We have sufficient funding to resource this project well for five years, in which time we hope to grow four new ministries through music, one at each of our churches.
We are looking for a special person to work with our musical director on a full-time basis, to make this project a success. You don’t need to be a musician at all, but you do need to be someone who is good at relating to and caring for young people, a capable self-starter who is confident with social media. We seek someone who is imaginative and able to work well with others to achieve aims, who knows how to be accountable and who loves God.
Your role will be to work with our musical director to set up each group, to recruit to each group, to liaise with families, to help host each group, to act as a link into church life and to provide interesting and imaginative opportunities for young people and their families to find out more about God.
This is a genuinely unique and well-resourced role which could prove extremely satisfying for someone who is happy to work flexibly with, and champion, a range of church traditions. The post will require regularly working on Sundays and some early evening work.
We offer six weeks’ annual leave, a starting salary of £33,000 plus pension contributions, regular management and oversight meetings and reimbursement of travel between venues.
Closing date: Monday 16th February at 12 noon.
Interviews: Thurs 26th Feb (afternoon).
