<br>
It could be a paid full-time internship position (fr. un stage;
ger. ein <span data-align="0:10">Praktikum</span>) for an
university graduate, with maximum duration of say 12 months. A lot
of university graduates have difficulty finding first job, paid,
or even unpaid internship. <br>
<br>
Or a paid full-time post-retirement or near-retirement employment.
By the way, I read recently of a statistical research which
demonstrates that, contrary to expectations, advanced-age
employees are absent from work due to sickness less than young
ones.<br>
<br>
I would also suggest not only administrative help, but
multi-tasking, including editing map, answering forum questions,
community-organizing, etc. If a candidate is well selected, this
could be possible. The workplace, perhaps, could be rented on a
budget at the ImpactHub premises [1]<a
href="http://www.impacthub.net/"></a>. There is also nowadays
technology which allows to work via telecommuting from a public
library. For example, silent mouse Nexus SM-8500 (no clicking
sound) [2], etc.<br>
<br>
I would also suggest a two - three months probation period, a
control of presence at a workplace, a quality and quantity control
of work results.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi,
one of the things that came out of the board meeting in Berlin last
month was that we decided to look into hiring part-time administrative
help to take some of the day-to-day workload off of the shoulders of
board members and other volunteers.
I am writing to ask your opinion of this idea (what tasks would you like
to see OSMF do more of, and where an administrative assistant could
help), but even more so to ask for your experience: Are you involved
with an organisation similar to OSMF (all volunteer work, budget in the
£100k range) who pay for a part-time administrative assistant, and how
do things work out for them? What works, and what doesn't, etc?
You can reply to this message in public or send me email if you'd rather
offer your advice in private. Also, if you should be in a position where
you could actually help the OSMF plan and execute this (perhaps because
you're working in the HR field), please do write and we'll gladly accept
your help.
Bye
Frederik
