On average, about 2,500 job openings in medical, dental or behavioral health specialties occur each month worldwide because of turnover within the system, Harrison said. The Army Civilian Corps employs approximately 40,000 people worldwide.
“We are not a training program,” he said. “When we hire people, they have to be fully qualified.”
His agency’s website, at www.civilianmedicaljobs.com, provides information about available positions, benefits and locations of jobs. Job candidates may also sign up to receive a newsletter.
Because these are civilian jobs with the Army, job holders aren’t subject to being deployed and can be relocated only if they are willing to move, Harrison said.
He and other representatives of the Army Civilian Corps make periodic recruiting trips around the country. Harrison, who is retired from the Air Force and formerly handled recruiting of medical personnel at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, said he will be in Columbus on Wednesday for an invitation-only meeting with a focus group of clinical personnel.
