Health and Human Services is Placer County’s largest department, with over 800 staff in six divisions who serve thousands of residents from every corner of the county each day — and we’re growing our communications team to help meet that need.
 
Reporting to the Health and Human Services Communications Manager, this new role will support Spanish-language messaging, strengthen departmentwide community outreach and help make sure people get the information they need, when they need it. You’ll be part of a supportive leadership team that truly values your voice and expertise and encourages professional development. With our services spanning everything from mental health to public assistance programs to animal adoption, we’re looking for someone who’s curious, reflective, and mission-driven to support daily communication needs. 
 
If you’re a strong writer, confident in both English and Spanish, and love helping people feel seen, informed, and connected, please consider applying!

The recruitment for this position will be utilized to fill a current vacancy in the Department of Health and Human Services. This position will be routinely and consistently assigned and will be required to use Spanish as a second language.
