The Shalom Center is seeking a new staff person, to begin work in October.

The job involves some office management, some use of the Internet and Web, and some events organizing. Sometimes the shift from one function or task to another comes swiftly; so flexibility is useful.

The job will be in Philadelphia, in the Mt. Airy neighborhood. Living close by is a plus; so is having a car.

The absolutely perfect person would have all the skills below; we will welcome meeting the not-quite-absolutely-perfect person who has many of them. Depending on skills, the job might range from 3/5 to 5/5 time.

* Passion for peace, social justice, and healing of the earth
* Familiarity with Jewish culture and/or religion
* Familiarity with interfaith work
* Experience in event organizing
* General office organizing skills
* Computer skills:
* Familiarity with Apple computers
* Bookkeeping (Quicken)
* Managing databases: donations, address updates, etc.
(FileMaker)
* Bulk-E-Mail (Groundspring, etc.)
* Posting to Websites (Drupal and Mambo)
