Administrative Specialist (FFTL)
Commonwealth of Kentucky, Frankfort, KY, United States
Administrative Specialist (FFTL)
Do you like working with the public? Do you enjoy a face‑paced work environment? Are you a self‑motivated, multi‑tasking, and detail‑oriented team player? If this sounds like you, then you might be the ideal candidate for the Administrative Specialist position with the Kentucky Innocence Project, located within the Kentucky Department of Public Advocacy.
In this important role in Kentucky’s largest criminal defense firm, you will act as both a liaison between attorneys, clients, and other members of the community, as well as an administrative assistant to the office’s supervisor. You will also be expected to draft and edit a variety of documents and reports, so excellent communication skills—both written and verbal—are a must. Time management skills are also valued, as the ideal candidate will be handling multiple time‑sensitive tasks for various attorneys and will be able to prioritize and complete requested duties independently.
This is a federally funded time‑limited (FFTL) position. The duration of employment shall not exceed the life of the federal grant that funds the position. An employee appointed to an FFTL position is required to meet the minimum requirements for the classification and is designated as an unclassified (non‑merit) employee. An FFTL employee is eligible to receive benefits at the same level as a classified (merit) employee in a permanent position.
Our clients are people who have been wrongfully convicted of a criminal offense and are currently serving time in a Kentucky prison. Compassion for our clients and commitment to our mission are critical characteristics for the successful candidate.
A pleasant, outgoing personality is also highly desirable for this position.
