Welcome to Nursing Opportunities at the NJ Department of Human Services (DHS).
People First Nurses Logo

Here at DHS we are dedicated to providing quality services to our mentally ill and developmentally disabled clients, and to protecting, assisting and empowering children at risk and economically disadvantaged people. DHS emphasizes “PeopleFirst” in the delivery of these services.

“PeopleFirst” is our logo and our mission not only for our clients but also for our employees.

DHS employs 1,400 licensed nurses within our 16 facilities and throughout our other divisions, which include Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired, Medicaid, and various community outreach agencies. We are committed to putting “PeopleFirst” by making every effort to shape our services to fit the needs of the clients. Building this supportive, caring environment applies to our employees as well.

We have specialized training and orientation programs to get our nurses started, flexible work programs to fit their lifestyle, and the opportunity to grow in their career. As New Jersey’s largest employer, we give you a choice of great places to work that have friendly, diverse environments close to home. We offer competitive salaries and an extraordinary benefits package. Make your nursing move in New Jersey the perfect one!
