Minijob (low-hours role): admin, research, smaller tasks
About the role
We need support on the non-scientific side of our day-to-day operations: incoming post and scheduling, source research on pollutant topics, preparing authority enquiries, simple data research, documented filing, occasional short errands. Concretely, a typical week is: a few hours of structured research, an hour of administrative odds and ends, and from time to time a longer task such as a topic overview or a supplier enquiry.
Who we specifically want to reach
We want to fill this role specifically with people in the childcare phase: on parental leave, returning to work, working part-time, with school-age children and irregular childcare gaps. Why: because a geringfügige Beschäftigung with self-allocated hours and most days at home is the model we can sensibly offer here, and because we want to bring in the qualifications and life experience of this group on purpose. We do not see this as a niche but as what fits this role well at our scale.
What we offer
- Self-allocated hours: you set your own schedule.
- Roughly three of four working days at home; about one day per month or per week (depending on phase) in the Neunkirchen office.
- Clear task packages, not an open inbox as a permanent state.
- No weekend duty.
- Pay within the Austrian Geringfügigkeit framework; concrete hours and hourly rate agreed at the application stage.
What we require
- Careful working style. You write structured notes, document what you researched, and leave a clean handover.
- Car and driving licence. Commute to Neunkirchen and occasional short errands.
- Good written and spoken German.
