State of Florida

The State of Florida hires through People First, the state government’s own job board, run by the Department of Management Services in Tallahassee. The executive agencies post there, from Children and Families, Health and Corrections to Transportation, Environmental Protection and Veterans’ Affairs, and so do the state courts, the public defenders and other offices under the Justice Administrative Commission, and the Legislature, whose postings send applicants to its own application site.

Its postings run from caseworkers, nurses and correctional officers to attorneys, engineers, accountants, scientists and maintenance trades, in offices, prisons, hospitals and field stations across the state, with the most in the capital. Most postings state a salary, and OPS postings are the state’s temporary hourly positions.
