The Alabama Department of Youth Services has approximately 700 employees statewide in classifications ranging from Laborer to Senior Psychologist. The majority of our staff is in the classifications of Youth Services Aide and Youth Services Child Care Worker. These two (2) classes are on continuous recruitment which means the State Personnel Department accepts applications for them all the time. Currently DYS has the following jobs open: Youth Services Aide (60801) Youth Services Child Care Worker (60805) Youth Services Case Manager (60824) Note: for openings in our School District please see the School District portion of our website. The Youth Services Aide and the Youth Services Child Care Worker are similar jobs in that they both work with the young people who have been committed to our care and custody. Since the Department of Youth Services provides for all needs of students, the YS Aide and YS Child Care Worker work very closely with the students to ensure their needs are met. An Aide or Child Care Worker may serve as a positive role model for the student while at the same time providing the encouragement and motivation the child needs to succeed. The Aides and Child Care Workers provide the structure and guidance the young people require while on our campuses.
