St. Augustine Catholic Church in Oakland is seeking an enthusiastic, detail-oriented person for the position of Office and Facilities Manager. The position requires both organizational and people skills. Someone who loves the challenge of constant interchange with people will fit well since the Office/Facilities Manager is the first face and voice of the parish for homeless, people in need, visitors, and members.

If you thrive on variety, love to learn, if you often find a better method to accomplish tasks and you keep it all organized, you will enjoy this challenge.

Fluency in Spanish is highly desirable.
