Do you have experience in sharing love of God and the gospel with London’s least reached?

Do you have the ability to envision and equip the church in London for mission to the least reached?

London City Mission is recruiting a number of Team Leaders to live, work and worship in various locations across London. We estimate that one in three Londoners, that’s roughly 3 million people are unlikely to hear the gospel in their lifetime. These are the people who are unlikely to have a Christian friend to invite them to church, or introduce them to the hope they can find in Jesus Christ. They are people who may be homeless, people from other faith backgrounds and people living on some of London’s most deprived estates, including older people as well as children and youth.

We are convinced more than ever that LONDON NEEDS JESUS!

We have recently reorganised our field mission teams to include strengths in different aspects of ministry. We are seeking committed followers of Jesus with urban outreach and missional team leadership experience in one or more of the Mission’s five specialism areas:

• Children, Youth & Schools
• Estates & Seniors Ministries
• Diaspora
• Homeless & Marginalised
• Islam & Other Religions

The successful candidates will be strategic thinkers with strong analytical and research skills alongside excellent people management and leadership ability. They will have a track record in evangelism in hard-to-reach communities and the ability to form and develop partnership relationships with church leaders across an area. They will spearhead outreach strategy and equip others for outreach in their own teams and partner church volunteer teams.  They will also contribute to outreach strategy regionally and pan-London using their specialism experience.

The current Team Leader vacancies are:

Region                           Team                           Specialism

West                               Hounslow                     Islam & Other Religions (Sikh focus)

West                               Brent                            Diaspora

West                               Kensington                   Estates & Seniors Ministries

Pan London                   Schools                        Children, Youth & Schools

If you have the passion, gifting and skills we are looking for, and have a strong desire to reach some of the least-reached communities of London with the good news of Jesus Christ, follow the link for further information and to download an application pack.

There is a general occupational requirement that the people appointed be evangelical Christians.

The roles are full-time, permanent roles with a salary of £24,295 per annum plus housing provided by the Mission in the geographical area of work.
