• Is a confident communicator, comfortable managing logistics, speaking with visitors, and supporting speakers.
• Brings strong organisation skills and attention to detail, with the ability to juggle multiple tasks calmly and efficiently.
• Has strong digital skills, including using Zoom, Microsoft Office or Google Workspace, and possibly simple design tools like Canva.
• Is warm, welcoming, and committed to providing a hospitable environment aligned with Mercy values.
• Can work flexibly and collaboratively with a small, committed team.

An understanding of or openness to the mission and heritage of the Sisters of Mercy and the life of Catherine McAuley is desirable.
