverse, and dedicated employees.
• We get better at what we do every day.

The Office of Employee and Business Services (OEBS) provides customer service and operational support to ODJFS through five bureaus:
Business Services, Civil Rights and Labor Relations, Human Resources, Multimedia Services, and Training and Educational Services. OEBS customers include all ODJFS employees, clients, service providers, county agencies, and the public. Learn more about the office by visiting the ODJFS OEBS webpage.

This position is responsible for keeping the ODJFS buildings and grounds safe and secure. This involves patrolling, both on foot and by car, to check for things like fires, damage, theft, broken equipment, and leaks, and making sure doors are locked or unlocked as needed. You will need to report any safety violations or unusual incidents, and sometimes help investigate complaints, injuries, accidents, or thefts.

You will also monitor the electronic security for all ODJFS offices statewide, and be prepared to assist in medical emergencies, which could mean giving first aid or CPR. Keeping an eye on who’s coming and going, or monitoring security alarms, will be a regular part of the job.

You will investigate safety and security violations, report any broken equipment, take away prohibited items, and issue warnings for safety rules. Keeping accurate records of your checks, visitor logs, and equipment issues is important. You might also attend training, use a computer for reports, and maintain files. If you’re assigned to handle first aid, CPR, or use an AED, you will need to get certified within your first few months and keep those certifications current.
