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.

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.
