Jobs in health care

It’s no secret that jobs are hard to come by in Chico, but every so often a business opens or plans to expand. UnitedHealthcare is doing the latter, and to fill the approximately 150 new customer service advocate positions it has available, it’s holding a job fair next Wednesday (April 5). The positions will be filled over the next 18 months, according to a company press release.

UnitedHealthcare, which is dedicated to hiring veterans, has posted the positions online (uhg.hr/workatuhgchico) and encourages those interested to apply in advance. They are full-time and will be at the company’s East 20th Street offices. The fair takes place 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. at the Butte Community Employment Center (2445 Carmichael Drive).
