You will work closely with volunteers, interns, families, schools, and the wider church leadership to ensure our ministries are safe, inclusive, and spiritually fruitful.

Key Responsibilities Include

• Providing spiritual leadership, mentoring, and pastoral support to children, young people, volunteers and interns
• Leading and developing weekly programmes including youth clubs, Sunday groups, retreats, residentials, family services, fun aways days, holiday club, mission trips and outreach activities
