Our temporary, part-time Administrative Assistant helps keep daily operations running seamlessly. In this role, you'll take care of the small but essential tasks that keep the office functioning—tracking inventory, ordering supplies, setting up meeting spaces and handling quick errands that support the team's workflow.

You'll also assist with coordination and communication by scheduling meetings, preparing basic arrangements, answering calls and routing questions to the right staff members. Your attention ensures everything and everyone stays connected. On the practical side, you'll manage interoffice mail bags, keep printers and equipment stocked and maintain a steady supply of materials so the workspace stays ready for use. Administratively, you'll help process invoices, claims and other routine paperwork, supporting smooth, timely operations.

While you won't lead major projects, you'll play an important behind-the-scenes role that keeps the office organized, well-supplied and running without a hitch.

Qualified candidates must have the following:

• Training and experience substantially equivalent to graduation from high school or GED equivalent.
• Minimum of five years of progressively responsible office administrative experience.
• Valid California driver's license and ability to maintain insurability under the district's vehicle insurance policy.

They are detail-oriented, enjoy helping others and have a friendly, professional approach when interacting with staff and visitors. A strong candidate can follow instructions, stay flexible as needs shift throughout the day and isn't afraid to jump in wherever support is needed.
