AL DHR Overview

Learning About DHR and DHR Jobs

Stipend recipients are not guaranteed employment with the Alabama Department of Human Resources. The Department agrees to consider the recipient for employment within 45 days after graduation unless precluded by merit system requirements, legislative budget cuts, position freezes, or other circumstances beyond DHR’s control.

The Alabama State Personnel Department website will be a source for all forms, documents, and information during the job application process.

The Site Map link located near the bottom of the main page of the state’s website contains many documents and links to information that will be helpful to you as a Title IV-E Stipend Recipient.

The Employment Opportunities section contains links to state job postings. As a Title IV-E Stipend Recipient you must apply for one of the following positions based on your degree:

  • BSW students apply for Social Worker 1 (50248-000)
  • MSW students apply for Senior Social Worker 1 (50221-000)

The Applicant Career Path section contains documents and links you will need during the application process. Some of those are listed below:

  • State of Alabama job application
  • Create an Account, Find a Job and Apply Online
  • Check your Register Standing

Recipients must submit their State of Alabama job application to TitleIV-E@ua.edu for compliance review during the first month of the semester of graduation. The recipient must indicate non-binding preferences for a minimum of three regions they would be willing to accept employment. Date of availability for interviews indicated on the job application must be the same date the application is completed, not their graduation date.

After the State of Alabama job application is received and approved by the Title IV-E Stipend Program Coordinator, the recipient must apply for employment with DHR via the process outlined on the Alabama State Personnel Department website.

It is the responsibility of the stipend recipient to update the Title IV-E Stipend Program Coordinator on all scheduled interviews, and offers of employment with DHR.
