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 are an essential aspect of this role and include daily team prayer and worship meetings.
As part of our Two-Year Discipleship Programme, you will have an opportunity to grow in your Christian faith through self-study of our main teaching programme “Explore” and to receive prayer ministry.
Other opportunities may include training in prayer ministry, sharing short devotional messages with guests on events, teaching and/or group leading during events.
You will support the Catering Manager/Chef through your ability to follow a pre-planned menu producing a range of foods and needs for team and guests on a daily basis.
You will also need to be able to work well as a team member and at times alone. Some prior experience of cooking for large numbers is preferred but not essential as full training will be provided. We do however, desire a person who enjoys prepping meals and is willing to learn.
The ideal candidate will have an eye for detail, be flexible and able to work in a multi-cultural setting. Good communication, time management and people skills are important. A knowledge of basic food safety, food management and allergies are also highly desirable for 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 full-time, live-in position on a two-year fixed term contract as part of our “Service and Discipleship” programme. It comes with full board accommodation (private bedroom and shared team 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.
Applicants must be able to demonstrate a current right to work in the UK.
