Become a Front Desk Assistant

Do you enjoy multi-tasking?  Do you want to help others? Do you want to develop or fine-tune your communication skills? 

Front Desk Assistants provide administrative support to the Learning Commons’ programs and work at one or more of the three desks across UC Clifton’s campus, or at the single Learning Commons Front Desk on UC Clermont’s campus. You can develop campus connections that will benefit you throughout your college career. We provide flexibility around class schedules and provide the opportunity to connect with high-achieving students.

Some of the key Front Desk Assistant job duties are as follows: 

  1. Provide outstanding customer service and serve as the “first point of contact” for the Learning Commons 
  2. Answer questions and provide support to students/faculty/staff in person, over the phone, and via email 
  3. Review appointment reports to ensure no appointments violate Learning Commons scheduling policies 
  4. Manage student academic support sessions and input attendance data into online database 
  5. Track and check out Learning Commons resources (textbooks, laptops, projectors) to student staff  
  6. Other duties as assigned
