Job opportunity with Speak
Do you want to give more time to speaking out for justice? To encourage more prayer and campaigning? To give practical and pastoral support to young people in the SPEAK network?
Maybe you should consider Regional Support Work...
As part of the SPEAK Network Support Team your role would be to invest in and help develop and empower the SPEAK network. Through regular communication with groups and links you would encourage and inspire them in an integrated approach to campaigning, prayer and sharing faith, help new groups set up and network with church leaders and partner organisations to explain the vision. You will learn new skills as you run training sessions, support Freshers Fairs, do campaign actions and give talks on God's heart for justice and the core values of SPEAK.
This is a totally amazing opportunity to travel round the country and see what the SPEAK network is doing!
We are looking for people who are:
- servant hearted.
- serious about following God and living a Holy Life.
- have some pastoral gifting.
- know their Bible.
- know a reasonable amount about injustice issues and preferably have some experience in campaigns.
- committed to prayer.
- committed to sharing their faith.
- have some experience in Christian servant leadership.
- are not scared by public speaking.
- are committed to seeing people released into their gifts and callings and into gifts of the Holy Spirit.
You will have to raise support to cover your living expenses, but there will be full training and support from the Network Support Team in this, and it really helps build faith in God and the generosity of others! The minimum time commitment we are asking for is 20 hours a week, so you could work part-time to supplement your support. This means you can commit to between 20 and 40 hours a week. The hours are likely to be varied and may involve some evenings while you're on your travels.
Hours: Negotiable
Salary: Support raising based
Location: Manchester
Start date: Summer 2008
For more information please contact the Network Support Team for an application pack.
If you are interested in working for SPEAK in any other area, e.g. campaigns and events organising, please get in touch. We are not advertising at present but these position are support raising based and we would need to factor that in to a start date.
