Position Overview

Reporting to the Deputy Director, the Office Administrator provides administrative support to La Raza Centro Legal as a whole, as well as dedicated support to specific program teams.

The Office Administrator and other staff at reception are the face of the organization and the public's first point of contact with La Raza Centro Legal. The Office Administrator sets the tone for the organization's relationships with community members, government officials, and other stakeholders and partners, and must represent LRCL with diplomacy, dedication, and cultural humility.

The Office Administrator has primary responsibility for reception and front desk duties, triaging phone calls, database entry, prescreening and intake for people seeking services, providing referrals to community members seeking services and support, tracking calls, emails, and walk-ins, and supporting legal program clinics and intake processes. Like all LRCL staff, the Office Administrator will also support a variety of organizational efforts and must be highly organized, detail-oriented, flexible, and able to work independently.

This position is ideal for someone who is bilingual (Spanish and English) or multilingual, excels at multitasking, and is interested in developing nonprofit administrative skills.
