About The Position
The Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) is seeking to fill two (2) temporary Lead Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) positions in the Public Assistance and Health Division. These positions may report to the Olympia, Tacoma or Spokane OAH facilities and are eligible for part-time telework, as there are some in-person hearings. If teleworking, the alternate worksite must be in Washington state. OAH's mission is to hear and independently resolve disputes between the public and state agencies with an impartial, quick, and easy to access process. The position of Lead Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) is critical to the successful completion of this mission. A Lead ALJ contributes to the mission by filling in for the Division Chief ALJ and Senior ALJs as needed, serving as a subject matter expert on the assigned caseloads; supporting agency-wide initiatives; mentoring, training and coaching ALJs, and providing feedback on ALJ performance. The Lead ALJ also manages a caseload, completes prehearing work, conducts hearings that are fair in substance and appearance, and issues well-reasoned decisions within the agency's timeliness standards. The Lead ALJ assists the Division Chief ALJ and Senior ALJs to ensure that the assigned caseload meets federal and agency performance measures.
