Job Title:

Salt Director Residency

This is a FULL-TIME position.

To develop healthy Salt Directors who are prepared to lead from day one of a church plant or established Salt.

Four elements:
Experience, Education, Exposure, and Embodiment - each asking one question:

“What do they need to do?”

• Experience is provided through the day-to-day job they are being asked to do in their context. Our recommendation is to have a role that helps develop the skills of being a director within their team. Ideally, this looks like ownership of an area of ministry where they have the opportunity for their leadership of self, strategy, and people to be observed.
  
  Ideal ministry opportunities might include:
  Associate Directing, Freshmen Ministry, Leading CGroups, Leader Care, Evangelism Team, Captains, ect.

“What do they need to learn?”

• Monthly development blocks over two semesters focused on two aspects of directing:
  The Leadership of a Director and the Responsibility of a Director. The Leadership of a Director focuses primarily on skills, where the Responsibility of a Director focuses primarily on structure. The first semester is dealing with the question “Who am I as a leader?” in these four areas, and the second semester deals with “how will I lead what I’m leading?”
  
  as a Director. Ideally, this is helping to form the character and practices of a Director as they lead themselves, the stage, their staff, and The Salt Company. We’ll provide access to your candidate and to anyone on your team to a Pathwright Course that will guide them through the eight months of content, along with a monthly cohort call with the Director of Salt Company National.
