Director of Student Employment

The Student Employment Office is a newly created office charged with overseeing the administration of Swarthmore College’s Student Employment Program. The Student Employment Office seeks its inaugural Director of Student Employment in a full-time role to oversee the Student Employment Office and the Student Employment Program. The College recently completed a study by a campus working group that recognized the opportunity to prioritize the College’s program and implement a stand-alone Student Employment Office led by a Director of Student Employment, a one-stop shop/office that will serve as a human resources office for student employees and student employee supervisors (administrators and faculty who hire student employees on campus).
