In addition, the posirion oversees the efforts of severai people who are funded by non-profit agencies but who are housed in Public Health and who work on closely related programs under the supervision of this position.

Foley October 30, 2000 Kay Wittgenstein (Incuxnbent) Diane Holmgren (Supervisor) APPROVED BY HIJMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT ON November 6, 2000 Back�round The class specification was reviewed several years ago but this was a routine review and update rather than a major study. The incumbent believes that the position deserves a further study and completed a job profile form. The profile is submitted with the approval of Public Health management. Study Components Interview with the incumbent Interview with the supervisar Comparison to class specifications Comparison with other job studies QES Evaluation and Analysis Position Description The position is a professional social worker and specializes in dealing with the homeless. As a result of dealing with this population it also is involved heavily in dealing with people who are using illegal drugs or dealing in illegal drugs. In addition, the posirion oversees the efforts of severai people who are funded by non-profit agencies but who are housed in Public Health and who work on closely related programs under the supervision of this position. Comparison to Class Specifications The duties and responsibilities that are currently assigned to this class were compared to the o�• 5} duties and responsibilities in the existing class specifications and to other titles in Public Health (notably the nursing posirions) and to positions such as Police Officer, Environmental Health positions, and Aniuial Control. The duties and responsibilities actually assigned to the position were not adequately described in the existing class specification. Specifically, the position in question is now exposed to significant personal danger from drug addicts and dealers and it has acquired significant program management responsibility as well as responsibility for overseeing the work of a staff. Comnarison to Other Positions None of the existing posirions in Public Health had a similar mix of responsibilities. The review of duries indicated that a new class spec was warranted and that an adjushnent in compensation should be considered. OES Evaluation and Analysis The QES evaluation and analysis justifies assignment of this class to grade 14 in the PEA Bargaining unit. It is currently assigned to PEA grade 10. Recommendation It is recommended that the class specification for the class, "Social Worker" be revised as specified in the attached draft and be compensated at the rate described above.
