Our congregation and PCC are excited to appoint a passionate practitioner who brings creativity, tenacity, and a heart for CYPF ministry. We are committed to considering people at different stages of their career - whether an experienced leader or an early-career candidate with strong potential.
We want every child and young person in Earl Shilton to be able to explore and discover their spirituality through the Christian faith by developing projects that thrive at the intersection between church, school and household.
We are committed to a two-pronged approach to attract the right person. Our intention is to recruit one person and we are open to considering people at different stages of their career and the role and renumeration would reflect that.

About St Simon and St Jude, Earl Shilton
St Simon and St Jude is a warm, welcoming church where all are embraced. We are a lively, growing congregation with a strong sense of family, made up of people from all walks of life. Although many of our members are older, there is a shared, heartfelt desire to nurture children, young people and families in faith. Our congregation is committed to being an outward-looking church, celebrating the presence of all generations worshipping and growing together. Moments of connection across age groups — such as our lively all-age services, church trips to Spring Harvest, ‘faith tea’ — are deeply valued, and we see great potential for developing intergenerational ministry even further. At the heart of our church is our worship of the Lord — lifting our voices heavenward and being challenged into thought, word and deed. Alongside worship, we invest energy in being a welcoming and friendly place for all ages, making everyone feel part of the church family.
