Children's and Family Worker FTE Salary: £29,737 plus 5% pension

 

🌟 We’re Hiring! Join Us on an Exciting Children & Families Mission 🌟

Thanks to the success of our Strategic Missions and Ministry Investment Board Renewals bid, we’re thrilled to be growing our team with a brand-new Children & Families role – and we’re looking for someone passionate, creative, and ready to make a difference!
Whether you're looking for full-time or part-time, we’d love to hear from you. Let’s explore together how your heart for ministry might fit with this brilliant opportunity.

👣 A Snapshot of the Role

You’ll be working across Holy Trinity Old Hill and the Forge Group Churches (St Andrew’s Netherton, St John’s Dudley Wood & St Peter’s Darby End) to bring the love of Jesus to children and families in dynamic, creative ways.
Our original idea was for one full-time post:
🕒 60% with the Forge Group
🕒 40% with Holy Trinity Old Hill
But we're totally open to part-time arrangements, so don’t let hours hold you back – let’s talk!

🙌 Holy Trinity Old Hill – Lead, Support, Inspire!

This is a coordinating and encouraging role, where you’ll support an enthusiastic team of volunteers and our fantastic part-time Youth Worker.
Here’s a taste of what’s going on:
Around 25 children and young people on a Sunday, split into three age groups
Trinity Treasures: a buzzing toddler group
Explore: a youth group for Years 7–13
Open the Book: Bible storytelling in local schools

And always room for new initiatives, with three local schools (one literally across the road!), ideas like a "Pop-Up Cuppa" for parents at drop-off could be just the beginning...

🔥 The Forge Group – Pioneer, Create, Connect!
This part of the role is all about pioneering new initiatives while supporting existing work across three amazing churches.   You’ll be working in vibrant communities with six schools in the mix and lots of baptism enquiries that keep our church-community connections alive.
You won’t be doing it alone!   You’ll have the support of:
Rev Rich Hackett (Priest-in-Charge)
A brand-new Community Missioner joining in July
A culture of collaboration between the Forge Group and Holy Trinity  - We’re all about sharing resources, creativity and encouragement as we grow God's kingdom together.

You’ll be joining the Holy Trinity Staff Team – a supportive, prayerful, and encouraging bunch who meet every Wednesday. Our team includes:
-Lead Community Worker
-Youth Worker
-Operations Manager
-Church Administrator
-Vicar & Curate
-Grow Leader
You’ll never be short of prayer, passion, or a listening ear.

💬 Interested? Let’s Talk!

Even if you:
Can’t do full-time? ✅
Can only do part of the role? ✅
Don’t tick every box but bring passion and potential? ✅✅✅
Let’s have a conversation! We care more about heart and attitude than a perfect CV.
Plus, we’re committed to helping the right person grow and develop with training and support – both inside and outside the church.
