Pendle Hill Facilities Associate; Part-Time

Pendle Hill is a Quaker study, retreat, and conference center located on 24 beautiful acres in unceded Lenni-Lenape territory. We are a mission-driven organization that seeks to create peace with justice in the world by transforming lives through learning opportunities, retreat, and community created on our campus and in virtual settings. We work to be inclusive, respectful, and supportive of all people, striving for peace and justice.

This is a highly collaborative staff community featuring responsive leadership and many community‑building opportunities, like biannual staff retreats for fun, growth, and connection, monthly fun activities as part of staff meeting, and the opportunity to serve on various committees. We also have monthly community work mornings, which provide variety with the opportunity to lend a hand on another team’s project or lead one for staff in your own work area.

Facilities Associate helps provide needed repairs and maintenance to our buildings and is part of a team that stewards our campus for residents, staff, and guests. Work includes both emergency repairs and preventive upkeep of multiple buildings. The Facilities Associate follows checklists, responds to work order requests, exercises good judgment to prioritize tasks, and alerts supervisors about needed repairs. This position is a great opportunity for someone who wants to build their facilities management skills or for someone with well-developed skills to work in a friendly environment.

All staff at Pendle Hill spend a few of their work hours each week contributing to the community through assisting with dishes, dining room set up, housekeeping, or other work.
