Children and Families Worker

The Parish of Christ the King is seeking a Children and Families Worker who is passionate about engaging creatively to communicate God’s loving grace to the children and families of our parish. We are looking for someone with the skills to work with the ministry team to grow and develop missional work in our context. We want to work with the successful applicant to see how their passions and talents can bear fruit here, nurturing whatever gifts they will bring to the role and open to discovering how they can fit into it. Previous experience in this ministry is desirable but not essential, and the successful applicant would be working in a collaborative team that will support and stretch one another. You won’t be expected to do it all, but would be a core part of enabling a shared vision for mission to Children and Families to come to reality!

Together with a Children and Families worker we are particularly aiming to:

• reach out to families in our area, building relationships and community as well as engaging them with the story of faith;
• nurture the families who already attend our churches, enabling their faith to flourish and their children to be equipped to explore faith as they grow and mature;
• enable and equip the existing congregations to be confident in their own ministries to younger people;
• work primarily with families of primary-age children or younger, but experience or enthusiasm for work with older young people would add value to this post.

Full-time, part-time and jobshare applicants are invited to apply with rates calculated pro-rata.
