BTLT is Hiring!

Administrative and Program Assistant

Brunswick-Topsham Land Trust

Position: Permanent Employee

Hours: 20-30 hours/week

Compensation: TBD based on experience

The Brunswick-Topsham Land Trust is seeking a part time (20-30 hour) staff person to assist with organizational and office administration, as well as support program, event, and communication needs. Key responsibilities will include general office administration, support of organizational and bookkeeping needs, event and program administrative tasks, and development of and outreach for new Community Outdoor Center.

Role of the Administrative and Program Assistant

Daily tasks might include filing, printing letters, responding to inquiry emails, completing mailings, answering the phone, managing office supplies, facilitating IT solutions, updating the BTLT website and social media, drafting e-newsletters, posting event fliers, and booking spaces for meetings and events. Other regular tasks would include assisting with bookkeeping, attending BTLT events, supporting administration of human resources, and coordinating volunteers.

In addition, this position has the unique opportunity to play an active role in facilitating the creation of a Community Outdoor Center on Brunswick Landing. This exciting new project seeks to engage community organizations, businesses, food system groups, and/or others in a large building situated adjacent to trails and the Brunswick Recreation Department. The vision is to create a space for community engagement, nature-based education, and facilitation of recreational opportunities at Brunswick Landing and in the wider community. The Administrative and Program Assistant would be actively seeking additional groups to participate in the Center, coordinating the multi-user spaces in the Center (including seeking users for the event and meeting spaces), and have the opportunity to help catalyze project(s) in the space. It is important to note that this portion of the position (estimated to be approximately 8-10h/week) is grant funded, and depending on funding, may be eliminated from the position/total hours at the end of the grant term (approximately March 2021).

The Administrative and Program Assistant would answer directly to the Executive and Associate Directors, but would likely work with all other staff to support administrative needs as necessary.

In addition, the ideal candidate would have experience working with donor software, a passion for conservation and recreation, and familiarity with the Brunswick and Topsham region and community.
