Dear Gold Hill Community,

After three and a half years of service, the Gold Hill School’s Office Manager, Eli, will be leaving the school come mid-January.  She’s sad to leave, and we’re sorry to see her go, but life throws you curveballs sometimes and we all must march on.  Eli needs to take care of her world and we… need a new team member!  So, who’s it going to be?  Maybe you?  Maybe you know someone who would be perfect to join us?  

The job posted today on the BVSD Careers website (jobs.bvsd.org) .  You can find it here: https://jobs.bvsd.org/office-professional-mountain-school-office-manager/job/18155728

The posting will be up for 2 weeks, through Dec. 30th.  We’re hoping to interview and hire the first week of January.  

The pay is hourly, with a rate dependent on education and experience.  Full benefits.  As you’ll see, the job is actually several different jobs pasted together, each with their own pay rate.   The job is currently 40 hours/week (school hours), but may be a bit less next year.  If you have questions about the position, please feel free to reach out to Jojo Morrison (Johanna.morrison@nullbvsd.org) or myself (Christine.maedke@nullbvsd.org).
