Description of the Job

We’re looking for someone with experience, a passion for youth ministry and a heart to reach young people beyond the church community with the good news of Jesus. You will be a dynamic leader for our youth ministry. Someone who loves Jesus and loves seeing young people come to faith and grow in their faith. You will have experience in developing a vision, building teams, training others and delivering an exciting and fun youth ministry that young people want to be a part of.

This is paid staff role and builds on the great work of our current Youth Pastor who is following God’s call into school chaplaincy and an amazing volunteer youth team at St. Luke’s who have served over many years. The role will require elements of building on existing ministries and pioneering new ones both inside and outside the church in our community.
