Are you ready to embark on a journey of knowledge and service? The Kansas Legislative Research Department is seeking a dynamic, motivated, and talented individual to become a vital part of their nonpartisan staff as an administrative assistant.
In this position, you will play a crucial role in helping to prepare the materials necessary to inform policymakers for the State. Get ready to showcase your exceptional communication skills and work collaboratively with a professional, educated, and diverse team. You will be making an impact in every step you take with others committed to public service and helping policy makers make better, more informed decisions.
The Department will provide you with the necessary technology tools and office equipment, for you to showcase and utilize your prowess with Microsoft Office Suite, and other document preparation tools to ensure the office’s documents are properly formatted and consistent to convey the weight and importance of the materials in the policymaking process. Some documents require you to be able to properly structure and format tables and visualizations consistent with the KLRD style, allowing lawmakers to quickly review information. Additionally, knowledge and use of document templates is preferred.
KLRD is also able to help with the professional growth of the selected candidate and fuel their desire and ability to learn new software skills quickly with the possibility of access to more advanced tools including various Adobe products, and other packages based on previous experience or learning aptitude.

The salary for the position is $45,000 with a high chance of overtime pay or compensation time (individual’s choice) due to the sometimes-unpredictable nature of a legislative session from January to May.
