St Mary Magdalene & Sale West Community Church are looking for a part-time Children's Worker to be part of a team focused on the Church of England’s vision to become ‘a church which is younger and more diverse’ and to ‘double the number of children and young active disciples’. We are committed to the Growing Faith initiative of the Church of England and, as a result, we are restructuring our staffing for children, youth and families to be able to fully commit to what we believe God is calling us to.
The Children’s Worker will be part of a new team which will serve, nurture, disciple and equip 0-18 year olds and their families to be disciples of Jesus. Whilst the primary focus of the Children’s Worker will be with primary aged children there will be an expectation that they will support aspects of our work with 0-4‘s and young people, working collaboratively in other areas with the Youth Worker, 0-4‘s Worker and the Children, Youth and Families Director. The same expectation will be on the rest of the team to support some aspects of children’s work. This job is for 14-18 hours a week, of which core times are Sunday mornings, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Occasionally we would like the Children’s Worker to be involved with the Fuel youth team on Friday evenings but are willing to discuss this further. There is some level of flexibility around the rest of the hours with an opportunity to develop new initiatives.
We are looking for someone with a heart and passion for children who has a desire that the lost know Jesus, those with a faith go deeper with Him, and who has a desire to see faith grow in the church, in homes and in schools.
The salary quoted is the FTE based on 37 hours per week. The hourly rate will be £11.95-£12.99 per hour dependent on experience.
