Alive Church is seeking a Love Your Neighbour Lead to provide vision, leadership, and coordination for our compassion and community ministries. We are looking for a committed Christian with strong leadership and relational skills, a heart for social action and discipleship, and the ability to think strategically while working pastorally. The post-holder will review existing programmes, develop new initiatives where needed, mobilise volunteers, and inspire the whole church to love our neighbours well.
This role oversees and develops our Love Your Neighbour work across Spear, Food Pantry, Bloom, Alive Welcome, and Love Christmas, helping the church respond to cause, community, and crisis with creativity, care, and faith.
A key part of the role is shaping a chaplaincy-style community around Spear, offering pastoral presence, prayer, hospitality, and belonging alongside — but clearly distinct from — the programme’s professional coaching. A key component of the role is to ensure alignment with the vision of Alive Church: to see individuals, the church, and our communities Come Alive.
Hours: [Part-time / Full-time – flexible]
Join us as we seek to be good news to Gateshead, Newcastle, and the wider North East — addressing root causes, building community, and responding faithfully to crisis in the name of Jesus.
