Berwickshire Christian Youth Trust (BCYT) is a registered charity working in partnership with Scripture Union Scotland. As young people navigate the complexities of this modern world it is crucial we introduce them to Christ. We do this by working in schools, holiday clubs, missions and with churches.

The trust is seeking to appoint someone for 20 hours a week, which can be worked to fit the individual. Ideally, they would need experience of admin skills and working with children and youth. They need to work well in a team. The trust works across Berwickshire in the two high schools and associated primary schools. Developing and delivering presentations for school visits along with administrative work comprises a large part of the work. This post has an occupational requirement for the postholder to be a practising Christian, in accordance with the Equality Act 2010.

The successful applicant will be required to be registered with the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) scheme before taking up the post.

This Sunday for me has very much been an appreciative one - peaceful and truly blessed with warmth and joy!

Reflecting on it, the message I took home from Church this morning actually set the scene for my kind of day.

An extract from the Opening Prayer -

“God of joy and gentleness, we gather here this morning with grateful hearts.

Thank you for bringing us together, for familiar faces and new faces, and for the quiet strength we find in being your people.

Let this be a place where Hope feels possible, where Grace feels real, and where your Spirit moves among us with warmth and life”.

This brief video from earlier this evening epitomises just how blessed I feel, living here in Duns and being part of the community.

Good night, God bless my friends.
