Employment Information
Do you have what it takes?
We
are pleased that you are interested in employment with the Humphreys County
Emergency Communications District. Before you download the employment
application, we want to preview what you can expect as a Humphreys County
Emergency Communications District employee.
We find that many applicants do not fully understand what the 9-1-1 Center does
because the many duties performed are not always visible to the
public/community. A Dispatch Position can be very rewarding if you like
helping people and your community, however dispatching is hard work. You
would be responsible for dispatching to several law enforcement, fire and EMS
agencies, answering 9-1-1 calls, multiple phone lines, and entering information
into a Computer Aided Dispatch system; all simultaneously.
We often deal with callers who come to us in extreme emotional stress expecting
help and a prompt professional response.
We expect all
citizens to be treated with equality, dignity and respect at all times and under
all circumstances. We expect employees to be alert and interested in helping
the citizens of our county at all times. This is not an optional responsibility.
The 911 Center operates 24 hours a day, 7
days a week. We do not close for holidays, weekends or at night. The
opportunity to be off for most holidays, weekends, etc., is rare.
We are a drug free workplace and require all employees to undergo pre-employment
and random drug screens. All employees must pass a thorough background
investigation, psychological testing and a physical prior to employment.
We are looking for high quality employees who are seeking a position that is challenging, yet rewarding. If a job as a Humphreys County Emergency Communications District employee interests you, please download and complete the Employment Application linked below.
You may drop the completed application off at the 911 Center at 103 East Main St. in Waverly. If you are unable to download the application, copies are available at the 911 Center 24 hours a day. We accept applications year round whether or not there is an open position.
Thanks for your interest!
