Title: Office Manager

Community Helping Hands, located at the Gateway Center, exists to meet the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of people to show them the love of Christ as we equip and empower them to help themselves and others. One of the ways we accomplish this mission is through an operation of a second-hand thrift-store, where items are sold to the public and also given away to eligible individuals and families with emergency needs for clothing, household items, and furniture. The operation of the store and management of donations provides opportunities for work experience, job training and mentoring for those assigned to work experience, community service and/or volunteer work.
The purpose of the Office Manager is to oversee all operations and activities of the Community Helping Hands office, including client referrals, human resources, general bookkeeping, scheduling and general office duties. Typically, the division of time is about 50% client referrals, 30% human resources, and 20% general office/bookkeeping. CHH considers this to be a ministry position. The Office Manager reports to the Executive Director.
