Apprentices – Children and Youth Ministry

Introduction

Apprentice in Children & Youth Ministry (multiple positions)

Do you have a heart for children and young people and a desire to see them flourish in faith and life?

Whether you’re 18 and just starting out, in your 20’s and exploring a new direction or further along in life and sensing God stirring something new in you – age is not necessarily considered to be a barrier.

We’re offering eight Apprentice-style positions as part of our Children & Youth Ministry Apprenticeship Programme.  This is a three-year, paid opportunity to work, learn and  grow ministry.

You’ll be:

• Employed by the Diocese of Southwark
• Supported by and based in a local parish, working with children, young people and families
• Paid the London living wage for 28 hours per week

What does the programme involve?

• 21 hours of practical ministry experience each week in a parish setting
• 7 hours of dedicated study time, mainly online, working towards a Certificate of Higher Education in Theology, Mission and Ministry through Ridley Hall, Cambridge
• Ongoing support from your local parish, the Diocese, and academic tutors at Ridley Hall

There is an occupational requirement that the job holder is a Christian under the Part 1 Schedule 9 to the Equality Act 2010.

Could this be your next step?

This is more than just a job-it’s a journey of faith, growth and purpose.  Come and be part of something that could shape your future – and someone else’s.
