In this newly created position, you will have the opportunity to lead the division further towards realizing its vision, to strengthen King County’s Safety Net Services and Partnership to deliver equitable and responsive health care for our most vulnerable populations. King County government declared that racism is a public health crisis – this position is in alignment with the County’s policy of being anti-racist and seeking to transform programming and service delivery that has historically harmed, neglected or excluded Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC).

This leader’s work will accelerate and improve the quality of Community Health Division’s efforts both in becoming a more equitable, racially diverse, inclusive work environment and ensuring services delivered meet communities’ needs. You will plan, coordinate, and lead many pieces of work in relationship with front line staff, community liaisons, and division/department leadership. You will also actively work to build the capacity of leaders and supervisors to create conditions for a healthy and thriving workplace free of discrimination.

Together, we’re changing the way government delivers service and winning national recognition as a model of excellence.

With this commitment, King County has adopted a pro-equity agenda aimed at advancing regional change and is developing the systems and standards necessary to achieve better outcomes for all of our residents, regardless of their race or income. All of these qualities make King County one of the nation’s best places to live, work, and play.
