Supervisor Elsie Gates INV unit 14 <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>This
position may be filled at any level from a CPS Investigator II to a CPS
Investigator IV. The starting salary range is $2516.83 to $2828.83 per month
and will be based on the qualifications of the selected applicant. Applicants
selected for this position are also eligible to receive a $5000 yearly
stipend in addition to base salary. Once employed, the incumbent must remain
in an identified investigative position to continue to receive this
additional pay. Applicants for this position who are screened and selected
for further consideration are required to complete an on-line assessment as
part of the hiring process. Applicants must complete the on-line assessment
with a Highly Recommended or Recommended result to be eligible to progress
through the process and may receive an interview. If the applicant receives a
Not Recommended result, the applicant will not be selected for an interview.
The applicant must wait 6 months to re-take the assessment test. The applicant
will receive an e-mail providing instructions on how to proceed. The subject
of the email is Texas State Pre-Employment Test: CPS/APS Pre-Employment Test.
The assessment is web based and may be completed from any computer with
internet access. It is confidential and takes approximately one and one half
hours to complete. The user will receive a password that will allow him/her
to complete the assessment during multiple sessions. Please note the password
will expire after five days and candidates with incomplete assessments will
not be able to move forward in the process. Article II of the 2002-2003
Appropriations Act requires Family and Protective Services (DFPS) to pay
Child Protective Services (CPS) workers an amount not to exceed $50.00 per
month for work related use of their personal cellular telephones. In order to
ensure we comply with the intent of this legislatively mandated program, DFPS
is making it a condition of employment for all CPS caseworkers to obtain and
maintain their own cell phone and service for business related use. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
