NEW HORIZON IS SEEKING A COMMUNICATIONS/MEDIA COORDINATOR
Dear Friends
The Board of New Horizon is seeking a gifted Christian who is excited by this vision to serve with us in the role of Communications/Media Coordinator.
Our purpose statement is:
New Horizon exists to be used by God, through the power of His Spirit to inspire a selfless surrender to His Son, a radical obedience to His Word, an enduring passion for His Kingdom and an unconditional love for His World.
Since 1989, New Horizon has been running a refreshing, challenging and relevant ministry week in Coleraine each summer including Evening Celebrations, morning Bible Teaching, Seminars and youth and children’s programmes. It is one of the largest Christian events in Ireland, involving approximately 5000 people daily over the course of the week. We are intentionally trans-denominational and pan-evangelical, seeking unity in Christ and the core of the gospel, accepting diversity around it and creating space to learn together from Scripture.
One of the amazing distinctives of New Horizon is that it is delivered by a body of over 400 volunteers. These are coordinated by a volunteer Management Team consisting of people with responsibilities in ten areas: Site; Stewarding/Health & Safety; Prayer Ministry; Mission; Media; Finance; Seminars; Youth and Children’s Programme; Technical; and Hospitality.
The Communications/Media Coordinator will support the New Horizon Board as part of the Management Team and will be responsible for developing an effective communications strategy and relevant communications policies along with creating, overviewing, and issuing all communications in relation to NewHorizon across all media platforms throughout the year. They will also attend the annual event, coordinating the communications/media team to ensure high-quality recording and dissemination of the event’s content. It is expected that the role will average 7 hours a week across the year with a heavier workload weighted towards the event.
The working patterns for this role must be flexible given the nature of the NewHorizon event.
This post is subject to an Occupational Requirement that the post holder is a committed evangelical Christian under Part 1 of Schedule 9 of the Equality Act 2010.
