Are you passionate about helping young people grow in their knowledge of Jesus?

Are you someone who is approachable, enthusiastic and relates well to young people?

We are seeking to recruit a part-time youth worker to join us at Worcester Baptist Church, a growing, family orientated church in the centre of the beautiful city of Worcester. Working primarily with 11 – 18 year olds, you will be discipling and encouraging them as they grow in their knowledge of Jesus, alongside a team of dedicated volunteers. There will also be opportunities to build relationships with those not connected to the church through a youth club, schools work and outreach activities.

You will be tasked with:

• Leading our youth work on a Sunday morning, working with volunteers to develop appropriate groups for 11 – 18 year olds, ensuring they grow and deepen their faith
• Developing and overseeing the weekly group for youth
• Running a regular programme of both discipleship and social events throughout the year
• Identifying effective ways to connect with youth beyond the church on a regular basis
• Contributing to all-age slots on Sunday mornings and to all-age services
• Communicating pro-actively with parents about all matters relating to youth ministry in the church
• Helping to establish relationships with local secondary schools and identify ways to serve and contribute to them
• To work with the ministers and the children’s team to ensure a smooth transition from children’s ministry to youth ministry and from youth ministry to the adult church
• To network with other local youth workers in other churches
