Overview:

The Summer Events Coordinator (SEC) will work as part of a team comprised of staff, church and community volunteers who welcome individuals and groups to St. Andrew's United Church year-round. Our staff is comprised of two Associate Ministers (full-time), a Community Outreach Coordinator (30 hours), an Office Administrator and Facilities Manager (30 hours), and a Communications Coordinator (14 hours). With limited staff and a very busy church in terms of programs and rentals, occasionally staff members are required to pitch in and do whatever needs to be done in order to meet a deadline, even if the particular task is not theirs. We hope the SEC will become an integral part of our team!

The SEC, reporting to and with guidance from the Community Outreach Coordinator, will successfully plan, organize, and implement the summer programs and events run or hosted by St. Andrew's, such as:

• The Annual Teddy Bear Picnic, a free and beloved community event that is attended by approximately 500 people, especially young children and parents
• Camp Spirit, a United Church of Canada summer day-camp for kids
• Block parties for the community

The SEC may also work with staff and volunteers to develop and lead additional events or programs throughout the summer for the community, especially for youth and families, such as workshops, art projects, concerts and kids' programs. The SEC will also be responsible for some of the background work that makes these events possible, such as taking inventory of the church and other organizational tasks. Provide occasional vacation relief and administrative support, time permitting.

Qualifications:

• Some post-secondary education
• Ability to work well independently and with others
