ABOUT US
With the exception of immigration detention facilities, the United States lacks a formal system to address the needs of asylum seekers and other underserved newcomers. AsylumWorks was created to bridge this gap.
Founded in 2016, AsylumWorks provides culturally and linguistically appropriate services to help newcomers meet their basic needs, participate in immigration legal proceedings, and access opportunities needed to integrate into their new communities. Direct client services are free and available to individuals and families living in Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Northern Virginia, regardless of language, country of origin, race, religion, sexual orientation, or gender expression. To scale our impact beyond the National Capital Region, AsylumWorks creates and shares expert tools and training resources to support newcomer-serving organizations nationwide.
JOB DESCRIPTION
AsylumWorks is seeking a full-time Executive Assistant to provide administrative support to the Executive Director and Chief of Staff related to operations and back-office functions. This position will be supervised by the Chief of Staff. AsylumWorks is a hybrid workplace; this position may work from home up to two days a week.
WHO WOULD BE A GOOD FIT FOR THIS ROLE?
You are seeking a role that can leverage your organizational and administrative skillsets. You are enthusiastic about the provision of direct services but prefer to support a mission-driven organization in the back office to support the organization to be efficient, effective, and equitable. You want to work for an organization that can make a pivot in a month, not a year. You are looking for a role that allows you to lean into your strengths in project coordination and hope to learn more about the inner workings of a growing nonprofit organization.
