Christian Jobs

Are you passionate about mission – sharing the love of Jesus with those who don’t know him? Do you enjoy working with young people and young adults? Do you love to see people growing in their faith and getting stuck in to make a difference in their local community? If so, then you may be the right person for a unique opportunity to lead and develop work with older youth and young adults (c. 15-30) across both Amblecote Community Church (ACC) and the Brierley Hill Project (BHP). This full time role will have a different focus in each organisation: - ACC are looking for someone passionate about mission to join their staff team (three days a week). This person will specifically focus on helping our existing older youth and young adults to grow in faith, whilst developing our missional engagement in that age group. - The BHP is a well-established community project that provides targeted life support and mentoring for people from the Brierley Hill area and wider Dudley Borough. They are looking for someone to lead and develop their youth support (two days a week). Both organisations are already well connected and the vision is that this role will continue and increase that collaboration so that some activities within one setting will also benefit the other. For more information and to receive an application pack, please contact Tim Murray on tim.m@amblecotecc.org.uk Ideally, we are looking for the successful applicant to begin work in September 2026.

We’re a growing and lively church in the heart of Daybrook, with a mix of both traditional and modern worship styles. Over the last three years, our children and youth ministry has been an exciting part of that journey, growing to around 30 children and young people regularly taking part in our groups on Sundays and in our mid-week meet ups. We are looking for someone to come and build on the foundations we have established for this ministry and help us to continue to reach out and nurture the young people and families of our parish. Our parish is on the outskirts of Nottingham and includes a diverse community, with some areas facing real challenges like high unemployment and limited resources. Overall, it ranks in the lower 20% on the Church of England’s Parish Index. Around 25% of our local population is under 18, so there’s a great opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of children and young people here. We run kids and youth groups during our 4:00pm Sunday services, offering a variety of fun activities and meaningful teaching to help them explore and grow in their own faith. Our service patterns, times, and styles are continuing to grow and evolve, and we want to make sure children and young people know there’s always a place for them. Beyond Sundays, we are proud to be actively involved in our local parish community through links to our local church school, Burntstump Seely CofE Primary Academy, a range of regular and seasonal activities, including groups for young families and seasonal celebrations that welcome people of all ages. In the summer months, it’s been a joy to take some of our young people away on residential trips - an experience that’s helped them grow in faith, build friendships, and connect with young people from other churches.

Our vision is to see every child and young person of Scotland exploring the Bible and responding to the significance of Jesus. At Alltnacriche, we pursue that vision through authentic, relational experiences in the outdoors - and we're now building something new. We're establishing a dedicated strand of work to support children and young people who face additional support needs, trauma, or barriers to engagement, alongside our existing residential programme. This work is already making a difference, and we're seeking someone to help deliver it with consistency and care, and to grow in the role as it develops. We're also developing dedicated indoor facilities to support this work year-round, creating a welcoming base for participants and a platform for future growth. Living on site and as part of an intentional community, you'll instruct across Alltnacriche's wider outdoor programme for schools, youth groups, and visiting organisations, while also designing and delivering dedicated sessions for young people with additional support needs. You'll help young people build emotional regulation, social connection, and confidence - and you'll bring inclusive, relational practice into every setting you work in. Over time, you'll also help shape new activities, strengthen inclusive practice within the team, and build relationships with the schools and partners we serve. You'll join a team that reflects together, prays together, and shares a deep commitment to seeing young people encounter Jesus through meaningful experiences and trusted relationships. The faith dimension of this work isn't peripheral - it's the reason we do it.

Key Responsibilities: 1. Delivery outdoor instruction across Alltnacriche's wider programme for children and young people, bringing inclusive and relational practice into every setting. 2. Deliver the Growing Together programme designed specifically for children and young people with additional support needs. 3. Build safe, consistent relationships with children and young people, through a trauma informed, relational lens that sees each individual as more then their presenting needs. 4. Contribute to the culture of reflection and improvement, using debriefs, stakeholder feedback and session review to inform your work. 5. Participate fully in the life and ministry of Alltnacriche and the wider Scripture Union Scotland organisation We are looking for someone who has a genuine desire to share the hope of Jesus with children and young people through relationship and experience, who has a passion for inclusion, relationship, and outdoor learning and who has experience working with children and young people with ASN, trauma, or behaviour-related needs. The successful applicant will have skills and qualifications to deliver our outdoor programme. We’ll invest in the right person through opportunities including accredited trauma-informed training, a Wilderness Ministry course in Austria, and full certification in Reality Therapy, an approach that supports young people in taking ownership of their choices and building healthier relationships. All training is considered through a Biblical lens, with the ultimate aim of equipping you to create spaces where young people can encounter and respond to the Christian faith. We’re also open to other pathways that support your growth in this role. For this post, it is important that you are committed to SU Scotland’s ethos, working principles and vision and are able to demonstrate this through your commitment and motivation. It is also an Occupational Requirement (Equality Act - part 1, schedule 9), that the post-holder is a committed Christian.

Come and join us as we celebrate the 125 years of the Dohnavur Fellowship, India. Established 125 years ago by the Irish missionary Amy Carmichael. Founded originally in 1901 by Amy Carmichael (fondly known as ‘Amma’) as a home for rescued children, the good work continues today as a wholly independently run Indian Christian organisation comprising many descendants of the Fellowship who grew up and chose to dedicate their lives to sharing the love of Jesus Christ with others in need. This year is the 125th anniversary of the ministry of the Dohnavur Fellowship (DF) and we want to take this opportunity to give thanks to God for His faithfulness through these years. We are excited that Jerry Rajanesan (the CEO) and his wife Vasanthakumari have accepted an invitation to visit the UK from Dohnavur for three weeks in April 2026. Please see overleaf for dates and times of special events that you are welcomed to. During these events you will be able to enjoy videos of both the children and the 'starry cluster' singing. Amy Carmichael wrote many books, a number of which are still in print, as well as compilations from her unpublished writings. Those who worked with her, and some who knew her, have also written about Amy and the work of the Fellowship.
