Job Description

Under general supervision of the Director and Administrative Officer, the Administrative Assistant 2 provides comprehensive administrative support to the UCCE Central Sierra Multi-County Partnership across Amador, Calaveras, El Dorado, and Tuolumne counties. The position serves as a primary administrative contact for the Tuolumne and Calaveras offices and independently coordinates a variety of administrative functions, including purchasing and financial transactions, office operations, safety coordination, volunteer program administration, facilities and event support, publications, and digital communications.

Stretching from the foothills above the Sacramento Valley through rugged mountains to Lake Tahoe, south through the wine country of the foothills of Amador and Calaveras Counties to the edges of Tuolumne County, the "Golden Counties" of California have a terrain as diverse as their population. The pioneering spirit that drew the gold seekers of yesterday still thrives among our residents.

Our counties remain lands that are rich in opportunity and continue to prosper through their people.
