Front Office Assistant

Mountain View, CAFull-timePosted Oct 15, 2026

Job description

Job Summary

We are looking for a dynamic, adaptable problem-solver to join our close-knit high school community of 50 students. In our fast-paced campus environment, everyone pitches in, and this role is a perfect example of that. You will be the welcoming face at our front desk and a daily support system for our students. Because our student body includes incredible teens who are neurodivergent, on the autism spectrum, or navigating ADHD and anxiety, you will interact with students regularly, helping them navigate their day with empathy, patience, and clear boundaries.

What You Will Do

  • Front Desk & Campus Operations: Serve as the first point of contact for students, parents, and visitors, keeping the front office running smoothly.
  • Student Support: Build meaningful, supportive relationships with students, helping them navigate roadblocks with empathy and consistency.
  • Team Collaboration: Work closely with teachers and staff to support the whole child in a highly collaborative setting.

Who You Are

  • A resourceful problem-solver who thrives in a versatile, fast-paced environment.
  • Compassionate and flexible, but capable of setting clear boundaries. We have an amazing group of professionals on our team: hardworking, fun-loving educators who understand what quality education takes and love jumping in wherever they're needed. Our staff are responsive, enthusiastic, and professional. We are committed, outgoing, and energetic (a sense of humor is always a plus!) Requirements / Qualifications Resume, cover letter, 3 letters of recommendation
