The Religious Education (RE) Committee is opening a search for a new part-time Coordinator of Religious Education (CRE).  We hope to find someone who is familiar with UU values and principles and who has a commitment to furthering these in the youth of our fellowship.  Review of applications will begin on September 12, 2008 and will continue until the position is filled.  If possible we would like the selected candidate to begin in October.

 

The CRE will work closely with the RE Committee in the organization and planning of the RE program.  The CRE will need to have good interpersonal skills, basic computer skills, access to a computer, and to the internet/email. Initially the job will concentrate on issues relating to organization (e. g., the calendar of childcare workers), communication (e. g., among the teachers, the RE committee, the treasurer, and the fellowship), recruitment of childcare workers and volunteers, and record-keeping.  With further financial support from the fellowship and therefore more hours of paid work, we hope the following fiscal year the job can expand to include areas such as attending RE leadership workshops, investigating and evaluating RE curricular materials, and overall curriculum planning throughout the RE program.

 

The salary for the Coordinator of Religious Education (CRE) will be $330 a month for approximately four hours of work per week, (or approximately 16-18 hours of work per month).  It is expected that the CRE will be involved with the RE program on Sunday mornings on a regular basis in order to maintain quality, facilitate communication, and establish familiarity with the families involved in the RE program.  In order to achieve this the CRE would need to work at the Fellowship before and after the service with the remainder of the job being completed on a flexible basis.

 

The application should include (1) an application letter that includes a statement of why the applicant is interested in the position, (2) a resume including life experiences that directly or indirectly have prepared the applicant for this position, and (3) a list of names and phone numbers of at least three references the committee can contact.  In applying for this position the committee will assume that the applicant is giving tacit approval for committee members to contact the listed references as well as unlisted references.  We would like to assure the applicants that all information gained from the applications, from discussions with references, or from discussions within the committee will be treated as strictly confidential.
