Jobs

As an evangelical ministry, The Message’s mission and core compel us to apply a Christian approach to our work. It is therefore a ‘genuine occupational requirement’ that post holders must be committed Christians who believe in the Lordship of Christ and the authority of scripture, and who want to see the Christian message communicated effectively to young people and communities.

We are, however, a very broad church and as long as applicants for these positions are practicing Christians and will bring a Christian heart and mind to the role it doesn’t matter what creed or church tradition they are part of.

The Message is an evangelical Christian charity who believe in the Lordship of Christ and the authority of scripture, and who wants to see the Christian message communicated effectively to young people and communities.

As a Christian organisation, we believe in the power of prayer and how this benefits our personal and professional lives. That’s why we intentionally make space in your working day to pray.

Every morning we gather together for a prayer meeting, with live worship led by our worship band. On Tuesdays we open up the on-site prayer hut, which we encourage all staff to attend as we pray for specific areas of work. On Wednesdays, we meet in our teams and pray for work and our personal lives.

Not only that, but once a month we have a Prayer Day. This is where we’re encouraged by different aspects of the organisation, as well as press into prayer and worship, get inspired by the word of God and recharge for the mission work we do.

Having good work/life balance is a key aspect of the culture of The Message. That’s why we have parental and adoption leave, with an Enhance Maternity Pay for those eligible. Flexible working is also available (job dependant), so that you can make it work with your family.

We offer 10% discount at Message owned business, including our on-site café, The Mess Café.

As a charity worker, you’re also eligible to discounts through Charity Worker Discounts.

We’re so thankful for those who are part of The Message for long parts of their careers, and as a thank you, we offer two extra days holiday and increased pension contributions after 5 years, and private medical insurance after 10 years. Plus, we give certificates every 5 years of service at our Prayer Days.

As well as pastoral care, pension schemes and free tea and coffee in the offices, we offer lots of health and wellbeing benefits. We offer free access to Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) which gives 24-hour mental health support, access to counselling, and lots of advice and tips for mental wellbeing.

We offer cycle to work schemes and free eye tests.

Plus, we’re mates on a mission, so we have a great culture with our fellow employees, holding charity-wide events, including our Christmas parties.
