Thank you for visiting us! And a bigger thank you if you shop with us. Besides helping to pay the bills, your purchases keep a place of witness and fellowship on the high street, something no online service can provide, and you enable us to contribute to literature ministry overseas where people are not as financially well-off as we are here in the UK.

Please let our staff know how we can improve our service to you, and PLEASE
let them know when we do something that you are happy with!! Yes, a little encouragement goes a long way!!

      VACANCIES for those sensing the Lord's call to literature ministry

There are a number of CLC opportunities described online. You will need a measure of personal financial support in most cases.

We wish to connect with Christians with a genuine passion for literature mission who wish to share their enthusiasm, experience and training in a wide range of roles and activities. If you believe that you have a skill and are attracted to the mission of CLC, contact us. 

We are a registered charity, a literature mission distributing Christian literature, Bibles, gifts and media throughout the UK and overseas through locally operated resource centres.  In the UK CLC operates 21 bookshops and is a wholesale distributor to the retail Christian trade, including online retailers. We also serve churches and organisations.

To grow the ministry even more , we are seeking people who share the vision and mission of CLC and who are able to bring strong management and leadership capability.  This could involve coordinating a team of volunteers and/or paid staff from Inverness to Canterbury and many points in between. Or it could be just you and a computer. If you have relevant business operations training and/or experience and believe you should now apply those skills into a ministry context please call and talk about your interest. 

We are keen to hear from you if you are excited about the possibilities of how you might fit into our mission. If you feel that this is you, then after reading below, send an email here for more details.

Please pass this information on to anyone who may have relevant skills and interest.

We urgently need a number of suitably qualified people. Please note that most posts will require some level of personal support (from friends, family, church, etc). These roles that are not salaried do not constitute employment, though CLC can supply some funding. Please read the last section for more details.

Bookshops - Opportunities exist in many cities. In addition to general sales staff, some trainee manager positions are also open.

Wholesale - openings exist for people to get involved in a variety of tasks such as order processing, customer service, goods receiving, restocking shelves and database management.

IT Support - This part-time role would require some travel for the successful applicant who has the relevant IT experience and knowledge. When not dealing with IT matters the successful applicant would ideally be based at our wholesale distribution centre.

Website Design & Development -  The applicant will have suitable website experience and knowledge so as to be able to keep the website fresh and updated via backgrounds, banners, pop-ups etc.

HR Assistant - The role includes maintaining and updating personnel records and documents, updating HR needs on the website, processing new starters, collecting and transmitting monthly payroll data, giving support on general HR admin tasks, supporting recruitment processes, creating and maintaining HR best practices.

===================
CLC is well-known for its non-employee policy here in the UK. But things are changing....

A fact not appreciated by many is that CLC has employees in each of the other 56 nations where we are present. The UK and US ministries maintained the personal support system begun way back in the 1940’s. But even CLC USA adopted a salary structure a few years ago, while still maintaining their current non-employed system, so as to recruit bookshop staff. Like our colleagues over the pond, CLC UK now has a hybrid support system for its workers. Some of our vacancies, therefore, are now open to employment.

Funding for our fulltime volunteer staff comes from two main sources: while CLC can cover some domestic costs, friends, family, churches and so on supply the rest. A small non-guaranteed allowance is also available, donations permitting. This support system has enabled us to make donations to many and varied book-related charitable organisations and projects around the world, plus the UK ministry has pioneered, developed and maintained several CLC ministries worldwide.

If you, your group or your church would prayerfully consider supporting a CLC worker financially or in prayer, please contact me for further information. Our folks need both types of support; it's that simple.
