• Experience working with youth (paid or voluntary), including practical evangelism or outreach.
• Strong leadership, communication, and organisational skills.

The Church at Junction 10 is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people, and vulnerable adults. We expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. 

This post is subject to an Occupational Requirement under Schedule 9 of the Equality Act 2010 that the post-holder is a practising Christian. This is because the role involves leading and delivering Christian teaching, discipling children in the Christian faith, and upholding and representing the Christian ethos of The Church at Junction 10. The requirement is therefore essential and proportionate to the nature and context of the role.
