Substitute Administrative Assistant (short-term and long-term assignments)

OCDE is currently seeking skilled and motivated individuals who are interested in working on an on-call basis as Substitute Administrative Assistants for long-term assignments. These short-term and long-term assignments typically consist of a 7 to 8 hour workday, Monday through Friday, with standard hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Part-time shifts may also be available but are less frequent. The selected substitutes will be responsible for performing administrative support duties for assigned division staff and providing excellent customer service to employees, school site staff, community members, and others. Substitute assignments can be located at our central office in Costa Mesa or at other program sites within Orange County. The Orange County Department of Education (OCDE) serves some of Orange County’s most vulnerable student populations and provides support and mandated fiscal oversight to 28 school districts serving more than 600 schools and approximately 475,000 students. In addition to providing direct instruction to students through its own alternative and special education programs, OCDE administers an array of programs and services that are critical to the operations of local school districts and community colleges, facilitating professional development, legal guidance, payroll, career and technical education support, high-speed internet access, Local Control and Accountability Plan assistance and approval, resources for families, and student enrichment. OCDE’s vision is that “Orange County students will lead the nation in college and career readiness and success.” Department staff are working to achieve this goal in collaboration with educators at all levels of student development, from early childhood through higher education, and in partnership with families, businesses and community organizations.
