About the job
You connect people, numbers and organisation – and keep the threads together at the Heiligkreuz Monastery.
The monastery of the Olivetan Benedictine nuns in Cham is a traditional place of faith, encounter and communal life, where around 40 sisters live today. We are commissioned to address a strong organisational, skilled and empathetic personality as
Assistant to the Monastery Management (60 - 80 %)
In this newly created position, you report to the monastery's economist and support the monastery management. The focus is on the entire personnel administration of around 30 employees. In addition, you manage the accounting, process payments and take on administrative tasks such as correspondence and minute-taking. Further tasks in the areas of donations, insurance, property and IT complete your varied field of activity.
You have a solid commercial education, experience in personnel administration and preferably in accounting; knowledge of fiduciary services is an advantage. In dealing with the sisters and other contacts, you convince with an attentive, appreciative and service-oriented manner. You quickly familiarise yourself with new topics, communicate confidently in German and have good user skills in Word, Excel and Abacus. Depending on your prior knowledge, you will be introduced to your tasks individually and step by step. Understanding the Christian faith and respect for the values and way of life of the community of sisters are of central importance for this role.
We look forward to your application.
