You have a talent for all things administrative, and you're looking for part-time work in a place where you can belong. We're Brooklin United Church (http://www.brooklinunited.ca/) and we've been looking for you. We are a joyful, inclusive, and evolving church. We worship in a magnificent building that exemplifies our community – a foundation laid more than 150 years ago, and now teeming with living faith. We're looking for an office administrator to join our staff. If our church sounds like a fit for you, read on! Office Administrator The purpose of this role is to provide leadership to our church office. You'll act as a hub, connecting church staff, volunteers, churchgoers, community groups and facility rentals. Your work and presence will bring order and harmony to an environment that's often complex and fast-paced. You'll support our staff by handling reception, and coordinating any administrative help they need. You'll work closely with our exceptional minister and internal staff to aid our weekly program, and act as a public facing representative that engages with the community. You'll support the life of our church by preparing bulletins, worship projection content, and quarterly newsletters. You'll also coordinate church and room bookings, purchase supplies, handle small cash transactions, and oversee our online content for Facebook and our website. A crucial project of yours will be to prepare the annual congregational and United Church statistical reports. You'll gather input from staff and committees to compile a document that summarizes the year for our church community. This includes event, committee and financial summaries, so this project will rely on your ability to work well with multiple types of people.

You handle difficult situations with grace. * Helpful – this is a supportive role, and you relish helping others. You don't check your job description before you pitch in to make someone's life easier. * Social – you love being around people.
