Scotland associate

For the graduate scheme 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.

Candidates will be interested in research in public policy and have a desire to see the evangelical church engaged in these issues and growing in its mission. You will have a good knowledge of political structures and processes in Scotland and be comfortable communicating issues from an evangelical Christian perspective.

Overall role objectives:
1. To research, analyse and report on public policy and legislation as part of God’s mission in Scotland from an evangelical Christian perspective.
2. To support evangelical Christians and the wider church to engage well, both in church and in the public square.
3. To assist and support the work of Evangelical Alliance Scotland as directed by the head of the Evangelical Alliance Scotland.
