Lewis and Clark County

Every ninth weekend you work a 12-hour shift (7am–7pm), and that week you also take two 8-hour weekdays, typically 7am–3pm. A full-time county role here has been posted at $32.90–$38.71 an hour. Benefits on the table include two medical/dental/vision/pharmacy plans — a traditional option around $50 a month employee-only that may fall to $0 with the wellness incentive, or an HDHP at $0 a month plus $1,200 a year into an HSA — plus PureView Health Center at no cost for you and your dependents. The county also lists a retirement plan, paid vacation, sick leave, holidays, $25k life and $25k AD&D, gym membership reimbursement, a wellness screening incentive, voluntary supplemental life, and Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF). Helena’s cost of living sits roughly 4% below the national level. The Sheriff’s Office side of the house has 80-plus employees and covers law enforcement, detention, rural fire support, and search and rescue across more than two million acres. This is detention nursing, not a hospital floor — worth sitting with before you apply.
