Administrative Assistant Position Available in Community

WHO WE ARE
We are a non-profit, permaculture-centered, cooperative community close to Eugene, Oregon.  
We are not an ‘egalitarian’ community that provides for all of your basic needs.  

Living here, we all know that we are ultimately responsible for our own financial needs, and that we need to generate that from outside of what our community can offer us.

There are approximately 40 to 60 of us living in a rural, dispersed village on 88 acres of forest, creek, fields, and meadows.

Residents put in approximately 20 Hours / Week towards Community Participation and Governance, some of which is paid work (as staff) and some of which offers rent reduction work credits (land-based work and maintenance).


WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
We are looking for a few residents, staff, and interns who can be really successful living here, happily working and participating in our Intentional Community.

We are particularly looking for an Administrative Assistant

This position works approximately 20hrs per week.

This position is paid $15/hr.

This position includes a free site for an RV or Tiny Home (including utilities) or other housing at reduced rates.

Our community is located only 15 miles / 30 minutes by car from Eugene, OR.  A motivated, skilled admin assistant person could find more paid work remotely or in the area if they wished.

Work includes but is not limited to:
Basic Office / Google Suite Software
SquareSpace, Docusign, Vertical Response
Social Media, Customer Service
Miscellaneous Office Tasks

An ideal candidate will be self-motivated, able to problem solve, and desire to be of service.
Previous experience as an Administrative Assistant or Office Admin a plus!

A NOTE ON COMMUNITY
You will be living and working in a rural intentional community, run cooperatively, focused on permaculture, non-violent communication, and self-governance.  We quite often provide access to produce from gardens and some firewood from our acreage.  We strive to also have a shared meal plan, and provide for your basic health and safety needs.  On property we also have a wood-fired sauna, wood-fired hot tub, and educational events that often include workshops, students, teachers, wellness practice, and dance.
