Description of Job

Do you love creating space where children and families can encounter Jesus? Are you someone who enjoys shaping ministry thoughtfully, prayerfully and with imagination? If you’re energised by reaching families beyond the walls of the church, building relationships in the community, and developing new ways for children to grow in faith, this role offers an exciting opportunity.

We’re seeking a Children & Families Pastor to build on what God has already begun here – and to help shape what comes next. You’ll lead our Sunday group, nurture our midweek ministries, deepen our partnerships with local schools, and create welcoming spaces where children and families can grow in faith. Alongside this, you’ll have genuine room to develop new initiatives, explore fresh ideas, and help us imagine and establish the next chapter of our ministry. If you’re someone who enjoys building, shaping and dreaming with others, this role gives you the space to do exactly that.

If you are interested in joining us as we enter this new season with a refreshed vision and new staff team including a Parish Administrator & Communications Lead and a Youth Outreach Pastor, then we’d love to hear from you.

To apply, fill out and return the application form below to Revd. Jon Morley ([e-mail]) or contact Jon via email or on 07784741714 for an informal conversation about the role.
