This is an 8-hour-a-week role from August 2026 to June 2027, including Sunday mornings, working closely with our Worship Pastor, Comms Manager and wider team. The role would suit someone with strong live sound experience, a good eye for production quality, and a passion for helping church worship and communication feel clear, engaging and excellent.
