Could you be our next children’s worker who helps our younger disciples connect with God, know His love, grow in faith, and learn how to show that love to the world? 

We are looking for a passionate and creative children’s worker to join our vibrant children, youth and families team. This role is for someone with a heart to serve, nurture and disciple primary aged children and equip them to show Jesus’ love to others. If you have a longing to see children connect with God in meaningful and joy-filled ways this role might be for you!

At St Mary’s, children and youth ministry sits at the heart of who we are. You’ll join a team committed to the Church of England’s call to become a younger, more diverse church and to ‘double the number of children and young active disciples’. You will play a key role in shaping the life of our children, youth and families’ ministry working as part of a team alongside our 0-4s Worker and Youth Worker and being line managed by our Children, Youth and Families Director. Your primary focus each week will be to plan, prepare and develop engaging Junior Church Sunday sessions and weekly worship assemblies in St Mary’s Primary School. In Junior Church you will also lead the team of volunteers, equipping, supporting and communicating regularly with them.

Your heart will be to serve, nurture and disciple primary aged children to know more about God, grow in their faith and equip them to show Jesus’ love to others, whether that is in Junior Church, local primary schools or through adhoc outreach community/schools events.

A key part of this role is relational; loving and listening to others, recognising what the needs are, and building strong relationships with the children, their families, Junior Church Team, schools and staff.

Alongside the core responsibilities, there’s freedom to bring your own creativity and personality to the role and even to explore new ideas if you wish, with no pressure to expand beyond what’s realistic in a part‑time position.

This is going to be more than a job, this is a calling to show Gods love in action to one of the most disadvantaged commuities in the UK.
