Current Staff Vacancies - Iona Centres and CAMAS
Being part of the Resident Group at the Island Centres is not simply taking on a job - it is taking on a way of life, sharing in the Community's ministry of hospitality and a common life of work and worship.
Resident Group Members take on specific responsibilities for the running of certain functions within the Community, which encompass a range of skills and experience.
We ask that applicants be in sympathy with the aims and purpose of the Iona Community and recognise that living in community is not simply doing a job but sharing in common life responsibilities which includes welcoming guests, building community and daily worship where appropriate. If you are interested in applying, please read the Resident Staff Notes explaining practical details about life on Iona and Camas.
