Voluntary Discipleship Ambassadors (part time)
ETS is a small but growing UK based Christian charity, which is looking to expand its discipleship and evangelism training throughout the UK and the English-speaking nations.
We are looking for a people of faith who can identify with our aims; a mature Christian who is comfortable in networking with Church leaders. Although this is a voluntary position, we anticipate that this role may be salaried at some point in the future.
In our present phase, we require Ambassadors in all regions of the UK. As an ETS Ambassador, you will be our first contact to many pastors and leaders in both the UK and to other English-speaking nations. Therefore, your main role is to open doors and to reflect our passion and ability to make disciples of all nations, through our unique one-day training and manuals. Once the door of opportunity has been opened, we can take over and explain in more detail.
As our ETS Ambassador, your role will involve reaching out to churches to promote our discipleship and evangelism training. This will be by targeted emails, letters, and phone calls, which will be backed up and supported by our Admin and Fundraising Officers.
ETS is based in Peterborough, and we expect any applicant to work from home/remote (hybrid) along with attending meetings over zoom. We will only interview applicants who are UK based. There may be occasional team meetings at Allia Business Centre, Peterborough, but traveling costs will be reimbursed, along with phone calls and other approved expenses.
Salary: This is a voluntary role and you are expected to pay your own taxes (if applicable)
Hours of work: This is a part-time role and we will negotiate the hours per month, but these can be carried out at different times during the week.
We would require a commitment of three months, with the possibility of extension.
Safeguarding: Appointment will be subject to a satisfactory DBS check.
Registered Charity
1 - 5
Our mission is to fulfil the above vision throughout the world, as God opens doors, in accordance with the Great Commission of Jesus.
