Are you organized, dependable, and good with numbers? Do you enjoy keeping things accurate, solving problems, and making sure important financial details are handled correctly?

Glenmont Job Corps Center is looking for a detail-oriented and reliable Bookkeeper to join our team!

Our Bookkeeper helps keep the Center's daily financial operations running smoothly. In this role, you'll process invoices and payments, maintain financial records, assist with student pay, manage cash transactions, and help make sure everything is accurate, organized, and completed on time.

You don't just work with numbers—you'll be part of a team that helps keep our Center running so our students can focus on building their futures.

Schedule: Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM
Work Location: On-site at Glenmont Job Corps Center
Please Note: This is an in-office position. Remote work is not available.

What Does a Bookkeeper Do?

Think of the Bookkeeper as one of the people who helps keep the financial side of the Center organized and on track.

On a typical day, you may be processing an invoice, issuing a payment, helping with student pay, balancing financial records, managing petty cash, or preparing reports.

In this position, you will:

• Help manage student pay — Coordinate and process student pay and allotments accurately and on time.
• Process invoices and payments — Review invoices and payment requests, enter information into the accounting system, and help ensure vendors and staff are paid correctly.
• Maintain accurate financial records — Keep accounting records, reports, and supporting documents organized and up to date.
• Handle cash transactions — Maintain petty cash and meal ticket funds and assist with approved student and staff transactions.
• Review and reconcile accounts — Check financial information for accuracy and help identify and correct discrepancies.
• Complete routine accounting tasks — Perform calculations, postings, data entry, recordkeeping, and recurring financial reports.
• Stay organized — Maintain financial documents and files so information can be easily located when needed.
• Protect confidential information — Handle student, staff, vendor, and financial information with professionalism and discretion.
• Meet important deadlines — Prioritize assignments and make sure payments, reports, and other financial responsibilities are completed accurately and on time.
• Work with different departments — Partner with staff throughout the Center to answer questions, resolve financial concerns, and support Center operations.

You’ll Also Be Part of Our Student Support Team

Even though this is primarily an accounting position, everyone at Job Corps plays a role in helping our students succeed.

As a member of our team, you'll interact with students and staff and help create a professional, respectful, and supportive environment.

That means:

• Treating students with respect and professionalism
• Encouraging accountability and responsibility
• Communicating clearly and professionally
• Helping students understand processes related to their pay when appropriate
• Working collaboratively with other departments to support student needs

Who Would Be a Great Fit?

You may be a great fit for this position if you:

Enjoy working with numbers and financial information

Are comfortable using computers and entering data

Can keep records and documents organized

Take confidentiality seriously

Can manage several responsibilities and deadlines

Communicate professionally with coworkers, students, and vendors

Are comfortable handling cash and financial transactions

Know how to identify a problem and work toward a solution

Are dependable, accurate, and take pride in producing quality work

Previous bookkeeping, accounting, accounts payable, payroll, banking, or similar financial experience can be especially helpful in this role.

Why Join Glenmont Job Corps?

At Glenmont Job Corps Center, every department contributes to our mission.

While our instructors teach career skills and our residential and counseling teams provide direct student support, our administrative and financial teams help make sure the Center has the structure and resources needed to operate successfully.

As our Bookkeeper, your attention to detail helps ensure that students are paid, vendors are paid, records are accurate, and important financial processes stay on track.

What You’ll Love:

Meaningful work — Your role supports a program dedicated to helping young adults build successful futures.

Consistent schedule — Enjoy a Monday–Friday daytime work schedule.

Team environment — Work with staff across multiple departments.

Professional experience — Continue developing your accounting, bookkeeping, administrative, and financial skills.
