Spiritual Roles

Ellel Ministries’ foundational scripture is Luke 9:11, where Jesus welcomed the people, taught them about the Kingdom of God and healed those who needed healing. The ‘welcome’ aspect of what we do is therefore very important to us here at Glyndley Manor as it is a way to share God’s love to those who come through our doors. All of our team do a variety of jobs but each has the satisfaction of knowing they are part of a bigger picture enabling God’s heart to reach those who are hurting and need His touch.

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 regular 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.

Practical Roles

We are looking for someone to help look after and maintain our 17-acre estate, manor house and cottages working under the Grounds/Maintenance Manager’s supervision. The role includes grass cutting, gardening, looking after animals and maintenance for the manor house and cottages.

The ideal applicant will be capable of repairing furniture, painting, decorating and assisting with larger renovation projects working both alone, on their own initiative and as part of a wider team. Good interpersonal skills are essential as the applicant will be in daily contact with the team who come from a range of backgrounds. A flexible can do attitude and heart for the healing ministry would also be helpful.

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.

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.
