Administrative Assistant - SPARK at UMKC
About the Role
SPARK is a lifelong learning community affiliated with UMKC, where adults 50+ come together to stay curious, learn something new, and enjoy each other’s company. We’re looking for a friendly, detail-loving Administrative Assistant (Independent Contractor) to be the friendly face behind the scenes keeping our classes running smoothly from the first registration to the final recording.
What You’ll Do
- Support Our Students
- Greet each class day by entering daily attendance into our class management software
- Keep student records current and accurate
- Help members register for new classes and process payments — sometimes the best part of their day is finding their next course
- Keep Everyone Connected
- Email class handouts and links to students each week before class
- Perform rough edits of class recordings
- Upload finished recordings to our YouTube channel and share the links with students after each class
- Setting the Stage
- Make class copies on our in-house printer
- Help instructors get set up before class, especially in our Smart classrooms
- Keep the coffee flowing and the snacks stocked (good conversation needs fuel!)
Who We’re Looking For
You’re comfortable with everyday technology – email, web-based software, YouTube, and AV/classroom equipment – and you know your way around a weekly deadline. You’re organized and dependable, and you genuinely enjoy people: our members are the heart of this job. You’re happy working independently and comfortable with the responsibilities that come with being an independent contractor.

Location: Onsite at the SPARK offices, 4747 Troost, Kansas City, MO 64110
