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.

The role requires 40 hours per week, working 5 days over the week, including weekends and bank holidays on a rota basis and we are looking for an appropriate level of fitness due to the physical aspects of the role.
