: La Clínica de La Raza is a community-based health center committed to providing culturally appropriate, high-quality, and accessible health care to the diverse communities of the San Francisco Bay Area. We have spent over 40 years advocating for and creating a health home for the many that have been denied access to care.
As health care activists, we are dedicated to making sure individuals who do not have health coverage get the same level of quality healthcare as those who have it. From our genesis as a community health center in 1971, we understood that we cannot heal our communities without also addressing the economic and social factors that affect health. Many times, this requires that we go outside and provide services in other settings to build the bridge that links individuals to our health center for preventive and primary care.
Over 90,000 individuals come to La Clínica because it is a welcoming place that addresses the whole person, coordinating and connecting them to a broad network of services to improve and maintain their health and well-being. While we are still known for our activism and spirit of social justice, we are also proud to have grown into a sophisticated provider of primary health care services with 35 sites across Alameda, Contra Costa and Solano counties. Proactive Admin Assistant: We are looking for an Administrative Assistant who thrives on working in a vibrant and quick-paced setting.
This role serves as the right hand of the supervisor ensuring that things run smoothly and efficiently. In a work environment such as ours, being proactive is an asset because the manager and the clinic at large rely on your meticulous coordination and follow through skills. You will be regularly presented with varied experiences because each day tends to take a life of its own.
This role calls for someone who is great at interacting with all levels of clinic staff and someone who is approachable. To be successful, you’ll need to be comfortable leading from behind by serving as the manager’s liaison when necessary, taking the initiative to get things done, and ultimately being the person on whom leadership can depend. You should have a successful history of being proactive with a past or current track record of assisting staff with the day to day operations.
