VSUZH Secretariat 60%

​

Do you like working with young people and enjoy a varied everyday life? We are looking for a new person for the central task of the secretariat of the Association of Students at the University of Zurich, VSUZH. The secretariat works with eight students in weekly meetings, while allowing for independent work in the office near the university. Bookkeeping and administration of the VSUZH are part of the daily work. In order to relieve the student board and the student co-presidium and give them the opportunity to take care of the association's work, the secretariat takes on tasks such as pending control, maintaining databases, processing payment transactions, maintaining the catalog of activities, archiving documents or creating an annual plan. The secretariat may not intervene in the executive board's decision-making powers, but may be asked by the executive board for its assessment. The secretariat is present at board and council meetings and accompanies the student board at team building and team bonding events. 
The secretariat is also in contact with the other employees and delegates of the VSUZH. For the secretariat, we are therefore looking for a person who enjoys working with young people and enjoys everyday student life and administrative tasks.
