We have a great opportunity for someone with the necessary qualifications and attributes to join our accounts team.

The post requires the right candidate to have good knowledge and a proven track record of working in business accounting. Previous work in the charity sector would be desirable but not essential.
Working at Caring For Life doesn’t just provide a job; it fulfils a calling into Christian Ministry. After 37 years, Caring FL continues to maintain its standpoint of only employing those who love the Lord Jesus. At Caring For Life, our work is based on the principle of Christian servanthood, and the way we support beneficiaries, and manage staff and volunteers, should all bring glory to God.
The principal aim of Caring For Life is to share the love of Jesus on a daily and very practical basis with many people, some of whom might have generally known nothing of His love; doing so through loving care and example, and it is our desire that they come to personal faith in Christ Jesus and become a part of His church.
We have some exciting opportunities for those wanting to work in Christian ministry, in a privileged environment where we get to share the love Jesus with the vulnerable and disadvantaged on the outskirts of Leeds.
These posts involve taking an active role in providing compassionate and consistent care to beneficiaries; taking part in prayer times; providing personal testimony of your experience of Jesus’ love, with both beneficiaries and members of the local community; and you may, from time to time, be asked to assist in supporting presentations in representing the Trust, predominantly to Christian church groups.
