Front Desk Coordinator - The Tiny Scientist

About the Role

The Tiny Scientist is looking for a versatile, high-energy Front Desk & Classroom Assistant . This isn't your typical "sit-behind-a-desk" job; you are the bridge between our administrative operations and the hands-on science fun!

One hour you might be organizing the daily schedule and answering parent emails; the next, you’ll be leading a group of mini-scientists to the park or reading an engaging story to a curious crowd. If you are organized, love working with children, and enjoy a role where no two hours are the same, we want to meet you.

What You’ll Be Doing

• The "Mission Control" (Admin):
• Daily Scheduling: Managing the "master view" of the day to ensure classes and transitions run smoothly.
• Communications: Answering the phone and managing the inbox with a friendly, professional tone.
• Workflow Management: Using Trello (preferred) to track daily tasks and team updates.
• The "Field Scientist" (Classroom & Outdoors):
• Classroom Support: Jumping into the lab to lead small group activities and assist the lead teacher.
• Park Trips: Safely escorting groups of children to the park for outdoor exploration and fresh air.
• Storytime: Leading engaging read-aloud sessions that spark curiosity and excitement.
• Safety & Care: Helping manage transitions, snack times, and ensuring every child feels supported and safe.

What We’re Looking For

• Administrative Skills: You are tech-savvy, comfortable with Trello and email, and have a "black belt" in organization.
• A Love for Kids: You have experience working with children and know how to keep them engaged, safe, and inspired.
• Adaptability: You can pivot quickly from a professional email to a high-energy classroom activity.
• Reliability & Energy: You’re dependable, punctual, and bring a positive vibe to the lab every day.
• Physical Stamina: You are comfortable walking to the park and staying active with the kids throughout the day.

Perks

• Competitive Pay: 20 - 26$/Hr
• The Best of Both Worlds: Enjoy the focus of office work and the joy of teaching and being outdoors.
• Impactful Work: Help us inspire the next generation of scientists and thinkers!
