THE POSITION
With supervisor approval, incumbents may be eligible for intermittent remote work; however, they must physically reside within the Sacramento region or have the ability to regularly report to a City of Sacramento physical worksite with little notice.
The City of Sacramento Fire Department is excited to announce an opportunity within its Professional Standards Unit (PSU). This role involves highly analytical and technical work supporting the administrative management of grievances, discipline documentation and tracking, and adherence to the Firefighter Bill of Rights. The position plays a vital role in fostering strong relationships with key partners, including City Human Resources, the Office of Public Safety Administration, the Firefighter Union, and various state and federal agencies.
IDEAL CANDIDATE STATEMENT
The ideal candidate will have exceptional attention to detail and the ability to manage strict deadlines while effectively prioritizing time-sensitive and highly confidential tasks. They will be adaptable, able to pivot with shifting priorities, and skilled in research, technical writing, and interpreting statutes, regulations, policies, and procedures in Labor Relations.
The ideal candidate will provide administrative support by tracking and maintaining records of written discipline, preparing Skelly packets, and coordinating and supporting the processing of internal and external complaints or concerns.
