The Vacancy
I’m Phil and I live in Dennyloanhead with my parents. I'm a son, a brother, an uncle, a friend, a writer and a film critic.
I'm looking to recruit a Personal Development Worker that considers themselves a walker and a talker as I am very interested in films and enjoy discussing them on walks. I'm also an avid reader so if you know your King from your Barker and Pratchett from Le Carre then I'd like to hear more from you.
I need someone who can keep up with me and isn't afraid to laugh at South Park jokes and who can give and take constructive critique.
A driver is essential and you’ll need to be confident travelling to Glasgow and the surrounding area (think of it as our own mini road trip adventure!). Don’t worry, I have my own automatic car—you just need to be happy behind the wheel.
Take one step closer to life-changing work and help me to live my good life.

Ministry Assistant Scheme Information Starting in September 2026, St Ebbe’s Church is seeking to appoint a team of Ministry Assistants (MAs) to be with us for one year, with a possible second. We are a lively, diverse, multi-congregation, evangelical, city-centre church. We are made up of Oxford University undergraduates and postgraduates, families, young adults, elderly, people affected by homelessness, and those from our local parish, one of the more deprived areas of Oxford. As a St Ebbe’s MA you would get involved in every aspect of our life together as God’s family, working alongside and embedded in one of our ministry teams. Why do we have a Ministry Assistant team? St Ebbe’s has a passion to see God glorified through reaching out, building up and sending out. The MA scheme is a key part of that vision, as we seek to train and build up God’s people for a lifetime’s service. We want to enable those on the scheme both to capture a vision for full-time Christian ministry and to discern whether they are suited to it. The various aspects of the scheme aim to do this: training in Christian ministry, particularly teaching God’s word, putting this into practice with focussed ministry in a variety of contexts and practical service of the church. Each Ministry Assistant focusses their work in one main ministry area: e.g. undergraduate ministry, postgraduate ministry, 20-30s ministry, young mums, youth or parish and homeless ministry. This is a context where key skills can be observed, practised and developed. It includes prayer, overseeing a small group Bible study and meeting up one-to-one to read the Bible with Christians or non-Christians. A key part of the scheme is working alongside a senior staff member as a mentor. You will have an opportunity to see ministry life close up, with all its struggles and pain, as well as joys and fulfilment. Your mentor will oversee your involvement in the ministry and meet with you regularly for pastoral care and ministry development. Each of the team is usually also involved in some area of children’s and youth ministry (Sunday and mid-week clubs) which gives a breadth to the training and experience of church life, in addition to personal study of God’s word. St Ebbe’s hosts the regional Ministry Training Course (see here), which runs on Tuesdays. All MAs are part of the course along with around 50 others from the region. With Bible expositions, doctrine, practical ministry, workshops and a detailed Bible overview it’s a wonderful part of the training the scheme provides. As a busy city-centre church, we have a full diary and lots of activities taking place week by week. MAs serve these very practically, as each week time is given to moving chairs, organising events and generally assisting the smooth running of church life. Who are we looking for? • Those who love Christ and are seeking to grow as his disciple. • Those discerning their suitability for set-apart gospel ministry. • Those with a passion to serve Christ’s church, including in practical tasks. • Those committed to our Declaration of Faith (see the Application Form). What are the goals of the scheme for each Ministry Assistant? Our overall aim for the scheme is to enable a wide range of people to gain a vision and a passion for Christian ministry with the prayer that suitable candidates would continue on to further training and ministry. To enable this we aim to develop three areas: • To help grow in Christ-like character, through many opportunities to listen to God in his word, by serving practically, by being part of the team and through the personal oversight of their ministry mentor. • To develop strong gospel convictions that will stand them in good stead for a lifetime of service. • To develop competence in teaching God’s word, through the opportunities they have had to teach others and the feedback they have received, as well as a range of other skills. What is distinctive about the St Ebbe’s Ministry Assistant Scheme? Opportunities to teach the Bible, to share life, to be trained in ministry and be shaped by service are common to a number of other schemes. However, each scheme is different and serving as an MA at St Ebbe’s will give you a distinctive experience in the following ways: • Being a member of a city-centre church with multiple ministries and multiple congregations. There is a real breadth of ministries at St Ebbe’s. • We seek to offer a rounded experience, offering equal opportunity for training, practical service and ministry. • Being a member of a large staff team, benefitting from the focussed support and input of your ministry mentor. • Gaining hands-on experience of a diversity of ministries across the church family whilst focussing on one particular ministry area. • Benefitting from the South Central Ministry Training Course and sharing with other MAs, as well as church members, from across the region. • Enjoying the unique place that...

About you:
You’re a team player with a caring, proactive attitude. You enjoy working with children and young people and are calm, patient, and positive in your approach.

Eleanor Rathbone Professor of Contemporary European History
Academic
Deadline: Monday 26 January 2026
The Faculty of History is seeking applications for the Eleanor Rathbone Professorship of Contemporary European History, available as soon as possible.
This new senior post is intended to reinforce Oxford’s reputation as a major centre for research and teaching in the field of Contemporary European History. We wish to appoint a historian who will extend the Faculty’s expertise into the history of the European present. We would welcome applications from scholars with expertise in the history of Europe from the 1970s onwards and who engage with the history of the European present in the early twenty-first century and the profound changes that have taken place in many areas of Europe over the last twenty-five years.
The Rathbone Professor will be based at St Antony’s College, where they will maintain and develop the legacy of the work and scholarship undertaken on the contemporary history of Europe by Professor Timothy Garton Ash. It is intended that the appointee will be an established scholar who will combine innovative scholarship and teaching with a wider profile of intellectual engagement. Their work should engage with the history of contemporary Europe as a whole, challenging conventional paradigms of east and west in the era of the Cold War. They will be expected to lead the growth of Contemporary European History within Oxford, including new teaching options on recent and current European history, funded grant applications, workshops, public events and outreach, broadly defined.
Applicants should possess an excellent record of innovative archival research using one or more European languages; a significant record of publications; the capacity to inspire others; and an ability to communicate the importance of history for an understanding of the contemporary identity of Europe.
For more information and to apply please visit the Oxford University jobs site. The closing date for applications is 12:00 noon UK time on Monday 26 January 2026. Interviews are expected to be held in spring 2026.
Informal enquiries are welcome and may be made in strict confidence to Professor Martin Conway, Chair of the History Faculty Board (martin.conway@history.ox.ac.uk).

We are looking for an able and reliable man to take on the role of Assistant Pastor, to serve Sawtry Church.
Church Profile
Kingfisher Church – History
Kingfisher Church meets in the village of Little Paxton, just North of St. Neots, located between Bedford and Cambridge. Little Paxton has a population of approximately 4000, and in many ways feels like a suburb to the town of St. Neots; it was planted by St. Neots Evangelical Church in 2013.
Kingfisher Church was planted with a vision for planting; and has been prayerfully exploring opportunities to plant churches North of Little Paxton in areas where there is a lack of local gospel churches.
Kingfisher Church – Today
The church is affiliated to the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches. It is conservative evangelical in belief and contemporary and informal in style. The church meets in the local primary school. There are 73 members and about 70-80 attending on a Sunday morning. Just under 50% of these members live in Little Paxton, the remainder travel from further afield.
The church is led by four elders, two of these are full-time staff elders (lead & trainee pastors). We also have a part-time administrator. The church’s How we do Church together contains the Statement of Faith, Members’ Covenant, and a description of how we have agreed to be a church together.
Kingfisher Church – Future
The church is about to begin holding Sunday services in Sawtry. It is hoped that this will become a fully independent church, working in active partnership with Kingfisher Church. Sawtry is a large village with a growing population of approximately 6000. The congregation will begin monthly meetings in January 2026 with around 12 adults; with the plan to meet weekly from Easter 2026.

The elders’ shared responsibility is:
- Setting an example in godly living, both personally and in family life,
- Ensuring the church is faithfully taught in the Bible, through public teaching, small groups, and personal mentoring, and to guard against false teaching – the elders will use the 1689 Baptist Confession as a teaching standard for the church,
- Praying regularly for the whole church family,
- Equipping the whole church for works of service,
- To lead in the church with humility, exercising their authority according to the Scripture and Christian love, and so are ultimately responsible for organising all the church’s activity.
