Exploring mission, sharing ideas, uncovering solutions and finding support. A day with Sam Wells and guests.
We are looking for two enthusiastic Sheppard Scholars (new Pastoral Assistant scheme) to support new and refreshed mission and ministry projects. Both roles will take part in the worshiping life of St Martin-in-Fields, with the opportunity to share the life of the Nazareth Community. This is an exciting and inspirational year-long programme offering two people a unique chance to learn and grow with us.
These are interesting, wide ranging and supporting roles requiring a broad range of skills. You will be working closely with Clergy, congregation, office admin, verging team, events, catering, concerts, retail teams, contractors and others. Therefore, excellent communication and relationship building skills are a key part of this role, as well as an ability to be pastorally sensitive in all communications.
These roles offer not only breadth of experience but also a range of responsibilities from participation and involvement to roles of leadership. The aim is to be able to give a wide experience of ministry at the heart of the life of this church and at the same time to draw on the Pastoral Assistant’s own gifts and faith at a time of growth in the life of St Martin’s and HeartEdge.
Full details can be found on www.smitf.org. To apply: please submit a supporting statement and your full CV to hr@smitf.org. Interviews will be by appointment on 7 May 2019.
