We are seeking to appoint a committed Christian, who is a creative, imaginative, and suitably qualified person to the position of 'Student Outreach Worker'.

There is a Genuine Occupational Requirement that the post-holder be a practising Christian in sympathy with the Baptist, United Reformed, and Methodist traditions. You should be willing to work with a management group from the three churches, with local clergy, and with lay people to facilitate and support a wide range of activities within the three churches and the two universities.
