WORKING CONDITIONS

This is a part-time (20 hrs./week), non-union position. While it is a hybrid position, you will be required to work in the office. Some evening and weekend work are required, though infrequently.

COMPENSATION

We offer a family-friendly environment and compensation based on competitive public interest salaries. While this is a non-union position, the salary will be based on the union scale. The estimated hourly rate range starts at $35.38-$38.97 (placement in the range determined by union scale primarily based on years of related experience). This position's benefits include: 403(b) retirement plan with annual LAE contribution, sick leave, 20 holidays each year, and vacation (starting at 17 days and increasing with additional years of employment).

If you find that you meet many of the qualifications in the job description, we encourage you to apply and explain in your cover letter why your experience would make you a good fit for the position. We recognize that organizations may miss out on strong applicants who screen themselves out of the process because they do not meet every qualification and that disproportionately impacts people from historically marginalized backgrounds. We know that our greatest strengths come from the people who make up our team and a welcoming, inclusive and culturally diverse staff allows us to best serve our community. We look forward to your application.

LAE seeks to fill all positions with people who share our values, including our organizational commitment to diversity. We encourage all interested individuals to apply—especially people of color; women; people from low-income backgrounds; people with disabilities; people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, gender non-conforming, non-binary; or anyone belonging to any other federal or state protected category. We believe that all persons are entitled to equal employment opportunity, and are committed to not discriminating on any basis prohibited by applicable law.

APPLICATIONS WILL BE CONSIDERED UNTIL THE POSITION IS FILLED. THOSE SELECTED FOR AN INTERVIEW WILL BE NOTIFIED.
