Role
We’re looking for Ministry Assistants to join our staff team for 1 year in a role combining theological and leadership training, mentoring, and serving in one or more of our ministry departments. Departments currently seeking Ministry Assistants include:
- River Kids (0-10s)
- River Active (Sports)
If you would like to apply for an MA role in another department, we'd love to hear from you, too, but cannot guarantee availability at this time.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Ministry Assistants (MAs) will work up to 4 days per week: 3 days (21h) per week at River Church, and 1 day (5h) per week in our coffee shop, Applaud Coffee. On top of this we will enrol MAs on St Mellitus College’s Beginning Theology course (or allow day release for one of their degree courses). MAs will receive tickets to HTB’s Summit conference and Focus festival.
The Ministry Assistant role is ideal for someone taking their first steps into paid ministry, exploring a vocation, or just leaving education.
