Profile - The successful candidate will be an approachable, outgoing and innovative, committed, spirit filled, Christian with experience of planning teaching programmes and social events, of assembling, motivating and leading teams, and of coordinating multi-component events both on church premises and elsewhere. A clean driving licence is very highly desirable. This post necessitates working on Sundays and some evenings.

Benefits - Pleasant working environment and a friendly and supportive staff team.

Salary - in the range GBP26-32,000 (pro rata if part time) depending on qualifications and experience.
