Interested in serving God through the gift of hospitality at Sister Eveleen Retreat House?

Sister Eveleen Retreat House (SERH) is perched on the hill overlooking Sumner Beach. It is a place steeped in prayer and offering opportunities in contemplative Christian spiritual practice. The house accepts guests all year around, runs regular retreats, and hosts a wide range of Christian groups.


We have a vacancy for a Live-in Retreat House Host (RHH), paid 10 hours a week, accommodation provided. The RHH works with the Director to provide a hospitable welcome to guests  and a presence at the house when the Director has left for the day.

We’re looking for someone who has a strong, firmly rooted, Christian faith, someone who has a heart for the contemplative expression of faith as a way for God to be closely present.

Are you comfortable welcoming strangers, discerning when to chat and when to be silent,  mature and responsible? This might be more than just a role; it could be a calling for someone who feels drawn to a ministry of hospitality and contemplative service.  You might be on sabbatical, writing/researching/working from home, or in a transitional stage of your life. (with the possibility of a  6 -12 months role) 

Still Interested??

If you think Retreat House Host sounds like you,please ask for a ministry description, or arrange a visit to Sister Eveleen Retreat House, by contacting the Director, Antje Duda antje_duda@sistereretreat.com, phone 022 563 6879.                       

We would welcome your expression of interest, so please email a 1-page summary of who you are, what you’ve got to offer, and how this role might work from your perspective to the chair of the Oversight Board to serhchair@gmail.com  by
