San Mateo County Health's Public Health Policy & Planning (PHPP) Division has an exciting opportunity for an experienced Veterinarian to work in Animal Control and Licensing as a member of the team.
 
The current vacancy is extra help part time 20-hours per week in the Public Health, Policy and Planning Division. The position is stationed in San Mateo, CA, but will travel/drive throughout the County to perform duties of the position.

Technical expertise, as well as knowledge of veterinary public health practices, are preferred.
 
San Mateo County is unique in that most of our homeless shelters allow residents to bring their pets with them, not just an emotional support or service animal. One of the barriers for homeless people to get into a shelter with their pets is that their pet must be current on their vaccinations. Within 10 days of a new resident moving into a shelter with a pet, the County veterinarian will meet with the owner and their pet to provide a general exam, the necessary vaccinations and flea control. This position will visit various sites throughout the County on a regular basis, providing vaccines, flea control, antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, and general exams. In addition, the Veterinarian will travel to various homeless encampments to provide these services and to offer and encourage spaying and neutering of the pets.
 
When pets need additional care, this position will coordinate with local veterinary clinics we contract with for services. These contracts allow us to provide spay and neuter services, dental services, and many other procedures that the pet owner would not otherwise be able to afford. These vital veterinary services keep pets from being relinquished to animal shelters and provides peace of mind for the pet owner. In addition, our veterinary program partners with our Street Medicine Program to provide health care services to the pet owners, which advances San Mateo County’s One Health Concept.

The County Attorney’s Office of the County of San Mateo is seeking well-qualified candidates for the position of Deputy County Attorney II, III, or IV - Labor Standards Enforcement.

THE COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE
The County Attorney’s Office (also referred to as the County Counsel’s Office) is the general counsel for the County of San Mateo and all of its departments, as well as for many school districts and special districts. As a large company might utilize its in-house counsel, our clients rely on our office for the full range of legal services, covering a broad spectrum of practice areas. The office's more than 30 attorneys handle nearly all of the County's civil litigation, including employment, contract, commercial, personal injury, probate matters, civil rights, child welfare, taxation, environmental law and impact litigation.

The position will be a Deputy County Attorney II, III or IV, depending on the selected candidates’ experience and qualifications. The starting salary ranges from $154,856.00 to $272,459.20 depending upon the level of each position, but the job description and duties remain the same.
 
Recently the County Board of Supervisors passed a Resolution directing the County Executive to take the necessary steps to establish an Office of Labor Standards Enforcement (OLSE). The OLSE envisions all workers being paid a fair wage and treated respectfully in San Mateo County. The OLSE will provide outreach and education to workers and employers within the County about labor standards, including wage-per-hour requirements. The OLSE will also coordinate investigation and enforcement efforts regarding labor standard violations within the County. The OLSE will be a collaborative partnership between the Office of Racial and Social Justice, the County Attorney’s Office, and the District Attorney’s Office, integrating the strengths across offices to implement the functions of the new OLSE for the County of San Mateo.
 
This position will advise the OLSE on all legal aspects of their work. This position will also review, triage, and investigate allegations of labor standard violations, calculate lost wages and penalties, communicate with employers regarding violations, negotiate restitution for impacted employees as needed, and file prosecutions of such violations, when appropriate. This position will serve as both in-house counsel to the OLSE as well as trial counsel for labor standard enforcement efforts. Because this is a new position supporting a new County function, it requires someone who is a self-starter with knowledge and experience of labor standards and wage and hour laws.
