The Church of Scotland is seeking a creative and visionary Training Development Worker to help inspire and equip
people across our Church for deeper discipleship, mission, and lifelong learning. This is a role for someone who
believes in the transformative power of Christian formation and wants to help congregations, leaders, and
communities grow in confidence, faith, and impact.
In this role, you will shape the learning resources that help people discover their calling, strengthen their faith,
and serve with imagination and courage. You will contribute to the design and development of engaging
materials—written, visual and digital—that support discipleship and leadership across congregations and
presbyteries. You will bring ideas to life through film, scripts, guides and creative digital content, helping
ensure that learning is accessible to people wherever they are.
Working collaboratively across the Faith Action Programme, you will contribute to the growth of Church of Scotland
Learning on our Circle platform by refreshing existing materials, analysing engagement, and helping to maintain
and enhance our Ascend website.
You will bring a strong understanding of mission and discipleship, experience in developing learning materials, and
an ability to communicate across a wide range of audiences and theological perspectives. You will be comfortable
with digital tools, confident managing projects, and motivated by seeing others grow through the resources you
help create.
This post carries a Genuine Occupational Requirement for the postholder to be a committed Christian with an active
church connection, in line with the Equality Act 2010.
If you are energised by the opportunity to resource the Church, to support faith formation, and to take a creative
role in shaping how people learn, lead, and live out the gospel, we would be delighted to receive your
application.
