How to Apply
Please complete the application in its entirety. A resume may be attached as a supplement, but not as a substitute. Your application will be forwarded to the Human Resources Department for processing. Please review the minimum qualifications listed on the Hope Career Opportunities page to ensure that you qualify for the position. Applicants must indicate the specific open position(s) in order to be considered. Applications are active for a period of 30 days.

How You Are Contacted for an Interview
Human Resources will forward all suitable applications to the hiring manager for consideration. Due to the large volume of applications received for each opening, we regret that we are unable to grant each applicant a personal interview.

Verification of Employment Eligibility - The I-9 Process
The Federal government requires that US employers verify the identity of employment eligibility of all prospective employees. If offered employment, you must submit the documents demonstrating ID and employment authorization. APPROPRIATE DOCUMENTATION IS A CONDITION OF EMPLOYMENT.

Social Security Cards
The IRS requires that individuals be hired under the name listed on their social security card. Due to this regulation, you will be asked to show your original social security card to the Human Resources Department so they may verify that your legal name and social security number match those listed on the application.

Positions Requiring Licensure
Candidates must present original licenses (no photo copies) for verification prior to work. RN, LPN, CHHA, CNA licenses/certifications are subject to verification through the state board. Social Workers must provide a copy of their MSW diploma and Physicians must present their current Florida medical license for their personnel record.
