DESCRIPTION

This classification specification describes the entry level of the Healthy Homes Community Development Technician flexibly staffed series.

This classification is part of a two-level flexibly staffed classification series of the Healthy Homes Community Development Technician classifications located in the Community Development Agency and reports to the Healthy Homes Manager or Healthy Homes Construction Manager.
