Youth Work Pioneer

Darlington and Teesdale Methodist Circuit are seeking to appoint a passionate and experienced Youth

Work professional to lead our work in re-seeding Youth Work in our Circuit. This permanent, full-time

role, to which the Circuit has made an initial five-year commitment, is Circuit-wide, but locally based.

The person appointed will help lead the development of a Circuit-led New Places for New People

(NPNP) initiative for and with young people within the Circuit, which we anticipate will lead to the

upscaling of this area of ministry in the medium term.

We are seeking a collaborative self-starter who is able to work in strategically missional ways in

order to reach and disciple young people, in enabling them to flourish in every part of their lives.

You are likely to hold a degree-level qualification in Theology, or a subject related to this area of

ministry. Ideally, this might be a professionally-qualifying JNC award. Applicants not holding a JNC,

or equivalent, may still be considered.

A specific faith is an essential requirement for this role and in accordance with the Equality Act,

2010, it is an occupational requirement that the successful candidate is a practising Christian.
