DISTRICT JOB OPENINGS

If your PNWD congregation has a job opening that you would like us to post, submit a brief description of the position to the district office. Include congregation name, position title, and contact person with phone number and email address. We encourage you to post the full position description on your website. Send us the URL and we'll link to it in the ad.

For job opportunities in the other three UUA districts of the Pacific Western Region (PWR), check the jobs postings at Mountain Desert District, Pacific Central District and Pacific Southwest District. Positions that serve more than one district in the Pacific Western Region may be posted on the PWR website jobs page.

Opportunities in the UU community beyond PNWD are posted on the UUA website's jobs page.

Ministerial Positions
Those positions that are at least 3/4-time may be found on the UUA Settlement System (may require secure log-in; contact transitions@uua.org for details). Settlement is open-ended service, called by vote of the congregation. Interim Ministers are contracted by the board to guide a congregation in transition for no more than two years, and are prohibited from accepting a call to Settlement there. Developmental Ministers are contracted by the board to serve a congregation during a transitional period that is three years or more; they may be called to Settlement by the congregation after no fewer than two years of service.

Open positions in the PNWD include:

Atkinson Memorial Church (Oregon City) - seeking Interim Minister to begin Fall 2013
UU Church in Eugene (OR) - seeking Developmental Minister to begin Fall 2013
University Unitarian Church (Seattle, WA) - seeking full-time Interim Ministry for Associate position, to begin Fall 2013

We also encourage our congregations seeking ministers for positions that are less than 3/4-time to post openings with the UUA Settlement System, but these searches are supported by PNWD and will also be listed in detail on this page, including directions for how to apply. Unless otherwise indicated, application materials should be sent to the District Office via email to pnwd@uua.org.
