Job description

Job Opportunity: Youth Worker (Part-Time)

We are excited to offer this role, where you will split your time 50/50 between Christ Church (CCS) and the Southport and Areas Schools Workers Trust (SASWT), www.saswtrust.com.

At Christ Church, our goal is to ensure every young person in Southport has the opportunity to meet the transformative God. We aim to connect with 200 young people (ages 0-18) by 2028. Currently, about 70 are connected, with approximately ten aged 11-16 attending on Sundays, plus a few aged 16-18, and around thirty attending our Friday Night Youth. This is supported by a team of around 15 volunteers.

Southport and Area Schools Workers Trust is a charity established in 1999, engaging with children and young people across over 20 primary and secondary schools in Southport and beyond. Our mission is to create safe spaces for exploring life's big issues and faith, through activities such as assemblies, RE & PSHE lessons, after-school clubs, lunchtime safe spaces, and more.

CCS is a founding supporter of SASWT, and both organizations share the vision of helping young people explore faith and meet Jesus. This role enables you to do so within a school setting, grounded in the church community. We seek someone passionate about connecting with young people and sharing the message of Jesus. Experience is not essential; we value enthusiasm and a calling to serve. You will join a small, dedicated staff team that works hard, has fun, encourages each other, and trusts God together.

This position comprises two permanent contracts of 18.75 hours each (one with each organization), totaling a full-time equivalent of 37.5 hours per week.
