Website Support Specialist
Part time web support specialist, flexible hours, flexible location. You can work in our office or remotely. We need someone to add content to our website and improve navigation – that is, make it easier for people to find relevant resources. We will provide most of the content but you will need to curate and organize it appropriately. Examples include but are not limited to: organize a list of upcoming events from information we send you piecemeal (as they are scheduled), work with consultants/speakers to post their information, convert slide sets to PDF and post, take content from a word file we provide and post it on a webpage. There is a large back-log of content right now. After the back-log of content is loaded, the hours will vary. There will be updates to post, additional materials to post as we develop them, journal articles as they are published, links to other sites with relevant resources to add and update.
