This title is normally filled in the competitive jurisdictional class via appointment from an eligible list resulting from an examination. However, this position may be filled in the non-competitive jurisdictional class under the NY HELPS program. For more information regarding the NY HELPS program, please visit: https://www.cs.ny.gov/help/. At a future date, it is anticipated that employees hired under the NY HELPS program will have their non-competitive employment status converted to competitive status, without having to compete in an examination. You will then be afforded with all the same rights and privileges of competitive class employees of New York State. Like competitive class employees, individuals serving on a permanent non-competitive basis in a NY HELPS title are eligible to participate in any promotion examination for which they are qualified.

This position is part of the NYS HELPS program. No examination is required.
