County of San Luis Obispo careers

Established in 1850 as one of California's original 27 counties, San Luis Obispo County now covers roughly 3,300 square miles and 100 miles of coastline. Its government provides more than 700 public services, a figure the county quotes itself, covering law enforcement, animal control, flu shots, foster care, and transportation planning. Supervisors from five districts legislate for the unincorporated areas, and a Health Agency with a public health division carries the county's care and prevention work. Seven hundred services is the honest pitch: nearly any skill a person brings has a county department that needs it.
