Cove Parish

We are a thriving church family with a heart to reach out to our wider community, demonstrating gracious generosity, and whole life worship whilst reflecting Jesus, inspiring hope and loving joyfully. Cove in Farnborough, North Hampshire is geographically and numerically a large, diverse, parish with 8, soon to be 9 schools, expensive housing developments together with estates with a high amount of social housing. We are a 5 minute drive from Farnborough town centre with shops, restaurants and a cinema and the parish is blessed with large green spaces, wooded areas and several country parks.

We are one family and are privileged to have two church buildings (a smaller Victorian church and a more flexible building). Our two churches and parish are hives of activity all week hosting many outreach missional initiatives; Bumps and Babies and Little Fishes welcome and support new and young families. Open Door, Meeting Point, both Footprints cafes, and Cove Community lunch are a haven for those struggling with loneliness, the cold and hunger. With courageous faith we recently took over Farnborough Foodbank recognising the need within our town as it supports over 100 families every month. We regularly holds assemblies in schools, often accompanied by the Open the Book team.

Recruitment Pack

Children’s Worker (2/3 FTE) &

Families / Adults Worker (1/3 FTE)

St Andrew the Great is seeking to appoint a Children’s Worker to oversee ministry amongst
0-11s. This is an opportunity for a Bible-loving and well-organised Christian man or woman to
work  prayerfully  with  a  range  of  leaders  to  support  evangelism  and  discipleship  amongst
children, in partnership with parents.

At the same time, we are also seeking to appoint a Families / Adults Worker to participate in
ministry amongst ‘city’ adults (this covers parents and other adults who are not part of HUB
/  iHUB  /  Focus  ministries).  This  is  an  opportunity  for  a  Bible-loving  and  well-organised
Christian man or woman to work prayerfully with a range of leaders to support evangelism
and discipleship amongst adults.

Applications may be made to either one of these posts, or both together.

About us

St  Andrew  the  Great  (StAG)  has  a  diverse  congregation  which  reflects  our  location  in
Cambridge city centre. We mainly comprise four groups of people: undergraduates, 20-30s,
internationals, and ‘city’ members (adults who are not part of the other groups, plus under-
18s). That said, our motto for all we do is the same:

The gospel to Cambridge; gospel workers to the world.

As a church, we depend upon God in prayer and put teaching the Bible at the heart of all we
do as we believe it equips us with all we need in living for His glory. In the past 25 years, there
have been three church “grafts” to other local parishes and, most recently, a church plant to
Huntingdon in 2018. We are a member of ReNew, and the PCC has passed a resolution in line
with the House of Bishops’ declaration and receives additional oversight from the Bishop of
Ebbsfleet.

About the Children’s Worker role

The vision for our children’s work is that children would grow in a real and personal faith in
the Lord Jesus; we do this by supporting parents in their ministry to their children as the
primary Bible teachers and through faithful, engaging Bible teaching to the children in an
age-appropriate way on Sundays when the church family gathers.

StAG has over 140 under 11s in the church family, and we’ll typically see 90-100 at one of
our six children’s groups & three creches over our two Sunday morning services.

The role holder will work under the immediate oversight of the Associate Vicar and will have
administrative oversight of all the 0-11s children’s ministry as well as responsibility for all
the Bible teaching that happens within it.

Responsibilities for the Children’s Worker

There are three areas of focus: Bible teaching and evangelism, caring for and training
leaders, and partnering with parents.

1.  Bible teaching and evangelism

•  Developing a robust and effective curriculum and accompanying resources.
•  Planning the teaching for children’s groups and writing session briefs.
•  Growing, adapting or improving opportunities for regular outreach which currently

includes Christmas parties as well as a one-day holiday-club-style evangelistic event.
•  Depending on experience and aptitude, planning the teaching for the children's talk

slots in our Sunday morning services and coaching speakers before and after
delivery.

•  Depending on experience and aptitude, contributing to all age services, which might

include occasional preaching.

•  Speaking at events for local schools, such as Christian Unions and events in the

church building.

2.  Overseeing leaders

•  Recruiting, training and supporting leaders in teaching the Bible to children.
•  Maintaining excellent standards in safeguarding.
•  Running and coordinating training sessions for leaders, including at the monthly

prayer meeting for children’s leaders.

•  Setting an example of teaching and engaging with children.
•  Supporting the groups in giving effective feedback to one another.
•  Organising and managing volunteer rotas for crèches, actions and additional helpers

for Sunday groups and other possible one-off events (e.g. Day Away).

•  Pastoral care and support for leaders through regular meetings and catch ups
•  Connecting with the wider youth and children’s ministry scene in Cambridge, East

Anglia, and the Southeast of England, to give and receive support in youth ministry.

Page 2 of 6

3.  Partnering with parents

•  Partnering with families to understand how the StAG children’s ministry can best
support them including meeting with the parents’ advisory group once a term.
•  Maintaining and developing opportunities to envision and equip families in their

family discipleship (e.g. Families Together Lunch, termly training, joint leaders and
parents prayer meetings)

•  Promoting partnership between parents and leaders through communication

channels, socials, hosting, culture-setting, etc.

•  Regular prayer for StAG families.

Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) Practitioner

• Job Reference: 00004517-1
• Date Posted: 16 January 2026
• Recruiter: YMCA DownsLink Group
• Website: https://www.ymcadlg.org/
• Location: Staines, Surrey
• Salary: £32,565
• Role: Frontline jobs, Experts by Experience jobs
• Job type: Contract
• Work hours: Full Time

Job Description

37 hours per week / £32,565 per annum, pro rata / fixed-term Maternity cover (12 Months) / working Monday - Thursday 9.00-1700, Friday 9.00-16.30.

Application closing date: 8 February 2026

At YMCA DownsLink Group,  our mission is to help children and young people have a fair chance to be who they want to be. We do this by providing a safe home, building life skills and self-confidence, and supporting emotional wellbeing and mental health.

Our Values - we do what’s right, we work with heart, and we build real connections - guide and shape how we show up for children and young people we support and for each other.

YMCA What is Sexual Exploitation (WiSE) is our child sexual exploitation project which works with children and young people across Sussex and Surrey. Our primary focus of work is supporting young people affected by exploitation through raising awareness, education and empowerment.

We have an exciting opportunity to join the WiSE team as a Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) Practitioner. You will work alongside the Service Manager, Early Intervention Worker and two other practitioners, co‑located at Staines Police Station with the Exploitation Team. The role involves a significant amount of lone working with frequent travel across Surrey to see clients and attend meetings, with occasional travel further afield.

In delivering the role, you will involve carrying a caseload of young people aged 10‑25 who are vulnerable to sexual or criminal exploitation, providing intensive, client‑centred care and working closely with professionals across agencies.

Key responsibilities are:

• Manage a caseload of vulnerable young people and supporting them to stay safe and leave the influence of perpetrators
• Work with other professionals to deliver tailored care packages and provide consultation
• Maintain accurate case records and contributing to timely reports
• Liaise with Children’s Services, Surrey Police and other agencies to disrupt abuse and support prosecutions
• Deliver training and awareness‑raising workshops to professionals and foster carers
• Contribute to strategic development and deputising at relevant meetings

This is a challenging role where children and young people do not always identify the level of risk they are exposed to or the abusive nature of the relationships they are in. The support of victims can be distressing and emotionally demanding for the workers, consequently 1-to-1 clinical supervision, weekly team meetings and regular line management supervision of cases and wellbeing.

If you are enthusiastic about this opportunity but don’t meet every single requirement, we still encourage you to apply. Your skills and experiences may be more transferable than you think, and you could be exactly the person we’re looking for.

Qualifications, experience and knowledge:

• Qualification in Youth Work/Social Work or equivalent, or comparable experience working with vulnerable young people
• Proven experience in safeguarding young children
• Experience providing casework support young people aged 10 to 25 years old
• Group work experience with young people
• Safeguarding children and young people at risk of serious harm
• Delivering and risk assessing outreach work with young people
• Knowledge of risks posed to vulnerable young people through sexual exploitation and harmful sexual behaviour
