About the role
The City of New York's Administration for Children’s Services seeks an Agency Attorney to represent the Commissioner in administrative hearings before NYS tribunals and in related proceedings, focusing on child welfare matters.
Under close supervision, you will handle complex cases, draft pleadings, interview witnesses, and coordinate with OCFS and ACS programs to advance the agency’s mission on behalf of children and families.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
