Christian Jobs Roundup (week ending 23 May 2026)

There's a good mix of roles on Eden.co.uk this week, covering everything from senior leadership to frontline community work. Here's a look at some of the standout postings.

Leadership and operational roles

A few notable leadership positions have come up. The Gavins Foundation in Sheffield is hiring both a Head of Operations and a Head of Communications — two roles central to their work in the Christian charity sector. Stewardship needs a Finance Business Partner in London, which would suit someone with a solid finance background. On the operations side, the Berkshire and Hampshire Borders Methodist Circuit is looking for an Operations Manager to oversee a network of twenty-five churches, and Charity Jobs NI has an Operations Manager post going for the Belfast School of Theology.

Youth and community work

There's plenty for anyone drawn to youth and community work too. Scripture Union England & Wales has posted several Mission Enabler roles — one in South Wales, another covering West, North and North West London — both focused on helping churches connect with children and young people. Elsewhere there's a Youth Worker post at Clevedon Baptist Church and a Children, Youth and Families Minister role at Claines, St George's & St Stephen's Churches in Worcester. The Cross Teach Trust wants a Schoolsworker with teaching experience to work in UK schools, and The Bridge Youth Project is recruiting a School Chaplain in Salisbury.

Unusual and specialist roles

A few of the more unusual roles are worth a mention. Cardiff Methodist Circuit is after a Faith through Music Pioneer to reach young adults through contemporary music. For work with older people, the Berkshire and Hampshire Borders Methodist Circuit has a Pastoral Worker with Older People role centred on care home ministry. And City Life Church Southampton is looking for a Street Light Chaplain and Outreach Worker to support people experiencing homelessness.

Residential programmes at Ellel Ministries

Finally, Ellel Ministries has posted a large batch of residential programme roles across their UK centres. These come with the chance to live and work as part of a community, and range from a Cottages Housekeeper and Social Media Content Creator to various catering, hospitality and maintenance posts. There's also a Marketing Manager vacancy.

That's just a sample of what's currently listed. If any of these catch your eye, you'll find the full details for these and other roles in the Eden.co.uk Job Directory.
