  • Closing Date: Thursday 26th June 2025

Role Introduction:

ENC is recruiting for two part time positions to replace our current full time Admin Manager. We are looking for an excellent Engagement Lead and a brilliant Operations Assistant who will strengthen our community and boost our operational effectiveness. *

The Engagement Lead is a brand new role at ENC which has been created to develop the culture of welcome and connection across our church. The role combines front-of-house hospitality, communications, and community engagement. The postholder will be a key relational presence in the church, ensuring the community is supported and well-connected. The successful applicant will independently lead and coordinate a growth of connection and engagement in church activities, enabling the whole church to flourish and see ‘On earth as in heaven’ for Exeter and beyond.

At ENC, we are committed to professional development opportunities and offer benefits including regular training, coaching and mentoring support to integrate into the role during the probation period.

Church Profile:

At Exeter Network Church, we love seeing people come to Jesus and be transformed by him.  We are a diverse community of about 300, a Bishop’s Mission Order in the city centre of Exeter.  We are committed to showing Jesus to those outside the church, to living a life empowered by the Holy Spirit, and to telling the story of the Bible.

Over the past 19 years, our church has grown from a church plant to a medium sized church, while planting other churches. It is an exciting time to join our thriving team of staff and volunteers. We are a passionate and engaging team, committed to seeing the church's strap line become a reality; 'on earth as in heaven'. All of us have a desire to take a full and visible part in the life of the church, as good role models for all ages, bringing an energy and collaboration to our activities. We value high participation, joyful celebration and a lively expectation that God is always at work.
