More about us:
This position is part of the
Early Learning Division
– a Division that prides itself on enabling Oregon's young children and families to learn and thrive. The Division is responsible for overseeing the state’s Head Start, Pre-Kindergarten, and Relief Nurseries programs, among others; and licensing Oregon’s child care providers.
Considering a career with us means that you value dedication, integrity, and collective wisdom and that you are eager to employ values rooted in equity to benefit Oregon’s children and families. The Division also values diversity and supports a positive and welcoming environment where all of our employees can thrive. As our state, counties, and cities become more diverse, it is imperative now more than ever that the Division focuses on evolving practices to achieve increased equity, diversity, and inclusion in all of our offices. As always, our goal is to lead with courage externally and internally. This means challenging ourselves to do things differently and refining current practices that ensure we continue to make strides towards equity.
What you will do:
While we work on transitioning to a new, standalone agency, in addition to transferring all of the programs and administrative functions currently under the authority of the Early Learning Division (ELD) to DELC, the administration of the Employment Related Day Care program (ERDC) will transfer from the Oregon Department Human Services to the new agency on the same date. All rule-making authority for DELC will remain with the Early Learning Council. To ensure a smooth transition to and successful launch of DELC, all necessary administrative rules for the operation of DELC, the programs administered by DELC and for the migration of ERDC must be fully solidified prior to July 1, 2023. The purpose of this position is to ensure the establishment of these rules by July 1, 2023 is completed successfully. This position will lead all phases of this work. This includes identifying rules needed to stand up DELC as an independent agency, developing a new ERDC DELC rule-set and reviewing and revising current ELD rules that will transfer to DELC. In addition to conducting analysis of current rule-set, the DELC Rules Migration Coordinator will identify policy areas for leadership review, draft rule language, lead and execute partner engagement on proposed rule-language, and brief the Early Learning Council on proposed rules.
This position has a great deal of freedom in managing one’s workload, collaborating with others, and determining the best strategies to complete projects. While this position works with a fair amount of independence, you have a supportive team and supervisor to provide direction and assistance as needed.
