The Star of the North Retreat Centre invites applications for the role of Program Coordinator (full-time, 37.5 hours/week with flexibility, including some evenings and weekends).
Rooted in the Christian contemplative tradition, Star of the North is a sacred space for retreat, renewal, and transformation. We are seeking someone who shares this vision and feels drawn to nurture the spiritual life of others through meaningful programming and compassionate presence.

- Promoting programs through online tools, social media, and website content

- Communicating our mission through personal correspondence and marketing
Who You Are / Qualifications:
You are a person of prayer and purpose, committed to spiritual growth — your own and
that of others. You possess:
- A Master’s degree in spirituality, theology, or a related field — or relevant experience in adult faith formation and retreat ministry
- A welcoming spirit, attentive to the sacred dignity of each person
- Strong organizational and communication skills, with an eye for detail and a heart for service
- Comfort with digital design tools and platforms (e.g., Zoom, Canva, Brevo), and a willingness to learn
- The ability to work independently and collaboratively, aligned with the mission and values of the retreat centre
Why Join Us?
