You’ll also have the opportunity to work with church staff to engage trainees in the wider church programme, helping them find community and explore life’s big questions.

What will you gain?

- Christian Leadership Skills  through continual feedback, vulnerability, and challenge, and have opportunities to practise these skills in regular staff prayer meetings for both Resurgo and the church, as well as in Spear team meetings and events. 

- Social Impact Awareness – you’ll gain a working understanding of the issues affecting your church’s community, work with the church to tailor Spear accordingly and understand effective and meaningful ways of measuring this impact.

- Excellent coaching capability, through the iLM accredited 5-day ‘Coaching for Leadership’ programme or our extended bespoke version for all Graduate coaches, the 2 week Coaching Academy. You’ll continue to develop your coaching skills while delivering the Spear programme through intensive on-the-job support and weekly 1-1 mentoring.

- Management skills, so that you have the skills and confidence needed to become a Lead Coach within a year, and then a Spear Centre Manager within 3 years, with responsibility for Centre staff, young people and outcomes.
