Digital Marketing Assistant

Salary £ 22,000-25,000 FTE
Location;  Waverley Abbey Trust, Waverley Lane, Farnham, Surrey, GU9 8EP
Contract:  Permanent,  Part time
Hours: 4 days/week [9am - 5pm with 45m unpaid break]

Who are we?

At Waverley Abbey, we’ve got an important job to do: to extend and build the Kingdom of God through encounter with Him, through education, engagement and enterprise — for spiritual and cultural renewal for this generation and generations to come.

We are at a critical moment in world history; a moment of profound spiritual, economic and social crisis in the UK and across the world – with opportunity for a radical, spiritual renewal. In the last half of 2022, CWR and 24-7 Prayer came together to create a new vision at Waverley Abbey for such a time of this.

The 112-acre Waverley Abbey Estate, located about an hour from London, Heathrow and Gatwick Airports, has been a place of prayer since 688 AD and was the site of England’s first Cistercian Abbey.

CWR was founded by Selwyn Hughes with a simple vision of helping people to spend Every Day with Jesus – to pray and study the Bible every day. In 1985, CWR opened the Waverley Abbey Estate to establish a place of prayer, retreat and a Christian College to train and equip young leaders. 24-7 Prayer is an international, interdenominational movement of prayer, mission and justice. 24-7 Prayer exists to revive the Church and rewire the culture. Its resources help millions of people and its members from all over the world have been praying non-stop since 1999. 

With its remarkable history of thirteen centuries of prayer, its strategic location on the Prime Meridian, and its 30,000 sq. ft of accommodation, the partnership of CWR and 24-7 Prayer at Waverley Abbey represents a unique opportunity to establish a mission centre and a hub for spiritual and social transformation in the UK and globally. 

We are creating a new Abbey for a new generation. One that will champion encounter with God, through education, engagement and enterprise — for spiritual and cultural renewal for this generation and generations to come.

Waverley Abbey is a caring, friendly organisation - and so are our people. Our organisation is run by a bunch of professional, creative, like-minded individuals, working together to change lives. When you come to work for us, it’s obviously really important that you have the right skills, knowledge and experience. But it’s also vital that you have the right attitude, too. We look to employ people who do the right things, in the right way. This approach to recruitment means Waverley Abbey is a pretty great place to be - and we hope you can join us!

We may be blowing our own trumpet, but our team really is something special. Our people are gold. Our people come from all different walks of life, and it’s this mix of brilliant personalities, experiences and insights that gives us that warm, open and friendly culture you can feel as soon as you meet us. But however wonderfully different we all are, there are five things we’ve all got in common - and they are the Waverley Abbey values. Our values are the key to what makes our culture so unique; they’re a reflection of who each of us are and they’re embedded in everything we do.

• Integrity 
• Compassion 
• Selflessness 
• Transformational 
• Celebration

We employ authentic, selfless, compassionate, transformational and fun people!

Your Application

1. Before you start, check out the person specification 
The person specification highlights the key things we’re looking for. The essential criteria are those things which you must have in order to do the job, so it’s important that you are able to say ‘yes, I’ve got those’ before you invest time and effort in completing your form. Desirable criteria are qualities we believe would be an advantage for you to have. But don’t panic if you don’t have them - often, these are areas we would look to develop within the role, so they may simply be ways we can train you up. Of course, if we get lots of applications for the role, we may use the desirable criteria to narrow things down a little.

2. Be yourself 
As we mentioned earlier, our values are a really important part of how we recruit. We’re looking to find out whether your personality will be a good fit at Waverley Abbey so be honest and be yourself.

3. Tell us all about it 
We often find that applicants will state that they have what it takes to do the job, but don’t tell us why in enough detail. Please make sure you tell us why or how you meet the person specification. A good way to make sure you’re telling us what we need to know is to have a look at the person specification and note down an example that proves you have the skills, knowledge or experience in each thing on the list. Every time you tell us you have what it takes on your application form, give us one of your examples.

During the application, you will be given the opportunity to upload documents. Please provide us a CV.
