Help Rejuvenate the Church for Every Generation

As part of our Rejuvenate strategy, the Diocese of Portsmouth seeks to grow younger, deeper and more vibrant churches.We long to see thriving ministry for children, young people and families within reach of every household across our region.

We’re seeking to employ two part-time Children, Youth & Families Training Facilitators to equip and encourage those serving in ministry with children, youth and families.

About the Roles

You will deliver high-quality, engaging training and support for clergy, lay leaders and volunteers across the diocese – helping them nurture confident young disciples and build intergenerational communities of faith.

Working with the Diocesan CYF Officer, you’ll deliver national and diocesan initiatives such as Children’s Ministry Essentials, Youthscape Essentials, Open the Book, Prayer Spaces in Schools and the Annual Education Project.

About You

You will be:

This is an incredible opportunity to shape a generation of disciples and leaders through the Rejuvenate strategy.

The Diocese of Portsmouth is committed to creating and sustaining a diverse and inclusive workforce that represents our context and wider community. We are aware that those of United Kingdom Minority Ethnic/Global Majority Heritage, women and disabled people are currently under-represented among our clergy, and we particularly encourage applications from those with the relevant skills and experience that will increase this representation. The appointment will of course be based on merit alone. Enhanced DBS will be required.

There is a genuine occupational requirement for the role-holder to be a practicing Christian of a denomination which is a member of the Churches Together in Britain and Ireland in accordance with Schedule 9 to the Equity Act 2010.
