Yokohama Wards Open Short‑Term Hiring For Frontline Welfare Roles

Overview

• Kanazawa Ward is recruiting one fixed‑term welfare staffer to handle public‑assistance casework, intake and phone support for a limited period to augment its life‑support division.
• Totsuka Ward is hiring two day‑rate staff across two work schedules to support elderly and disability services, including disability‑certificate issuance, counter work and phone assistance.
• Both notices require a social‑welfare qualification (social worker, mental‑health welfare worker or equivalent) and basic PC skills, and both set the daily pay at ¥12,720.
• Applications opened with short submission windows and strict rules: candidates must use prescribed forms from the city website and send documents by registered/simple‑recorded mail or deliver them in person; first‑stage screening is document review followed by mid‑October interviews.
• The short, fixed contracts are intended to cover immediate staffing gaps at busy service counters and may help maintain service continuity during emergencies, while differing benefit rules and work schedules reflect each ward’s local needs.
