We are excited to offer this role, where you will split your time 50/50 between Christ Church (CCS) and the Southport and Areas Schools Workers Trust (SASWT, www.saswtrust.com).
At Christ Church, we want to see every young person that lives in Southport have the opportunity to meet with the God who can change their lives. We have a target of 200 young people (0-18s) connected to Christ Church by 2028. Currently, we have around 70 with roughly ten 11-16s attending on a Sunday (plus a couple of 16-18s) and roughly thirty who attend our Friday Night Youth. This is all supported by a team of around 15 volunteers.
Southport and Area Schools Workers Trust is a charity formed in 1999, which has the privilege of connecting with children and young people across 20+ primary and secondary schools across the town and beyond. With a vision to create safe spaces to explore the big issues of life and faith, our team of staff and volunteers have a wide-ranging mission that includes assemblies, RE & PSHE lessons, primary after-school clubs, lunchtime secondary school safe spaces, and so much more.
CCS is a founding supporter of SASWT, and we both want to see young people explore faith and meet Jesus - this role simply allows you to do that in a school setting with a church base. To connect with more young people across Southport, we want someone who feels called here and has the right set of skills and personality to work in our schools and at Christ Church. We are not looking for perfection (or even mountains of experience) but someone passionate about seeing young people encounter Jesus. We are also advertising for a Children and Families Worker, and you would form a small staff team that would be passionate about working hard, having fun, encouraging each other, and trusting God together.
This is two permanent 18.75hr contracts (one with each organisation) making up a 37.5hr full-time position.
