Summary of Duties:

We are seeking a team member who is interested in helping to improve well-being for vulnerable populations in rural Washington and in collaborating with diverse groups to address challenges and solve social problems.

The WRJN Program Assistant plays a vital role in building and maintaining relationships with stakeholders working to reduce jail populations and address underlying causes of incarceration in rural Eastern and Central Washington communities. Our ideal candidate for this dynamic, multi-faceted half-time position is community-minded, passionate about people, inclusive, and adaptive when faced with obstacles. One key aspect of this position is to engage various groups of stakeholders, some eager, some who are difficult to reach and others who may not initially be open to collaboration. Diverse groups include county justice system officials, community treatment/service providers, and those who have spent time in a rural jail within the Network. In addition to all aspects of outreach and community engagement, other important responsibilities will include: organizing, promoting and supporting virtual and in-person meetings and events; serving as a point of contact for the network; communicating effectively and efficiently with stakeholders; assist in identifying constituent concerns, priorities, resources, and informational needs; developing and implementing web-based and/or in-person recruitment tools for rural settings; maintaining essential administrative records; assisting with progress reports; and (willingness to learn) basic website maintenance. Grant-related experience a plus. Opportunity for occasional regional travel if public health conditions permit. Position funded by federal grant through at least 2024.

Remote work is possible for those able to travel in the region.

Required Qualifications

• High school graduation or equivalent AND two years of full-time clerical experience OR equivalent education/experience.
  
• Experience with Microsoft Office, especially Word, Outlook and Excel.
