About the Role

The PA position provides essential administrative support to the Back on Track (BOT) program, SFU's main academic support and retention program. The position involves both an administrative component and a student-facing receptionist component. The PA coordinates the scheduling and delivery of appointments and group sessions which include working with other units on campus to arrange program logistics and space, preparing and distributing materials, monitoring and processing registrations and attendances, and updating student records. The PA provides administrative, clerical and secretarial support to the general CSS unit, such as payroll and finance reconciliations. The PA triages the arrival of students for appointments, facilitates the referral process, and responds to inquires with basic information about the BOT program.
