Employment Requirements
All Head Start employees require all of these certifications:
The Central Background Registry (CBR) is managed by the Child Care Licensing Division (CCLD) and serves as a registry of individuals who have been approved to work in childcare facilities in Oregon. Verified enrollment with the CBR is required before being hired for any position with Head Start of Lane County. Please keep in mind that it can take up to 8 weeks for the CCLD to process an application for the Central Background Registry, particularly for individuals who have lived out of state in the past five years.
To apply, visit the Oregon Department of Early Learning and Care. There is no cost associated with the application. Once hired, all staff must maintain enrollment for continued employment. We strongly encourage all job applicants to apply for the CBR as soon as possible, even before the interview, to prevent any delays in the hiring process.
For questions regarding your CBR application, please contact the Oregon Department of Early Learning and Care at 1-800-556-6616 or email ccld.customerservice@delc.oregon.gov.
Please note that individuals employed at Head Start of Lane County in roles related to food service, including serving, preparation, or transportation of food in site kitchens, main kitchens, and classrooms, must possess a current Food Handler's Card. Specific employment requirements can be found in the job descriptions. The Oregon Food Handlers course is accessible online. Employees are mandated to complete the state-approved food handlers course within 30 days of employment.
All new hires must obtain a Pediatric CPR/First Aid certification within 30 days of employment. Upon hire, you will be automatically enrolled in our in-house CPR/First Aid training. For more information, please contact the Human Resources department.
Within 60 days of employment, all teaching staff will need to provide valid proof of their enrollment with the Oregon Registry Step’s Program. Application forms will be provided at time of hire. Go online to check your ORO account or learn more about Oregon Registry Online.
