Our congregation and PCC are excited to appoint a passionate practitioner who brings creativity, tenacity, and a heart for CYPF ministry. We are committed to considering people at different stages of their career - whether an experienced leader or an early-career candidate with strong potential.
We want every child and young person in Earl Shilton to be able to explore and discover their spirituality through the Christian faith by developing projects that thrive at the intersection between church, school and household.
We are committed to a two-pronged approach to attract the right person. Our intention is to recruit one person and we are open to considering people at different stages of their career and the role and renumeration would reflect that.
Experienced CYPF Worker
- For those with significant hands-on experience in children and youth ministry, school partnerships or community work, we offer a supportive environment to lead and expand our vision with autonomy and impact.
Early-Career CYPF Worker
- For passionate individuals at the start of their journey (e.g., recent graduates or those transitioning from related fields like teaching or volunteering), we prioritise potential, enthusiasm and a willingness to learn. This role is ideal for building your skills in a nurturing, low-pressure setting with dedicated mentorship and training to grow into leadership.
Together, we want to make a meaningful and lasting impact in the lives of children, young people and their families — implementing discipleship pathways for CYPF at the intersection of church, home and school.
We are seeking someone with:
- Living faith and a rooted Christ-centred spirituality.
- A shared vision for growth and hope.
- A passion for seeing CYPF thrive.
- Tangible skills in leadership, organisation and volunteer development (with room to develop these for early-career candidates).
