Full Job Description

London City Mission is recruiting a full-time 1-year fixed term Specialist Mission Associate who will bring their passion and skills to support the work at our Pan-London Prisons & Resettlement Team.

The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate a love for prisoners and prison leavers; a track record in evangelism amongst them; and the ability to inspire others in churches across London to get involved in ministry. They will work alongside and equip church volunteers for outreach amongst prisoners and former prisoners who are resettled in their communities, working as part of an experienced gospel ministry team. They will also need to be able to raise ministry personal support, including a target financial support as well as prayer supporters for the work of the Mission through personal and church partnership networks.

We estimate that one in two Londoners, that's roughly 4.5 million people, may not otherwise hear the gospel in their lifetime. These are the people who are unlikely to have a Christian friend to invite them to church or introduce them to the hope they can find in Jesus Christ. Many of those who have never heard the gospel will be from diverse people groups and faith communities.

We are convinced more than ever that LONDON NEEDS JESUS!

Our teams have a clear remit: to help envision and partner with churches in London to reach the least-reached people groups in some of the hardest to reach areas. The successful candidate will be a wholly committed follower of Jesus who will bring their passion and skills to support the work of our teams, helping to research the mission needs of an area, supporting networking with churches, helping to train and equip church volunteers in practical evangelism, or helping churches develop their mission work., Please note we're not responsible for the content of job ads, as they're posted by the recruiter. We'll aim to resolve the reported issue and we'll use your feedback to improve the quality of our ads.
