International Student Ministry Opportunity: Staff Workers (London)

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

Reporting to the London and Kent Cluster Leader, you will fulfil a vital role in working independently within the Friends International local team to develop international student ministries with and alongside evangelical churches in London. This will involve mobilising volunteers and liaising with church leaders to take the ministry forward. Personal evangelism and discipleship with international students will also be a key component of the work, as you seek to provide a model for others.

You will be:

• Educated to degree level or its equivalent
• Passionate about cross-cultural ministry
• A visionary able to prioritise and think strategically
• A team builder with gifts of encouragement and pastoral care
• An effective communicator
• Committed to pursuing unity and building bridges across the evangelical spectrum
• 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 paid will be pro rata of £36,413 per annum for a 35 hour week.

To apply, please email your CV and covering letter to: Diane Smith, recruitment@friendsinternational.uk. Your cover letter should include specific examples of any student ministry experience you have, especially in a cross-cultural context, and any experience of raising money to fund your Christian ministry.

Applications will be considered as we receive them.  A local recruiting manager may contact you for an informal conversation before asking you to complete a formal application form.
