£15,000 per annum (pro rata of £28,000)

St Luke’s and St Mark’s Downham are looking for a part-time Youth Worker (20 hours per week) to develop our mission and ministry with youth on the Downham Estate. St Luke’s and St Mark’s are two of four churches which makes up the Church of England Parish of Catford and Downham, one of the poorest parishes in the UK (within the bottom 8%).

  • Are you good at relating to young people and building a rapport with them?
  • Are you able to meet young people where they are and be a listening and supportive person to them?
  • Can you play a part in rebuilding our youth work after the pandemic?
  • Do you want to be part of a diverse, supportive team with a shared commitment to the local community?
  • Do you want a Youth Work role that doesn’t fit the usual mould?
