Seconded Staff
- We are looking for people who share our vision! FH/UK is pleased to offer the following opportunities to UK applicants for holistic ministry. Holistic ministry fully integrates the physical with the spiritual and therefore the candidate's Christian testimony will be as important as his or her professional background.
- These positions are not funded by FH. Candidates are "sent" by their home churches. We work with candidates to raise and administer the required support, so a strong and supportive "sending" church will be very important.
- All positions listed here are subject to Disclosure at Enhanced Level by the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB). Further information, including the CRB Code of Practice, is available at www.disclosure.gov.uk
- To enquire about opportunities with Food for the Hungry, please email uk@fhi.net with brief details, stating any specific positions that interest you.
