The College and the District:
College of San Mateo is part of the San Mateo County Community College District and is designated as a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI), enrolling approximately 15,000 students each academic year. College of San Mateo has a diverse student population that is a reflection of the communities that is serves. Detailed information about the student population, including data related to student success, can be found on College of San Mateos Office of Planning, Research and Institutional Effectiveness (PRIE) website.

The President has called for the college community to be student-focused in our return to campus and always find a way to get to "yes" as one team to better serve our communities. We have recognized the need to do more and we recognize that we are stronger together. To learn more about CSMs antiracism and justice-centered efforts, please read our Solidarity Statement.



Who We Want:
We value the ability to serve students from a broad range of cultural heritages, socioeconomic backgrounds, genders, abilities and orientations. Therefore, we prioritize applicants who demonstrate they understand the benefits diversity brings to a professional educational community. The successful candidate will be an equity-minded individual committed to collaborating with faculty, classified staff, administration, students and community partners who are also committed to closing equity gaps. The San Mateo County Community District seeks employees who value mentorship and working in a collegial, collaborative environment, guided by a commitment to helping all students achieve their educational goals.



The Position:
The Athletic Trainer performs professional work involved in preventative and on-site care of students in the athletic program. Under direction, the employee researches, advises and coordinates programs of preventative care and therapeutic treatment for student athletes, and provides immediate first-aid and referrals to outside providers in emergencies and other injury or illness situations as appropriate. Public contact is extensive and primarily involves students and staff for the purpose of exchanging information related to prevention, care and therapeutic treatment of sports-related injuries. A high degree of independent judgment and creativity are required to analyze and interpret data for the resolution of frequent minor and occasional major problems that arise. Consequences of errors in judgment can be costly in student health and employee time. An Athletic Trainer is not a medical practitioner and is limited to providing first aid and therapeutic treatments and to making referrals to medical practitioners. An Athletic Trainer can lead the work of other staff and student assistants as assigned.

The duties of certain classes of jobs are subject to fluctuations in daily working hours which are not susceptible to administrative control. As a consequence, the Board, in accordance with Education Code Section 88026, exempts these classes from overtime compensation for service in excess of the hours in the workday, but agrees that hours worked in excess of the hours in a workweek, or for hours worked on a holiday, will be compensated on an overtime basis. The classes to which this section applies are: Athletic Trainer, Theatre Technician/Events Coordinator, Theatre Events Manager, and KCSM Underwriter.
