OPC/South Asian Forum associate

We have designed a training programme incorporating weekly content from a range of contributors. This will include theological input, understanding our cultural context, leadership, communications, personal development and much more. You will report to a line manager who will oversee and manage your workload, and you will have opportunities to develop mentoring-style relationships. There will be interaction with the other graduates on the scheme as well as the wider staff team.

The main training component will be delivered for two hours on a Tuesday afternoon, which must be working time for each of the posts. Other training will be delivered on an ad hoc basis. Successful applicants will also attend and participate in regular prayer gatherings and engage in team-wide worship and wider staff gatherings.

Candidates will have an understanding of and interest in the emerging intercultural church conversation in the UK today and specific knowledge and experience of the South Asian Christian community in the UK. You will have the ability to research
and deliver projects in these areas and develop engaging and creative content.
