The Glendale-River Hills School district is seeking a Health & Attendance Secretary to join its team of dynamic professionals for Summer Academy 2024. The ideal candidate for this position is an enthusiastic staff member who is committed to our “Every kid. Every Day. Whatever It Takes” approach.

The Health Secretary is responsible for a myriad of responsibilities, including the distribution of medication, daily attendance, supporting office needs, and more. Above all, the Health Secretary is one of the “faces” of Summer Academy, and oftentimes, one of the first people to interact with visitors and guests via phone or in-person communication. It is important that candidates for this position maintain a friendly attitude and a professional demeanor during stressful or challenging times. This position also involves high involvement directly with children. The ideal person for this position would treat all students who come to the health office with love, care, and respect while helping to resolve any needs.

The staff at GDRH is committed to breaking down systemic barriers of access for students of color, students who identify as LGBTQ+, students labeled with a disability, students who are experiencing poverty, students who are linguistically diverse, and other student groups who have been traditionally marginalized in schools. Candidates who apply should be willing to regularly reflect on their identity and privilege, and engage in critical conversations.

Preferred qualifications include previous experience in the health field, some experience with technology and/or working in schools.
