New Workers Needed for Grace for the Next Generation

Grace is looking for people with drive and initiative to help us launch an exciting new project starting in September 2012. We shall need the equivalent of two trainee children's workers/GAP Year students to develop our 'Saturation Project'. Working alongside an existing Grace Worker with a proven track record for successful outreach, these posts will provide an amazing opportunity to prove that Christian children's work can make a positive impact on the local community. Part-time applications are welcome. These roles could work well for anyone studying for future ministry. We are looking for people with initiative and a passion for God, children and mission. The main focus for the roles will be to work with children and their families, telling them the good news about Jesus. This will be undertaken in church, and school through a variety of activities including clubs, events, toddler groups, assemblies, lessons, sport, craft and Sunday worship. In addition to this, there will be the opportunity to develop the role to individual strengths. This could include puppetry, serving in a charity coffee shop and I.T. administration. 

Grace is in a transitionary year. Churches joining in our first five years of operation were only required to sign up for one year at a time. Now that Grace has had time to build up a good reputation, we are extending the minimum time period for new contracts. This means that there won't be any new Grace Worker vacancies this year unless one of our existing workers resigns. The situation has been strategically managed as part of our long-term growth plan. However, we anticipate considerable growth next year and to increase our salaried work-force accordingly. Grace Workers are currently paid £18,000 per year. 

Please note that the closing date for applicants wishing to start in September 2012 has now been fixed as Sunday 8th July 2012. 

Grace holds an annual training conference in the first week of September. More information about the positions available will be posted on this website as it becomes available.
