THIS POSITION WILL BE FILLED AS AN UNCLASSIFIED PHYSICIAN

SALARY WILL BE BASED ON QUALIFICATIONS

Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections (DPS&C) / Elayn Hunt Correctional Center (EHCC) is currently seeking FULL-TIME PHYSICIANS who are looking for a meaningful career with an agency that truly values its staff and making Louisiana a safer, healthier state.

Experienced health care practitioners, new graduates, or J-1 Visa visitors are all encouraged to learn more about the benefits of being a DPS&C/LSP employee.

Better Hours, Better Pay, and Less Stress

Our Correctional health care staff works a steady schedule of 40 hours per week and share on-call, with 90% being outpatient work as a primary care provider between the hours of 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM, Mondays through Fridays. Louisiana is proud to offer state employees competitive pay based on experience. In Corrections, there is no haggling with insurance companies and social security tax is never withheld from salary. Employees who work beyond their normal hours are compensated for their time in the form of overtime pay or compensation time.

Strong Teams and a Stimulating, Flexible Work Environment

DPS&C/LSP health care staff experience a variety of diseases and conditions that are often not seen in private practice. Our physicians receive full malpractice insurance at no cost and a robust network of specialty providers and hospitals, mainly through Louisiana State University Health Care Network. The DPS&C/LSP provides for job flexibility so that staff can work outside of state employment in compliance with approved civil service rules.

Generous Benefits, Time Off, and Retirement Plans

Being a state employment comes with an excellent benefit package. Employees can choose from a selection of health insurance plans, dental and vision insurance plans, life insurance plans, and disability insurance. Employees with 1 year or less of state service receive 12 days of vacation leave annually and all full-time employees earn 12 sick days per year. Additionally, there are 10 guaranteed paid government holidays throughout the calendar year. Employees who request time off, but lack vacation days or compensation time may still receive time off in the form of leave without pay. State employees conclude their years of service with a generous retirement plan through Louisiana State Employees' Retirement System.
