Job Description

The Education Service Center, a key institution dedicated to supporting public education, is seeking a qualified individual for the role of District Receptionist and Clerk. This center plays a pivotal role in facilitating communication and administration within the school district, acting as a central hub that connects educators, administrators, students, and the public. As part of its mission, it provides essential clerical and secretarial services which ensure the smooth operation of district activities, thus enhancing educational delivery and community engagement.

The District Receptionist and Clerk position is located at the Education Service Center and involves an 8-hour workday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. This full-time role requires a dedicated professional who can manage front desk receptions, field calls, and perform a variety of clerical functions efficiently and with a high degree of professionalism. Reporting directly to the Superintendent and collaborating with other supervisory and confidential personnel, the District Receptionist and Clerk serves as the initial point of contact for the public and staff, making this role vital for maintaining the center’s positive public image.

This role encompasses a broad range of responsibilities that include greeting visitors in person and over the phone, routing calls and messages appropriately, and managing routine office tasks such as operating shredders, copiers, and computer terminals. Key duties involve creating and revising letters and forms, preparing requisitions, surveys, and state reports, and maintaining a facilities use calendar. The clerk also schedules appointments and meetings, maintains filing systems, and handles confidentiality with utmost care. An important component of the job is assisting with the district’s website and social media, plus providing Spanish transcription, translation, and interpreter services—as proficiency in Spanish is preferred to better serve the community.

Knowledge or experience of effective communication techniques both in English and Spanish is highly desired, reflecting the district’s commitment to inclusivity and responsive customer service.

The compensation for this position begins at $20.60 per hour (Range 15, Step 1), reflecting the role’s clerical and reception duties. Applicants selected for this position will undergo a thorough screening process including the review of submitted applications, personal interviews, a pre-placement medical assessment, tuberculosis clearance, and fingerprint clearance required before final hiring as a probationary employee. The filing deadline for applications is promptly set for 4:00 p.m. on May 26, 2026, or until the position is filled. Interested candidates can apply online via the official website under the Employment Opportunities section.

This opportunity represents a rewarding chance to contribute to public education administration within a supportive and structured environment.
