Description

Essential Christian is passionate about seeing lives changed by Jesus through the creation of events, content and music. With Spring Harvest being our flagship event, safeguarding is a top priority, not least as we seek to ensure that all those who work with us, including those who volunteer at our events, are all suitable to serve in the roles for which they have been invited.

As safeguarding sits at the top of our agenda, we are looking to expand our Event Recruitment Team with the addition of a part-time role.

Therefore the ability to discern suitability for the physical and spiritual aspects of any particular role will be important.
