2021 NCS Programme
NCS (National Citizen Service) is a government-backed initiative with a mission to equip 15-17 year olds with the confidence, skills and support they need to make a real difference in their communities. The aim is to encourage young people from different backgrounds to mix through a local, community-based programme.
-
NCS three-week wave which consists of one residential week (5 working days) and two non-residential weeks (10 working days).
In the first week (Mon-Fri), based at a residential centre away from home, teams of young people supported by staff will take part in challenging outdoor team building activities. In the remaining two weeks (Mon-Fri), delivered from a local hub, young people will build their confidence and other life skills, and then design and deliver a project that benefits their local community utilising the skills they’ve built throughout the entire programme.
-
NCS two-week wave which is fully non-residential (10 working days).
In these two weeks (Mon-Fri), delivered from a local hub, young people will build their confidence and other life skills, and then design and deliver a project that benefits their local community utilising the skills they’ve built throughout the entire programme.
Twin offers a fixed-term contract and aims to provide longer employment consisting of a few waves. This is however, subject to the performance on the programme and young people numbers.
Additional opportunities in our Autumn 2021 programme may become available to those that will have worked on our summer programme(s) and received positive feedback.

Would you like to play an essential supporting role, key to the smooth and efficient running of a busy and thriving church as it wakes after the lockdowns?
Would you be able to provide the support we need as we build up our existing church family and reach out to our local community?
Our buildings were closed for renovation and again during the winter due to the pandemic. So, online, we have developed services, prayer, music and worship – including for children. We want to build on these new skills as we return to our beautiful church and move into our newly renovated suite of church halls. All is ready to be filled with new initiatives and reunions with the people we have missed seeing.
If you would like to work in a friendly environment where you can develop your gifts and are encouraged to explore new ones, we may have just the opportunity for you! We’re currently looking to appoint a new Parish Administrator to join us as soon as possible. We are looking for someone, or an established job-share, who will embrace our vision and values with enthusiasm and commit to helping fulfil that vision.
You will need to deliver a coordinated approach for all aspects of administration and communication at the church, in support of the Vicar and ministry team members. You will have today’s IT skills, be able to develop our social media and online presence, and be able to support the Treasurer and other volunteers in financial matters.
The position is outward-facing, providing a key point of contact for members of the public, the church congregation and its volunteers, as well as for those who hire our premises for community events and recordings. It is important that you are fully supportive of our vision and values, will be committed to helping fulfil that vision, and be supportive of the ethos of the Church of England in general.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
