Are you organized, detail-oriented, and energized by working in a dynamic school environment? Do you thrive on building connections and supporting others? If so, we invite you to apply for the part-time Administrative Assistant role at Hood River New School!

About the Role
In this engaging position, you’ll collaborate with the Executive Director, Head of School, and a lead administrative assistant to ensure the smooth operation of our school. Whether you’re helping parents navigate their questions, supporting fellow faculty members, or contributing to a warm and joyful learning atmosphere, your contributions will be at the heart of our community.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Collaboration: Join a supportive team that values meaningful connections and shared success.

• Community Impact: Help foster a nurturing, positive community culture where accountability, risk-taking, and personal growth become second nature for students and faculty.

• Opportunities for Growth: This role offers the potential to manage our online social media presence, crafting consistent and engaging content that highlights our school’s vibrant community.

This part-time position is up to 15 hours per week. The role begins in March 2025 with an option to continue in the 2025-2026 school year.

• Holds a Bachelor’s Degree and has experience in administrative roles, preferably in education.

• Is organized, adaptable, and ready to contribute where needed.

• Demonstrates enthusiasm for supporting middle school students’ academic and social-emotional growth.

• Has bilingual skills in English/Spanish (preferred but not required).
