A specific faith is an essential requirement for this role and in accordance with the Equality Act 2010 it is an occupational requirement that the successful applicant is a practicing Christian.

Being present in a space is the first step to helping something grow – it is here we can find a path to faith that is based around community.
We wish to be radically open to God’s future and so what we dream is of culture change rather than specific outcomes. Our intention is to see God at work, and to follow where the Spirit leads.
All this is part of the flourish framework, a set of intentions to explore new and community led pathways and expressions of faith. Through a growing network of initiatives and projects we hope to support new god centred communities.
