The Evangelical Alliance is pleased to announce the return of its successful Graduate Scheme. We are offering up to nine paid roles across our four national offices as part of a new programme looking to equip and release some of the best and the brightest talent to serve the UK church. These posts are aimed at both graduates and those who have gained equivalent life experience.
We have designed a training programme incorporating weekly content from a range of contributors. This will include theological input, understanding our cultural context, leadership, communications, personal development and much more. You will report to a line manager who will oversee and manage your workload, and you will have opportunities to develop mentoring-style relationships. There will be interaction with the other graduates on the scheme as well as the wider staff team.
The main training component will be delivered for two hours on a Tuesday afternoon which must be working time for each of the posts. Other training will be delivered on an ad hoc basis. Successful applicants will also attend and participate in regular prayer gatherings and engage in team-wide worship.
The scheme will run from the week commencing 9 September 2024 until 23 May 2025. There may be some flexibility in working hours, and these should be discussed at interview and agreed with line managers.
