Lymington Rushmore Female
Schools and Student Worker

(FULL-TIME)

About Lymington Rushmore
Lymington Rushmore is a Christian ministry that
seeks to share the good news of the Lord Jesus
Christ with young people by resourcing the work
of chaplains and other Christian staff in schools
through term time, and by running residential
events (‘camps’) in the holidays.  We currently run
two Christmas House parties (one for those in
school years 12 and 13, and one for students); two
Easter Revision Weeks (for those sitting GCSEs
and A Levels); four Senior Summer Camps
(school years 9-13) and three Junior Camps
(school Years 6-8), as well as occasional events
through the year for teachers, those starting
gap years and university, students, and our wider
leadership teams.  The historic focus of our work
has been with independent schools, but we are
keen to explore possible links with school staff
and pupils in any sector.

You can read more about us at
lymingtonrushmore.org and the work of our sister
camps at on titustrust.org. In dependence on
the love of God the Father, the grace of God the
Son, and in the power of God the Holy Spirit, we
seek to grow in living out the Titus Trust’s values
of being loving, humble, trustworthy, joyful and
serving – and repent of ways in which we’ve failed
to do that in the past.

About you
We are looking for a prayerful, humble, faithful,
and servant hearted individual with a love for
the Lord Jesus, His Word, and for young people.
You will need gentleness and pastoral sensitivity
as well as experience of working with young
people in a ministry context. You will also need
experience of teaching the Bible in a variety
of settings. You will need to take initiative in
developing areas you are given responsibility for.
You will need to cope with spending up to seven
weeks a year away from home living in a close-
knit community – and we hope those times, while
full of challenges, will be a joy!

While experience of our camps may be helpful,
we would also welcome applications from those
who haven’t been involved in the Titus Trust
before, and value the new insights, perspectives
and opportunities that could bring.
