We are looking for a mature Christian to join our community, coupling the performance of religious duties with a non-pastoral role overseeing the catering function at Blairmore House, the home of Ellel Scotland.
Ellel Scotland, Aberdeenshire
Applications deadline: Monday 31st March 2025 31 Mar 25
Residential
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. You will also have opportunities to grow in your Christian faith through attendance on teaching courses through our Two-Year Discipleship Programme for your own personal development and to receive prayer ministry.
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.
Previous experience of living in a Christian Community environment is desirable.
You will be an experienced chef who can oversee the function and working of the kitchen at Blairmore House doubling as the Kitchen Supervisor.
Working directly with the House Supervisor/Manager and the Assistant Centre Director, you will carry the responsibility for ordering and stock control, menu planning, day-to-day running of the kitchen and ensuring compliance with UK food safety and hygiene regulations.
Blairmore House has historically offered good quality meals for both the team and guests each day involving cooking for between 10 (outside of events) and 30 (during events) each day. There is an expectation that you will ensure the provision of good quality, nutritious meals whilst working within allocated budgets.
This highly responsible role requires an experienced candidate with excellent organisational skills. You will be required to organise, train and supervise a small kitchen team, some of whom have little experience and are from differing cultural backgrounds.
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.
The role is a full-time, live-in position and is a fixed term for two years as part of our Service and Discipleship programme. It comes with full board accommodation (private bedroom and shared kitchen, bathroom and living areas) along with an appropriate allowance to cover personal expenses. The role will include evening, weekend and bank holiday working on a rota basis.
