Challenge Event Jobs
Are you passionate about pastoring and impacting the spiritual lives of young people? We’d love you to join our community at Springfield Church and lead our children and youth ministries in Wallington (a suburb of London with easy access to the City Centre). You’ll be developing innovative discipleship spaces that connect with our young peoples’ unique experiences, shaping our monthly ‘All in’ services, and supporting Springers midweek Toddler group. You would develop these and other spaces, such as a Sunday afternoon Bubble Church, and build upon our relationships with local schools where we run Messy Church and have mentors supporting children.
What We Offer
As part of our dynamic team, you’ll have opportunities to develop your leadership skills, contribute to our church’s vision, and shape the future of the children and youth ministry in our community. You will have ongoing support in the role from an experienced and committed staff team, led by Pioneer Vicar David Atkinson, alongside Pioneer Curate, Mel Wynn including strong operational support alongside other volunteer team members. You will receive children and youth-specific training through the Southwark Diocese Aurora course.
Who we’re looking for
We are looking for a passionate and strategic-thinking candidate - someone who loves pastoring young people and can train and release our growing team of volunteers (rather than doing everything yourself). You will understand and relate to the pressures and sense of community that come from living in different areas, such as the Roundshaw Estate and wider Wallington, and you would be able to demonstrate that you have been successful in pastoring children and youth in the community. You would share our values to grow in courage, compassion and creativity as we seek to build a culture of belonging around Jesus. Ideally, you would have a qualification in children and youth work, but this is not essential if you have relevant experience.

Battersea successfully rehomes approximately 3,000 animals annually and takes in many more. We have an ambition to significantly increase the number of cats and dogs helped through our centres and beyond.

The postholder should have a background in information and support, advice or content development and have led on the development of a strategic programme within a not-for-profit setting that delivers social impact.

We understand the value of diverse voices, perspectives, and experiences to help us deliver even more for our dogs and cats, and we welcome applicants from all sections of the community.
As a Disability Confident Committed Employer we will ask about any adjustments you may need at application and/or interview stage, and if you are offered a role with us, we’ll talk to you about any workplace adjustments you may need to help you perform at your best.
