Staff Analyst (Finance)

Salary: $6,806.73-$9,820.80 Monthly

SUMMARY

The Los Angeles County Department of Health Harm Reduction Division is seeking a Finance Staff Analyst to support the work of Harm Reduction Division which manages harm reduction programs aimed at improving health and well-being of Los Angeles residents with lived experience of substance use, sex work, justice system engagement and those experiencing homelessness.  

Harm Reduction services play a critical role in the health and wellness of DHS patients and the people served by DHS programs. Harm Reduction services are evidence-based, population health interventions and are the best method of preventing overdose deaths and reducing the transmission of HIV/ AIDS and Hepatitis C. Harm Reduction services get overdose medication and safer drug consumption supplies into the hands of people who need them. In addition to saving lives, addressing health equity, and improving health and wellness, the services also build on the dignity and humanity of people who use drugs or are engaged in sex work and welcome them into a community of care. 

The Finance Staff Analyst will support three new Harm Reduction Health Hubs invoicing and data management needs. 

The Harm Reduction Division coordinates the Department of Health Services’ existing harm reduction efforts and leads an expansion of services. The services help address the overdose mortality crisis and reduce physical and behavioral health disparities among DHS patients, particularly for people who use drugs, people engaged in sex work, people with justice system involvement and people experiencing homelessness.
