Job Summary
We are seeking a new community member to play a key role as part of our Pastoral & Teaching Team. We are looking for someone with strong pastoral and teaching gifts, good people skills and a desire to share in the lives and fun of guests and community alike. Our Pastoral & Teaching Team is at the forefront of sharing God’s welcome to a wide variety of guests and visitors. This post is suitable for a person who would welcome the challenge of being part of a team ‘holding’ the community through a time of transition. For some of your time you will join a second team, working alongside members of community and our Working Friends, sharing a range of responsibilities.
We are looking for a commissioned leader (lay or ordained), of a church affiliated to the “Churches Together in Britain and Ireland” and welcome applicants from a range of denominations as those outside the Church of England are currently underrepresented in the team.
This is a 3 year post open to those who hold a UK passport or have the right to work in the UK. This is not a salaried position but you will receive accommodation including all bills, a wifi connection, meals and a monthly personal allowance & pension contribution. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all community members.
