Multiple-Choice Examination: (Weight: 100%)
Candidates that meet the minimum qualifications will be invited to participate in a multiple choice exam that is designed to measure the knowledge, skills, and abilities in job related areas which may include but not be limited to:
* Ability to: work effectively in diverse, multicultural environments by understanding the ethnic, economic, and social factors affecting communities; providing trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and equitable care; and addressing barriers that impact marginalized populations; establish and maintain effective and cooperative working relationships; coordinate services and schedule appointments; and prepare, organize and maintain records; implement activities and programs; assess client needs through interviews and evaluations and apply sound judgment to develop appropriate services or treatment plans; interpret and apply office policies, laws, regulations and procedures; read and review information such as forms and documents; apply de-escalation or counseling techniques in sensitive or high stress situations; train individuals, evaluate work performance, and provide constructive feedback; lead, motivate, and supervise staff and other support staff; work with patients/clients with substance use disorders and behavioral health needs; orally communicate effectively, professionally, and courteously with others in a clear and understandable manner; communicate written information in a clear, concise, and understandable manner; and/or utilize technology and work with data using various software and systems.
* Knowledge of: principles of activity therapy; and/or health and community services.
Candidates must achieve a passing score on the multiple choice exam in order to continue in the selection process and will be placed on the confidential eligible list in rank order according to their final score.
Additional selection processes may be conducted by the hiring department prior to making final hiring decisions.
Scores attained on the 2587 Health Worker 3 Assessment will be 'banked' for three years from the test date. Candidates are not required to retest during this period. Applicants who qualify for another job using the same 2587 Health Worker 3 Assessment within one year of the 2587 Health Worker 3 test date will have their score applied to that recruitment automatically. After one year, a candidate can either (a) apply their test score to the other recruitment or (b) retest. Retesting is allowed after one year from the test date only if a candidate applies and is qualified. The retest score becomes the official score for candidates who choose to retest due to its recency.
The use of "banked" scores may change if the assessment is revised significantly in the future. Candidates with "banked" scores would be required to take the revised exam sooner than the three-year period if they apply to a job opportunity using the same revised exam.
For tips and guidance on how to prepare and take multiple choice examinations, you can view the Multiple-Choice Test Preparation Manual
Language Proficiency Exam: For positions requiring bilingual fluency, candidates deemed qualified who meet the special language condition must pass a departmentally approved language proficiency exam prior to appointment.
