Additional Comments

  • NY HELPS
This title is part of the New York Hiring for Emergency Limited Placement Statewide Program (NY HELPS). HELPS Program titles may be filled via a noncompetitive appointment.

This means that you do not need to take an exam to qualify, but you do need to meet the minimum qualifications of the title.

If you are hired under the HELPS Program, you will be first be appointed as a temporary employee.

In May 2024, if you are performing successfully in the position, your appointment will be changed from temporary to permanent non-competitive.

Once you are in permanent status, your official probationary period will begin and you may take any promotion exam for which you are qualified.

At a future date (within one year of permanent appointment), employees hired under NY HELPS are expected to have their permanent non-competitive employment status converted to permanent competitive status.

You will not have to take an exam to gain permanent competitive status.
