Join our Comms Team
The Woodlands Church Family (WCF) is a vibrant, growing family of churches with eight sites located across the city of Bristol. Our vision is to see Bristol transformed through the love and power of God as we create spirit-filled, visible communities of faith in neighbourhoods across the city.
The majority of our guests and members at Central connect with us online in some way before they ever come through the door. People find out about us through the internet, our website and social media, including watching our Sunday services online. This is why our communications work is key in helping to deliver the good news of Jesus to every person in Bristol and beyond.
ABOUT THE ROLE
You will assist the Communications Lead, with a focus on building and improving our social media presence. You will help Woodlands communicate effectively to people wishing to explore faith, as well as to our existing church family about connecting into church life. You will create and publish engaging content on our channels, (primarily Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube) and help us share experiential content using innovative concepts and ideas.
You will be free to develop and execute campaigns and write compelling copy that drives engagement and growth. There will also be occasional projects where this role will design printed materials to match in with digital content as well. We have a new branding guide which will set the style and tone of your work, so our content will have a consistent look and feel.
Occupational Requirement
As a church family we want to make disciples who make disciples. We therefore seek to create a culture and environment in our churches where every team member and volunteer is able to encourage and inspire one another and the many people who pass through the doors each day, to pursue that vision.
The role is based at Woodlands Church in Clifton, Bristol. As a member of the staff team, you will be joining a faith community that meets to worship and pray together every week, and we share prayer and worship moments throughout the day. Around the building, you’ll often come across teams or individuals praying over their work and really speaking the language of faith.
Therefore, the role has an occupational requirement that the post holder be a follower of Jesus and worshipping member of Woodlands Church Family, Woodlands Central (if not already) to ensure protection of our strong Christian ethos and values, and our charitable objective of advancing the Christian faith. We also want to ensure all team members thrive and flourish in this environment.
Right to Work in the UK
We have a legal responsibility to ensure that all our employees have the legal right to live and work in the UK. Therefore, please only apply if you are eligible to work in the UK as we will have to verify this before you can start work.
