Do you love God, love His people and love preparing delicious and healthy meals? You might be just the person we’re looking for to join our team as a member of our Resident Community team with particular responsibility for covering in our kitchen when chef is not in.
What sort of person are we looking for?
Someone who above all else wants to grow in their own faith and help others to do the same. You need to have a sense of calling to be here – ie a sense that this is where God wants you at this time. You are joining a community and need to be committed to meeting and seeking God as a community and wider team. As well as cooking meals, you will need to be willing to serve and help out wherever needed although we do seek to place people on the teams they are most suited to, not just where there is a need. You would work closely with our chef, cooking meals according to his menu and recipes. You would need to have experience of cooking for large numbers.
What do we ask of you?
We ask for 30 hours service each week. Often this involves housekeeping, washing up, laying tables, serving at meal times, spending time with guests, helping welcome guests or covering reception. It may also involve helping in the gardens or painting. You will expected to join in with times of prayer and worship together as a team and spend time on your own regularly praying and reading the Bible. Depending on your age, confidence and experience you may be asked to lock up a couple of evenings a week and be on-call.
What do we offer you?
We offer a supportive and prayerful environment and if you feel it would be helpful, coaching or mentoring. We offer times of worship and prayer as a team and resident community. Accommodation and meals are provided and a small allowance to cover essentials. You will have two days off a week and additional time off for holidays. This is an ideal ‘time out’ to give you time to reflect on where God may be leading you next and how he may want you to grow.
How long can I come for:
We ask that people come for a minimum of 6 months as it takes time to settle in. We would normally suggest a maximum of one year initially with the possibility of extending this where appropriate.
