Title
Administrative Assistant

Description
I own a small durable medical equipment company that mainly supplies insurance-covered breast pumps and lactation support. I would like to hire someone to work in the office 2-5 days per week. We are open Monday-Friday from 9am-3pm. Only 1 person usually works in the office at a time and occasionally a customer may stop in to pick up their order or purchase replacement parts. Main tasks include transferring data from faxes and preparing daily shipments. Below is a recent employee's description of their experience in this role. Please note that since many pandemic restrictions have been lifted, you may have to occasionally interact with customers. Also, if/when someone else enters the office, a mask is required. "Working at Vital Milk was relaxed and meaningful. I would recommend this job to anyone who thrives on task-based work. The job was very safe COVID-wise and required no direct contact with staff or clients. Dawn encourages communication and over time you get to know the crew who run the business. It felt purposeful to know I was helping people in my community in this line of work and was an educational experience in the field of lactation. Being organized, able to work independently(with training), a strong communicator, and proficient in managing your own schedule based on the needs of the day are important skills at Vital Milk."
