Now Hiring: NYC Vaccine for All Corps

From NYC Emergency Management:

In his recent State of the City address, Mayor de Blasio announced the Vaccine for All Corps, an effort to bring good jobs to 2,000 New Yorkers supporting vaccination efforts across the five boroughs. We are excited to announce that hiring for the first of these positions is now live at nyc.gov/vaccinejobs!

Recruitment for Vaccine for All Corps jobs is led by the Workforce1 Career Center System operated by the NYC Department of Small Business Services (SBS), targeting candidates from the communities hit hardest by COVID-19. No healthcare experience is required for many of these positions, which include roles in site management, operations, and client services, in addition to clinical roles. Interested jobseekers should visit nyc.gov/vaccinejobs to fill out an interest form to begin the screening process with SBS Workforce1 staff.
