*PHC provides paid time off to eligible employees for designated company holidays to allow employees time to enjoy the holidays away from work and to support a healthy work-life balance. Holiday pay is intended to compensate employees for time they would have worked had the company not closed for the day

To be eligible for the floating holiday, employees must be employed on January 1st of the calendar year.

If a clinic site remains open on a holiday, staff who work receive additional compensation.

Student Loan Forgiveness/Repayment Programs

PHC is also an eligible worksite for a number of student loan forgiveness programs.

Please note that PHC is not the administrator of the above programs, but is an eligible worksite, which allows individuals working in qualifying positions to apply for student loan forgiveness or repayment. PHC does not make the determination about eligibility or acceptance into such programs.

Internal Application Process

PHC provides opportunities for professional development and career advancement for our employees. To be eligible to apply for an open position, an employee should meet the following criteria:

meet the minimum qualifications of the position
have completed at least six months in their current role
and be in Good Standing as defined in the Good Standing section of the Employee Handbook

PHC encourages managers to give preference to internal candidates who meet or exceed the minimum qualifications of the position.

PHC posts all job opportunities on our electronic job board through ADP.

Applying through your ADP profile instead of via our external career site allows you to see postings only available to internal candidates and will ensure that your application is flagged as an internal candidate.

Positions that are only open to current employees are noted as “Internal” on the job board. If you are interested in more than one opportunity, apply to each posting individually.

Students

PHC recognizes the importance of student educational experiences in community health centers. PHC staff will oversee the supervision of students when providing patient care, treatment, or services as part of their educational training.

PHC requires an executed Student Affiliation Agreement between PHC and the educational institution of the student who will be completing a student experience at PHC. Students who are approved to complete an experience at PHC are required to complete a student information form, student orientation, confidentiality agreement, and to provide a Letter of Good Standing from their educational institution before starting their experience. PHC does not approve requests for shadowing experiences that are not part of an experience covered under a Student Affiliation Agreement.

Contact Human Resources at (515) 248-1447 to inquire if we can accommodate your request at this time.
