Job Description and Duties
The California Department of Rehabilitation (DOR) is seeking an enthusiastic and qualified individual to serve as the Deputy Director, Vocational Rehabilitation Employment Division (VRED). The VRED Deputy Director is a CEA B because the Deputy Director is responsible for extensive managerial and program administration and or substantially participates in the formulation, operation and evaluation of program policies.
Under the general direction of the Chief Deputy Director, the VRED Deputy Director leads over 1300 managers and staff including a CEA A (Assistant Deputy Director) and thirteen managers overseeing regional offices. The VRED provides direct services to Californians with disabilities who are unemployed or under-employed ("consumers"), which include students as young as age fourteen, and serves California businesses in meeting their talent needs. The Deputy Director must understand consumers' needs as well as the business demands, including the strategies developed in collaboration with the California State Workforce Development Board. The VRED Deputy works closely with the Deputy Director for Specialized Services, the Deputy Director for Vocational Rehabilitation Policy and Resources Division, advisory bodies, local education agencies, and other state departments to maximize the potential of the people served to become employed and to meet California business needs.
The Deputy Director is a member of DOR's executive leadership team along with the Director, Chief Deputy Director, other Deputy Directors and Chief Counsel and has a key role in planning, including the development of the vocational rehabilitation program portion of the Unified State Plan (https://cwdb.ca.gov/plans_policies/WIOA_Unified_Strategic_Workforce_Development_Plan<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcwdb.ca.gov%2Fplans_policies%2FWIOA_Unified_Strategic_Workforce_Development_Plan&data=02%7C01%7Cdavid.b.andrews%40state.mn.us%7Cf92c22553b414e1015bf08d6a09e5da7%7Ceb14b04624c445198f26b89c2159828c%7C0%7C0%7C636872999410592651&sdata=dhThivUo%2B5lJeS7xeGeQPxug3%2FqbsPrHxlBP6rrGHoY%3D&reserved=0>). The executive leadership team works together for continuous improvement and to meet the changing needs of the People of the State of California.
The ideal candidate's current staff and managers would describe the candidate as having excellent communication skills, as managing change well, being collaborative, responsive, innovative, inspirational, and open to different opinions and cultures. The ideal candidate has a history of critically examining practices and policies, team building, identifying new ways of conducting business through outreach to staff and stakeholders, including advisory bodies, and maximizes limited resources. The ideal candidate will develop innovative strategies to support Student Services, Competitive Integrated Employment, succession planning, and the Department's Diversity goals. The ideal candidate recognizes that processes, while valuable for efficiency, transparency and accountability, must support sound public policy by allowing flexibility and judgement.
Travel is required in order to build and maintain relationships with DOR staff, including managers, within the division as well as with community partners including business owners, non-profit organizations and local education agencies and the California Workforce Development Board.
