Part 2 (Equal Opportunities Monitoring and Contact Form) is personal information – so we can contact you if you are shortlisted for the interview. It also helps us gather and analyse demographic information about our applicants. This part will only be seen by HR and will not have any impact on shortlisting.

If you’re a self-starter with an eye for detail and a flair for comms, we want to hear from you!
We’re hiring a Communications Assistant to play a critical role in LICC’s skilled and enthusiastic Communications Team, helping it deliver its day-to-day responsibilities and contributing to the growth and impact of LICC’s mission.
The successful candidate will get stuck in with a wide range of tasks including web and email design and build, social media content generation and management, podcast management, press office activity, and more.
The Communications Team exists to ensure LICC’s vision and offering are clearly communicated both to those who already follow us and to new strategic audiences. As Communications Assistant, you’ll help thousands of Christians discover how God is working through them in their everyday lives – and play a key role in connecting them to resources and training that will equip them to make a difference with Jesus right where they are.
This is a part-time (two days per week), fixed-term, maternity cover role, running from September 2024 to August 2025. It can be fulfilled remotely, though the post-holder may choose to work in LICC’s central London office if they wish. If the post-holder is working remotely, they will be required to attend the office at least one Tuesday per month. The role’s hours can be distributed flexibly across the week; however, due to the schedule of work required, the post-holder must be able to work on Thursday afternoons.
