  • 50% staff discount at food and drink at Parish Coffee, our in-house café.
  • Free on-site parking.
  • Use of on-site bike racks and shower facilities.
  • Be part of the church leadingBubble Churcha service for families and little ones, running in 47 churches across the UK.

What we expect from you:

  • You will embrace the vision and values of Ascension
  • You will have pastoral oversight of the children and young people (0-18s) who attend Ascension

  • You will be skilled at leading services up front with children and young people
  • You will develop and deliver great sessions for children and young people on Sundays and midweek
