Job Description
Job DescriptionHarris County Public Health has created a new program, HART (Holistic Approach Response Team), which is the fourth branch of its first responder system. HART teams are composed of an EMT and a mental health/social worker and respond to community service/social welfare and mental health calls that are non-violent in nature and where there is no criminal involvement. Harris County's goal is to bring a public health approach to these types of calls and provide the most effective community safety response.

This program aims to help improve community health and safety, save law enforcement and emergency services time and resources, and help to reduce racial disparities in the criminal justice system.
*Please note: this is a first responder program that operates 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, including holidays*
*Please note: Candidates must be able to attend our mandatory new hire training academy for four weeks*
