Job Posting

Sni Valley provides employees/members an opportunity to indicate their interest in open positions and advance within the organization according to their skills and experience. In general, notices of all regular, full-time job openings are posted, although Sni Valley reserves its discretionary right to not post a particular opening.

Job openings will be posted on the bulletin board and normally remain open for 5 days. Each job posting notice will include the dates of the posting period, job title, essential duties, and qualifications (required skills and abilities).

To be eligible to apply for a posted job, employees must meet all of the criteria set forth in the District's Career Development Program for the posted position. Employees who have a written warning on file, or are on probation or suspension are not eligible to apply for posted jobs. Eligible employees can only apply for those posted jobs for which they possess the required skills, competencies, and qualifications.

To apply for an open position, employees should submit a job posting application to the Fire Chief listing job-related skills and accomplishments. It should also describe how their current experience with Sni Valley and prior work experience and/or education qualifies them for the position.

Sni Valley recognizes the benefit of developmental experiences and encourages employees to talk with their supervisors about their career plans. Supervisors are encouraged to support employees' efforts to gain experience and advance within the organization.

An applicant's supervisor may be contacted to verify performance, skills, and attendance. Any staffing limitations or other circumstances that might affect a prospective transfer may also be discussed.

Volunteer members must meet all of the criteria set forth for any District entry level position.

Job posting is a way to inform employees/members of openings and to identify qualified and interested applicants who might not otherwise be known to the Fire Chief. Other recruiting sources may also be used to fill open positions in the best interest of the organization.
