The Anglican Diocese of Leeds is now recruiting for its Internship Programme which runs from September 2024 to July 2025.

As a young adult aged 18+, it’s an amazing opportunity to:

• grow your gifts and skills
• deepen your faith and understanding of the Bible and what it means to live as one inspired and formed into the likeness of Jesus
• help build the Kingdom of God through serving in a church in Leeds, Bradford, Wakefield or in other parts of the Diocese
• serve in a particular ministry such as children, youth, operations or worship; or, gain a broader experience through serving across many different areas of church life
• be equipped for life, work and leadership
• journey alongside other interns and build some great friendships.

“I would recommend this to anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of the Bible, the Church and what serving means as a Christian, but also anyone who wants to discover more about themselves, their value and identity in Christ.” Past Intern

Over the year, you will need to bring a willingness to be stretched and challenged and to serve with commitment.

The Diocese or placement church will provide you with accommodation (and pay utility bills), free training and support (through a placement supervisor, the church team, a mentor and the Internship team).
You are asked to fund only your daily living expenses (for example through a part-time job) but if this is not possible then some bursaries are available.

This is a volunteer position and carries no employment status.

For more information download our Internship brochure which can be found on our Diocese of Leeds Interns webpage .

Visas – we are really sorry but at this point in time we are unable to provide a certificate of sponsorship for those who do not have permission to reside in the UK.

Application forms can be obtained by emailing katharine.greathead@leeds.anglican.org.

Applications need to be submitted by the deadline of 15th May 2024.
