Arts & Culture Program Assistant

Glen Foerd is a dynamic cultural institution committed to enriching our community through arts, culture, and environmental education. As a Program Assistant within our Arts & Culture Department, you will play a vital role in ensuring the success of our programs.        

Position Overview:

The Administrative Assistant (AA) provides support to the President and Manager, President’s Office and Board Liaison in the general organization of the President’s Office. The AA serves as the gateway to the President’s Office; manages the President’s calendar; and coordinates general administration for the President’s Office. This position requires a driven self-starter with excellent communication, organizational, and customer service skills.  

Primary Responsibilities:

Glen Foerd seeks energetic, outgoing individuals to assist with our summer kayaking programs on a part-time, seasonal basis. On-Water Kayaking Assistants will aid with 2-hour excursions on the Poquessing Creek and Delaware River. Excursions run Saturdays and Sundays, depending on the tides, beginning in mid-May through mid-October. Assistants may also act as a chase boat driver when not assisting on the trip via kayak. This is a part-time, seasonal position that reports to the Environmental Program Manager, Environmental and On-Water Program Coordinator/Educator, and works collaboratively with all Glen Foerd staff and volunteers.

The Opportunity

Glen Foerd seeks an energetic On-Water Program Coordinator to support its environmental programs. The On-Water Program Coordinator will directly manage the kayaking and other on-water programs, and in conjunction with the Environmental Program Manager, will oversee, schedule and help train seasonal employees as well. This full-time, year-round position will report to the Environmental Program Manager. 

Glen Foerd is seeking a Seasonal, Part-Time Event Supervisor to oversee the historic property during private, catered events and to provide oversight of all Visitor Services Assistants (VSA’s). The Event Supervisor will report to the Business Manager.   More details on work hours can be found below.

The Event Supervisor handles all issues with the facility that may arise during the event. At the end of the night, the Event Supervisor locks up and ensures that the mansion and grounds are closed. Because the Event Supervisor is the only Glen Foerd staff on-site during evening events, he/she must be reliable, independent, and have a strong attention to detail. As the manager on-site, the Event Supervisor ensures that the rental client, catering staff and all third-party vendors always adhere to Glen Foerd’s policies and procedures, including clean-up and noise level requirements. As such, Event Supervisors must be self-confident and comfortable addressing issues directly.
