The postholder will coordinate volunteer teams for the social transformation projects, recruiting and developing leaders within those teams. They will develop volunteering as a key discipleship tool within the churches. They will keep the profile of social transformation high within the church, with a culture of celebration and expectation.They will also be active in fundraising, both internally and externally.
The postholder will understand the dynamic between loving people practically, inviting them into relational community and sharing our faith, all as a matter of priority. This will involve training for volunteers in evangelism as well as the practicalities of volunteering. Also, this will involve responding pastorally to individuals, both team and families.
