We are looking for someone to drive a faculty member from Newberg to Salem to Tigard three Mondays in September (Sept. 13, 20 and 27), leaving Newberg at 8 a.m. and returning to Newberg at about 5 p.m. When not driving, the person will assist with tasks as needed at each campus (probably office work). This is an 8.5-hour work day (with half-hour required meal break). A car is not required, although if provided, mileage will be reimbursed.
There may also be occasional need for a driver on Thursdays beginning Sept. 9, early morning through afternoon, to provide transportation from Newberg to the Portland campus and/or back. Driver license and good driving record required.
If you know someone who might be interested in this position, please ask him or her to send an e-mail to hr@georgefox.edu. If the person does not already have an application on file, one will be required.
Please pray for Dwayne Hood (Plant Services) and his family, as his Mom suddenly passed away in her sleep this week. Dwayne is our new full-time plumber.
Thank you,
