Senior Administrative Assistant - Chc Oakland

The California Endowment is seeking a Senior Administrative Assistant to join the Center for Health Communities, Oakland team. This position is fully on-site.

WHO WE ARE

The California Endowment (“The Endowment”) is a $4B+ private, statewide health foundation established in 1996 whose mission is to expand access to affordable, quality health care for underserved individuals and communities, and to promote fundamental improvements in the health status of all Californians. They are changing the narrative around health to ensure health and justice for all, and each day they, along with their community partners, seek ways to improve the state of health in California.

Headquartered in downtown Los Angeles, they have regional offices in Sacramento, Oakland, Fresno, and San Diego, with program staff working throughout the state. They challenge the conventional wisdom that medical settings and individual choices are solely responsible for people's health. Instead, they believe that health happens in neighborhoods, schools, and with prevention.

OUR CORE VALUES

• We believe every Californian deserves health, wellness, and justice.
• We are committed to diversity, inclusion, mutual respect, and transparency.
• We value youth leadership and champion marginalized voices.
• We recognize the impact of trauma on both individual and community health outcomes.
• We value learning through action.

And just as our values drive our work outside of the Foundation, our Code of Ethics drives how we conduct ourselves inside the Foundation, with the goal of creating a healthy, productive workplace.
