Residential administrative assistance to the Hamilton faculty member serving as Resident Director of the NYC Program. The Assistant Resident Director does not live in the Hamilton in NYC residences, but must live in NYC.

The position is funded for up to 10 hours per week, but other than the fixed Monday collection of Covid testing attestations the hours are varied.

If the Resident Director is out of town (or indisposed) for 1-2 days the ARD is on call but not paid unless actually called. If the period is 3-7 days the ARD can be compensated for up to 10 hours whether the ARD is called or not.

Assist the NYC Program’s Resident Director, other College administrators, and especially Auxiliary Services, with various tasks, including:

• Being on-call when the resident director is away or indisposed; additional responsible adult contact for students should there be an emergency, 20%
• Student support (covid safety and protocol checks, also possibly quarantine or isolation checks, helping students to arrange food delivery, and checks on local Covid guidance), 10%
• Scheduling cultural and theme related events, 25%
• Scheduling and monitoring apartment maintenance (including appliances, furniture, supplies, cleanings), 25%
• Managing student and director transitions, including move in and move out arrangements, 15%
• Overseeing summer apartment rental, 5%

We seek a person with experience in/with student services, ideally someone able to stay on in the position to avoid high turnover and repeat training costs, perhaps someone with part time job in a similar institutional environment.

Bachelor’s degree; strong preference given to candidates with experience with student services.

• Expertise in and experience with student services
• Wide and deep knowledge of New York City
• Ability to maintain confidentiality
• Excellent written, oral, and interpersonal communication abilities
• Strong analytical and problem solving skills
• Demonstrated knowledge of university/college setting

Please submit cover letter, resume and contact information for three professional references. Consideration of candidates will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.
