Summer Job with a San Francisco Foundation

Its mission is to help the poorest of the poor around the world, particularly women and children, rise out of poverty (www.theforgottenintl.org).
The Foundation is seeking a part time administrative and IT assistant to work with us on some day to day tasks in the office. Your duties at the Foundation will be mainly to support and assist the President and Director of Operations in whatever they need in their day to day work. Also, it would be helpful for you to have some IT-related skills to support our three computers and printers. Some tasks may include:

- Update our website when necessary (we use a customized WordPress site)
- General upkeep of computers and devices (updates, connection issues, also tending to any issues as they arise like needing to buy new ink, paper jams, no wifi connection, etc.)
- Managing all our external hard drives, printers, wifi network, homegroup network (allows for shared printers on network) making sure all of them run smoothly and troubleshoot
- Backing up the main computer’s hard drive (including our Dropbox cloud)

This job is part time and every day is something different. A flexible schedule is fine, and we can discuss which days and times will work best for both of us up to 12 to 15 hours per week. We would prefer two to three days a week, starting in the mornings, for you to come into the office. This job is not a remote position. The pay rate is negotiable as well.
