Friends International is an evangelical mission agency dedicated to supporting and equipping churches to reach international students for Christ. We currently have 80 staff working in 35 university towns and cities across the UK and Ireland.

Reporting to the Centre Team Leader, you will fulfil a vital role in working with the local team to develop international student ministries with and alongside evangelical churches in Manchester. This will involve mobilising volunteers and liaising with church leaders to take the ministry forward.

  • A team builder, with gifts of encouragement and pastoral care

  • A self-starter, able to manage time and resources well
  • An active and committed member of a local church
  • Willing to raise personal support from churches and individuals

Hours: Up to full-time (35 hours), dependent on degree of personal support
(i.e. sufficient support for your own salary and work-related expenses from mission giving).

Salary: This is a personal-support funded role (i.e. you will need to raise sufficient support for your own salary and associated employment costs from mission giving). The salary will be pro rata of £31,650 per annum for a 35 hour week.

To apply, please email your CV and covering letter to:
