Job Opportunity: Relocation Support and Lending Closet Coordinator
Location: Vicenza, Italy
Start Date: 29 September 2026
Schedule: Part-Time, 20 hours/week (0800–1200, Monday–Friday)
Make a Difference Behind the Mission
Do you enjoy helping people get organized and settled — especially when they’re in the middle of a major life move? Do you want to be part of the team that makes arriving in Vicenza feel like a welcome, not a logistical nightmare?
We are seeking a Relocation Support and Lending Closet Coordinator to support the Army Community Service (ACS) Relocation Readiness Program at Caserma Ederle. Military families moving to Vicenza are navigating Permanent Change of Station (PCS) moves, arriving without their household goods, and trying to get oriented in a new country — often with small children and a lot of uncertainty. You manage the Lending Closet that keeps families comfortable while they wait for their shipments, and you maintain the community information resources that help them hit the ground running. You also prepare the welcome packets that make new arrivals feel that someone was ready for them.
What You’ll Do
Lending Closet Operations
- You’ll maintain accurate inventory records for all Lending Closet items, documenting loans and returns and retaining customer agreements for six months post-return.
- You’ll generate weekly overdue reports by close of business every Friday and contact customers via phone or email to coordinate item returns or replacements.
- You’ll submit a consolidated weekly summary of overdue accounts and flag inventory replacement needs upon request.
- You’ll prepare welcome packets weekly for incoming families and sponsors, ensuring packets contain all current relocation materials as determined by the Relocation Readiness Manager.
- You’ll verify and update community information on local agencies — phone numbers, building locations, hours of operation.
- You’ll set up classrooms for relocation briefings at least 15 minutes before start times and maintain class sign-up rosters with 100% accuracy within 24 hours of new sign-ups.
- You’ll log all customer contacts (simple and extended) in the ACS Client Tracking System (CTS) daily and submit monthly relocation statistics.
Who You Are
- You are detail-oriented and take inventory management and records accuracy seriously — you know that a misrecorded lending closet item or an outdated community resource creates real problems for families counting on accurate information.
- You communicate professionally in English and enjoy the customer-service aspect of the role — helping families returning borrowed items or answering questions about community resources is a genuine interaction, not just a transaction.
- You are organized and self-directed in the mornings and you make sure the welcome packets are ready, the classroom is set up, and the weekly reports go out on time without being reminded.
- You care about the mission and understand that a military family’s first experience with ACS shapes their entire perception of the Vicenza community.
Required Qualifications
- High School Diploma or equivalent.
- Minimum two (2) years of documented work experience in administrative functions, customer service, office operations, and/or inventory management.
- English language proficiency at Level 4 (Fluent) — reading, writing, and speaking. Certification or documented work experience evidence required.
- Italian national or legally authorized resident with the right to work in Italy.
- Italian language fluency (reading, writing, speaking) to support coordination with Italian-speaking customers or local agencies.
- Prior experience working at a U.S. military installation, with ACS or MWR programs, or in a relocation support context.
- Familiarity with SOFA regulations as they apply to U.S. personnel and families stationed in Italy.
🌍 Your mornings matter — you’re the first line of support for families who just arrived in Italy and need a soft landing. That’s a job worth doing.
🤝 Join a team that has been embedded in the Vicenza ACS mission since 2022 and knows the community, the systems, and the families.
📋 Part-time mornings with stable hours.
