The State of Connecticut Office of Early Childhood is recruiting for three (3) Processing Technician positions located at 450 Columbus Blvd., Hartford. The hours are 8:00am - 4:30pm, Monday - Friday. The Office of Early Childhood (OEC) is a unique state agency in Connecticut that helps families with young children achieve better life outcomes. A new state agency, OEC is called on in its enabling statute to be data-driven, human-centered, and result-focused. We touch the lives of over 200,000 young children, parents, and caregivers annually through our integrated focus on early care and education programs and safety supports, our home visiting programs, and other critical early childhood services. By scale of funding, OEC is one of the largest departments of Connecticut state government, deploying and leveraging approximately half a billion dollars each year in service of vulnerable families and communities. Connecticut is a leader in the nation. Whereas early childhood programming in most states is fragmented across multiple programs which families must navigate, only a handful of states have created agencies dedicated to integrating the supports families with young children require – and only Connecticut’s has a clear data-driven mandate. New parenthood and early childhood are extremely important moments in a person’s life and nurturing or harmful experiences during this time can have significant and long lasting impacts. OEC acts on the overwhelming evidence that intervention early in life is the most promising way to break the cycle of poverty. Your work here will have an impact on the economic security, health, safety, and resilience of families with young children. You will help make childcare safer, more accessible and of higher quality; you will provide families with the support they need to help prevent child abuse, neglect, and trauma; you will help families gain greater economic stability; you will support families with young children who have developmental delays. This position will play a critical role in the development of this new agency, showing that a family-centered, data-smart approach to service delivery drives measurable better results for children. We are expanding our ability to screen the childcare workforce to ensure that licensed child care providers and those receiving state funds are held to high safety and background check standards. This position will be among a new suite of positions focused on enhancing the safety oversight of the child care programs in CT as part of the legal office.
Responsibilities of these Processing Technician positions include processing initial and renewal applications for child care provider background checks, responding to written, electronic and telephonic inquiries pertaining to background checks, effective utilization of regulatory databases, and processing of child care subsidy hearing requests. In this role, you will serve as a key member checking the backgrounds of potential child care providers, giving peace of mind to parents who rely on the state to verify the safety of child care. The ideal candidate will demonstrate proficiency in written and spoken professional English and Spanish.
