Incumbents are assigned to local offices and perform their duties with significant independence under the general supervision of a Public Health Nurse III or the District Director. All employees of the Agency of Human Services perform their respective functions adhering to four key practices: customer service,! holistic service, strengths-based relationships and results orientation.
