Are you a committed Christian who is passionate about the persecuted church and the mission of Open Doors?
Do you want to encourage the church in the UK?
Would you like to help bridge the gap between the UK church and the persecuted church?
Open Doors is a Christian charity that is looking to recruit active, practicing Christians to stand in the GAP (give, act, pray) on behalf of persecuted Christians worldwide. Every day, millions of Christians risk their lives to follow Jesus. In more than 70 countries, Open Doors supports them by supplying Bibles, providing emergency relief and helping persecuted believers stand strong for the long-term.
We’re looking for a Christian* to join our Supporter Relations Team, to help us honour and build relationships with our supporters and inspire them to continue to support the persecuted church. This will involve answering and making phone calls to churches, volunteers and other supporters, and communicating with them by email and face-to-face at events.
You’ll need to be confident using our systems and following procedures, competent in your IT skills, good at inspiring people, listening to them, facilitating their requests, and be comfortable praying with our supporters over the phone. Most importantly, you’ll need excellent people skills.
You will have the opportunity to use your God-given character and talents to contribute to the work of Open Doors and to work with integrity and with purpose. We offer a flexible role with a good work-life balance with huge job satisfaction and the chance to shape and influence your work. You will work with some inspirational people and there are plenty of opportunities to develop your career.
For an informal chat about the role, you’re welcome to contact our Supporter Relations Team Leader or Supervisor on 01993 460015.
