We have identified three priorities that support our mission: Advancing value-based payments, modernizing information technology infrastructure, and operational performance improvement. Our department commits to executing our responsibilities and priorities while adhering to three core values: Transparency, Integrity and Service.

Our State:
Vermont is a "small but mighty" state. We are ranked as one of the top 10 states to raise a family in 2022. We are nationwide leaders for progressive social and educational policies.  We are in Northern New England, 1.5 hours from Montreal and 3.5 hours from Boston. We have beautiful Lake Champlain, the Green Mountains, and year-round outdoor activities. 

Telework:
The Department of Vermont Health Access (DVHA) supports a hybrid work environment, with three (3) office days and two (2) remote days each week. Upon hire, employees work with their supervisor to create a schedule that aligns with the business needs of the unit.  We believe a hybrid work environment promotes autonomy and allows for increased flexibility and greater work/life balance.

Duties are performed in a standard office setting. Travel may be involved for which private means of transportation must be available. Short notice of critical meetings, quick deadlines for important reports, and need for sensitive communication under challenging and difficult situations required. Must be able to communicate and interact directly and communicate with all employees at varying levels of authority within the State of Vermont sometimes under highly stressful conditions.
