We are looking for a mature Christian to join our community, coupling the performance of religious duties with a non-pastoral role as part of the maintenance team working on the maintenance needs around the base, as well as helping to look after the wider needs of our 35-acre estate comprising the main house, several accommodation and venue buildings; lawns and a woodland area bordered by the River Wey.

As a part of our team you will participate in daily team prayer and worship meetings, have opportunities to grow in your Christian faith through regular attendance on teaching courses and receive prayer ministry for your own personal development. Other opportunities may include welcoming and/or hosting guests to the centre; training in prayer ministry and opportunities to share short devotional messages with the team and/or guests on events; opportunities for teaching and/or group leading during events with guests.

This post is suitable for someone who would enjoy being part of an international Christian community.

The ideal candidate is someone able to carry out maintenance and re-roof older structures. This can involve using a range of different materials, such as slates, tiles, etc. for roofs jobs and assisting with larger projects under the supervision of the Maintenance Manager. They should be able to work both as part of a team, and also alone and on their own initiative. A keenness to serve and a good work ethic are therefore essential. The job is a full-time role (i.e. 5 days per week with 2 days off) and may include weekends and bank holidays on a rota basis. Our standard ‘weekend days’ are Sunday and Monday.

Given our ethos as a Christian community, applicants are required to be Christians and have a heart for the healing ministry. Participation in our Christian community and performance of religious devotional duties is an essential aspect of this role. As part of a close-knit team you will fill an invaluable role in fulfilling the vision for the ministry as outlined in Luke 9:11 where Jesus welcomed the people taught them about the kingdom of God and healed those who needed healing.

This is a live-in position, offering full board, shared accommodation and a small allowance to cover personal expenses.

Please apply if you believe the Lord is calling you to Ellel Pierrepont for this key role.
