Job Details

Heluna Health invites applications for the position of Workforce Development Specialist within the Center for Learning and Innovation (CLI), a training and workforce development center of excellence within the Population Health Division at the San Francisco Department of Public Health. CLI is dedicated to fostering a culture of learning, trust, and innovation. It organizes several programs focused on 1) internal training and workforce development; 2) recruitment of the future public health workforce through meaningful internships; 3) catalyzing innovations in public health through human centered design principles; and 4) capacity building for external public health agencies and related stakeholders.

Under the direction of the People Development Manager, this position supports training and capacity building for health department and community-based organization staff through a California Department of Public Health grant-funded project focused on enhancing communicable disease responses, including COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic has reinforced the essential role of the Disease Investigation Specialist who performs case investigation and contact tracing—the workforce development specialist will play a vital role in supporting this growing workforce within the San Francisco Department of Public Health.

The Workforce Development Specialist will work with the staff within CLI and PHD to implement a wide range of in-person and online training approaches including interactive workshops, eLearning courses, webinars, and other training experiences. The Specialist will research training needs, develop and design training, and lead presentations. The Specialist will also facilitate and coach participants to support on-going learning; and collect and analyze training data to report on the effectiveness of learning opportunities.

This is a temporary, grant-funded, full time, benefited position. Employment is provided by Heluna Health.
