More about City of El Paso
On the benefits side you also see pension plans, medical, dental, and vision coverage, an HSA, PTO, paid parental leave, and the Shape It Up Wellness Program, plus quality training and tuition assistance programs. Once you’re inside as city staff, promotional jobs are reserved for employees, with transfer and reinstatement paths for classified roles. Locals often point people toward City openings when the wider market feels tight. One clear limit: the LVN role is unclassified, contract, and grant-funded, so the position depends on continued state and federal funding. You’ll need a Texas or NLC compact LVN license, current CPR, and a Texas Class C driver license (or equivalent) to cover the clinic-and-home-visit mix.
