Join Our Team

ACCOUNTABILITY

We foster an environment of transparency, responsibility, trust, and fairness in our actions and behavior through our interactions with staff, program participants, and community. We demonstrate reliability and personal responsibility and take ownership of our work and promptly correct mistakes to the greatest extent possible. 

COMMUNITY

We demonstrate a commitment to working with our staff, donors, volunteers, corporate partners, and civic leaders in order to build a better community for all our neighbors — those living with and without shelter.  We respect the views and beliefs of program participants, staff, and community members and work to make decisions in a collaborative and engaging manner.

COURAGE

We demonstrate bravery in the face of new challenges, take risks, and walk forward with bold purpose. We demonstrate the commitment to do what is right, even when it is difficult or frightening, to adhere to a higher standard of personal conduct, to lead by example, and to make tough decisions under stress and pressure. 

PAID VACATION & HOLIDAYS

We work hard to end homelessness, but we also realize the need to take time to recharge and be with those who matter the most. That’s why we offer paid vacation for full-time employees starting at 12 days per year. In addition to a flex day off for your birthday, there are 12 paid holidays and 2 personal paid flexible days.

COMPETITIVE COMPENSATION

We commit to equity in our compensation philosophy and practices. We are committed to equal pay for equal work. We are also committed to great benefits that help you balance your work life with your personal life. In many cases, we also offer an alternate 9/80 work week schedule.

HEALTH INSURANCE & FLEX SPENDING ACCOUNTS

We offer best-in-class healthcare benefits for our staff with medical, dental, and vision care.  We also offer flexible spending accounts for medical and childcare costs.

RETIREMENT PLAN

We offer a 403(b) retirement plan with employer matching contributions.

The 403(b) retirement plan is provided through Mutual of America. After one year of employment, Union Station contributes a base equal to 2% of your compensation PLUS matches up to 2% of your compensation if you also contribute to the plan. Employer contributions are subject to a 4-year vesting schedule. Employees may contribute up to the maximums allowed by law, starting upon hire.

INCLUSIVE TEAM CULTURE AT USHS

We embrace our differences and are committed to furthering our culture of inclusion and belonging. Our commitment to racial equity within the organization is crucial to who we are and the individuals we serve.

THE USHS DIVERSITY+ NETWORK

We promote acceptance, respect, teamwork and foster diversity in the workplace. We believe every individual has a story, past, and a unique set of skills that shape who we are. Through this network, we can learn from each other to become better versions of ourselves personally and professionally. Through our staff-led network focusing on diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging and accessibility, we work to communicate, educate, and express diverse cultivation through our eight Diversity Networks. We are honored that the Diversity Network has been recognized as part of the Community Impact Awards presented by the Los Angeles Business Journal.
