Pastoral Assistant
Little Mill Baptist Church
Little Mill Baptist Church has maintained a gospel witness in a small rural village in Monmouthshire for over 100 years. Over the past 15 years the work has developed and grown and now has an active membership of just under 20, but Sunday attendance of around 40. People have joined the church from the immediate community plus others who travel in from the surrounding area. It is made up of a wide variety of ages, backgrounds and cultures. Some members have been in the church for many years, while others have joined more recently, mainly from other churches. We have seen an increase in the number of younger adults and families as well as older people joining the fellowship.
For the past 10 years the church has enjoyed the leadership of two co-pastors. One has now retired and so the church is looking to appoint a part time assistant to complement the pastoral team.
Required Skills
We are looking for an enthusiastic man, keen to reach the lost and to increase our engagement with the community where the Lord has placed us. This is an exciting opportunity to help strengthen and grow our church family, encouraging and equipping believers in their faith, while reaching out to the surrounding communities with the gospel of Jesus.
We are looking for somebody with a godly character who reflects the scriptural pattern for eldership, and who senses a call to service and ministry.
We will seek to build on the distinctive strengths within the pastoral team, but responsibilities may include
• A share of the preaching
• Small group ministries
• Pastoral care
• Community outreach opportunities and initiatives and helping the church to strengthen its evangelism
• Ministry specifically focussed on children and young families and schools
Suitability:
This opportunity would be suitable for a man with a mature faith who has completed some form of theological training, demonstrated gifting in preaching and is looking for a first or second appointment. Alternatively the post would be open a man coming to the latter stages of his ministry who was looking to work with reduced hours and responsibility. The successful candidate would demonstrate a pastor's heart, be committed to prayer and the teaching of God's word in a variety of formats and settings, and willing to work with others in the Pastoral team to lead and shepherd the church.
Requirements:
• You will have been recognised by your current church as someone with the potential to meet the qualifications of an overseer as set out for leaders in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1.
• You will have shown evidence of the pastoral heart and aptitude of an under shepherd expressed in 1 Peter 5:1-4.
• You will be continuing to grow in your own personal daily walk and prayerful relationship with the Lord, which will be seen in your character.
• You will have an awareness of your own strengths and weaknesses, can work well with others as part of an eldership team, and be willing to be accountable to others.
• You have a heart to see the Church of Jesus Christ built up and increase for his glory.

This role may be perfect for you if you are currently, or have been, a Healthcare Assistant and are looking for a part-time role (minimum contract 22.5 hours). At Noah’s Ark you'll have opportunity to build on your experience and be trained to a more specialist level.
ABOUT NOAH'S ARK CHILDREN'S HOSPICE
We exist to help babies, children and young people with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions, and their families, make the most of every day. Our mission is to enable those we support to enjoy life as children, not patients; as families, not just as carers.
Because everyone deserves to live life as themselves, beyond their condition or circumstances. We do this by listening to families. We know one size doesn’t fit all, so we cater our services to each individual person we support. We can do this from the point of diagnosis.
Our help is available wherever it is needed. Our expert staff and trained volunteers can provide support in a families home, in the community, or at our state-of-the-art building, The Ark, in Barnet.
We work in collaboration with key NHS Trusts and other care providers to deliver the very best support to children and families. We have created a space where children with complex needs are accepted as they are, safe to play, explore, express themselves and build confidence.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We’re expanding our team and are looking for more Specialist Carers to join our charity. You’ll be joining an award-winning, certified Outstanding team, who do all they can to empower children and families to experience as much life as possible.
As a Specialist Carer, you’ll provide life-changing care for babies, children and young people with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions. You’ll do this by working in collaboration with their family, multidisciplinary teams and your other Noah’s Ark colleagues.
You’ll be encouraged to put the experience of children and families at the heart of all you do. As well as understanding their clinical needs, you’ll get to know what’s important to each child you support. Whether it’s knowing what their favourite song to listen to is, how they like to play, or what sooths them when they are sad - at Noah’s Ark it’s so important that each child is treated as an individual. You’ll focus on what children can do, rather than their limitations, and will support them to experience things they may never have thought possible.
And by providing care for children, either at our state-of-the art building, The Ark, or out in the community, you’ll be allowing parents and cares to take some time for themselves. The hours of care you’ll provide will make a huge difference, allowing them to live life outside of their child’s condition. By creating this time, you’ll be creating choice – something which can feel impossible for the families we support.
You will be a senior carer in our team and will pass on your skills and experience by supporting and training junior colleagues. You will actively lead care planning reviews, projects and meetings.
Your commitment to children and families will continue through to end-of-life care. You’ll be a guiding reassuring presence for families, and working with other healthcare professionals to create as much comfort as possible.
ABOUT YOU
You’ll have experience caring for babies, children and young people with complex health needs and will be competent in a range of complex nursing skills. You’ll understand the power of play and will enjoy creating experiences and activities for those you are caring for.
Aside from experience, we look for individuals who share our core values of kindness, excellence, and courage. We’ll support you to go above and beyond to be there for the children and families we support – we ask that you share this mission with us.
You’ll thrive working autonomously, confident in your ability to deliver care on your own out in the community. You’ll know the value of collaboration, and will work closely with your team members, other healthcare professionals and the families you support to provide the very best care.
Creativity and play will be central to your approach to care, with the ability to build long-term relationships with the children and families you care for.
You will understand and adhere to policies and procedures at all times, underpinned by competency in clinical skills, working under the delegation of a registered children’s ...

Vacancy: Postdoctoral Fellow in Sociology – SOFI, Stockholm University
The Postdoctoral position is part of the research programme “Sustainable synergies” (www.su.se/english/research/research-projects/sustainable-synergies). The aim of the programme, which is based on both internationally comparative research and in-depth analyses of Sweden and the Nordic countries, is to study how social policy and the welfare state can be developed to support a sustainable working life for everyone. In focus are the working-life transitions that individuals make during their lifecourse, and the programme examines how the interplay between different social policies can support successful transitions for different groups in the labour market. Potential interplays include between different policies within a policy area (e.g. education policy) as well as between different policy areas (e.g. health and pension policies). The programme builds upon quantitative data, and programme members make use of for instance comparative country-level data, comparative individual-level surveys, as well as individual-level register data from the Nordic countries.
Main responsibilities
Research within the programme is organized around five crucial life-course transitions: between school and work, work and family formation, work and ill health, work and retraining, and work and retirement. The postdoctoral research will be part of one or more of the work packages around these transitions, depending on research interests.
The postdoctoral researcher will be expected to develop and pursue independent research corresponding to that of the research program. An initial outline of research questions is to be included in the application in the form of a research plan. However, although independent research is essential, collaboration with senior colleagues is encouraged should opportunities arise.
Qualification requirements
In order to qualify for a Postdoctoral position, applicants are required to hold a Swedish doctoral degree or an equivalent relevant degree from another country. The degree must have been completed no later than when the employment decision is made.
Assessment criteria
The applicant must hold a doctoral degree in sociology or a related discipline. It is considered an advantage if the doctoral degree or an equivalent degree was completed no more than three years prior to the application deadline. Under special circumstances, an older degree may also be an advantage. Special circumstances refer to sick leave, parental leave, elected positions in trade unions, service in the total defense, or other similar circumstances, as well as clinical attachment or service/assignments relevant to the subject area.
In the appointment process, special attention will be given to:
- The quality of earlier research and qualifications
- The degree to which the applicant’s research plan and previous research support the overall goals of the Sustainable synergies program
- Skills and experience relevant for the analysis of life-course transitions and social policy using quantitative research methods
- Written and spoken English skills, where the applicant is expected to be fluent.
About the employment
The position involves full-time employment for a minimum of two years and a maximum of three years, with the possibility of extension under special circumstances. Start date 2026-03-02 or as per agreement.
The Swedish Institute for Social Research (SOFI) is part of the Faculty of Social Sciences at Stockholm University. The institute is an internationally leading research institute in the field of social policy, welfare, inequality and labour markets and has over 90 employees.
