An important role in the successful establishment of a programme for trainees in Children and Young People work in churches.

This is an exciting opportunity for an individual with experience of coordinating projects to play a key role supporting the delivery of our Diocesan strategy, Southwark Vision 2024-2035, Christ Centred Outward Focused.

As a result of a successful application for funding from the National Church, the Diocese of Southwark has launched the Southwark Diocesan Investment Programme (DIP) – a multifaceted, integrated and transformational programme designed to help resource and implement Southwark Vision and further mission, ministry and growth across the Diocese.

You will play a key role in the successful establishment, monitoring and management of the Apprenticeship style training programme for trainees in Children and Young People work in churches in the Diocese of Southwark.

The postholder will enable the training placements to be properly administered and monitored, as well as, providing additional support for the apprentices and their parish line managers by having regular meetings and telephone calls. This post will require liaising with parish Children’s and Youth workers, coordinating training courses and general administration.

This is a new role, giving the opportunity to be involved from the start of the project, and to support the trainees on their journey to ministry in Children and Youth Work in the Diocese.
