Dear Job Seeker,
Older New Yorkers are a great resource for our State. They have made tremendous contributions to our social fabric. We want to support them and their families to live their lives with dignity and independence, and we dedicate ourselves to protecting their health, safety and independence.
Our employees are dedicated public servants who have many opportunities for personal and professional growth. We offer a competitive benefit package, including a 37.5 hour work week with flexible schedules, excellent health care, generous leave policies, a superior retirement plan, a deferred compensation program, and more.
If you are looking to start a new career, better balance your personal and professional lives, or simply to serve New York's Senior Citizens, a career at the Office for the Aging might be right for you.
The mission of the New York State Office for the Aging is to help older New Yorkers to be as independent as possible for as long as possible through advocacy, development and delivery of person-centered, consumer-oriented, and cost-effective policies, programs and services which support and empower the elderly and their families, in partnership with the network of public and private organizations which serve them.
We recognize the importance of work life quality and its impact on employee productivity.
Creativity, morale, and commitment improve when work and personal and family lives are balanced. To promote this balance we offer an environment that supports personal and professional growth.
Work life quality initiatives that help build and retain a high-quality work force include:
There are a wide range of benefits provided to employees at reduced or no cost. Some of these include health insurance, dental and prescription drug plans, participation in payroll savings plans, an employee assistance program, leave benefits, retirement benefits, and tuition reimbursement.
