Emberwood is seeking a good ol' fashioned administrator!

We are offering 3 hours per week, 1.5 hours in person at $25.00 per hour. You'll track your own hours and submit an invoice for this contract.

how to apply:

To apply, come up with a title for this job that you'd love to have on your resume, and submit a cover letter explaining why our ideal admin assistant is YOU!

Send us an email at emberwood.nature@gmail.com

Deadline is January 22nd.

We are in need of a classic secretarial role (minus the heteropatriarchy and nonsensical gender roles). As intuitive feeling types (INFJs), we need someone who is the opposite! We are seeking someone interested in Emberwood who can bring a practical, logical, and analytical vibe to the team.

Must be pro-trans, pro-choice, and pro-cake.

Maybe you're a retired older adult who used to be an administrative assistant. Maybe you're a highly-organized Gen Z who loves things just so, and ship-shape. Whoever you are, if you are looking for some very part-time hours and can help us keep our ducks in a row, we need you!

We would meet in person once weekly at a flexible location, sort through our emails, and plan for the week. This would include committing to 1-2 weekly tasks of importance, in addition to any ongoing updates to your administrative system.

Here are things you'd find yourself doing:

  • Listening to dictated blogs and typing them out

  • Responding to emails via live dictation

  • Photocopying

  • Scanning

  • Managing budget spreadsheet + receipts

  • Creating an analogue system for sorting client contact information, possibly on cue cards

  • Managing the Emberwood calendar and updating it (online, on google calendar)

  • Creating a system to store hard copy files (waivers, etc) and manage paper files

  • Stuffing envelopes for mail-outs

  • Writing letters & typing dictated grant applications

  • Possible other opportunities could arise if they fit your interest, eg., calling folks, leaving phone messages; putting up posters


Again, this is a vintage, material, hands-on, and task-oriented job. You do not need to do any social media or content creation.
