Are you passionate about helping children and families discover the love of Jesus? Do you have the creativity, vision and heart to build meaningful relationships in a local community?
St Philip’s has been at the heart of West Howe for over 70 years. We’re a welcoming church with a strong commitment to children and families, and a passion for seeing people discover faith, find community and grow together. We believe God is already at work here, and we’re looking for a Spirit‑led, relational and enthusiastic Children & Families Outreach Worker to help us pioneer and grow this vital ministry.
With two local schools and strong community connections, there’s real scope to build new relationships and create welcoming spaces where children and families can grow in faith and feel at home. Working 14 hours a week alongside our Rector, volunteers and wider church family, you’ll be supported by a committed team as you bring fresh energy, ideas and vision.
You’ll help connect with local schools, develop creative activities, plan seasonal events, and welcome families who may be on the fringes of church life. If you love people of all ages and are excited to pioneer and grow a new ministry, you may be just the person we’re praying for.
*This post is offered on an initial three‑year contract with the expectation that, given its pioneering nature and the significant contribution it is designed to make, there will be opportunities to extend the role beyond this period.

St Philip’s is a Church of England church at the heart of the West Howe housing estate in Bournemouth, where we have been serving and sharing the love of Jesus with the local community since 1953.
We are a welcoming, charismatic evangelical church with a strong commitment to community and to people of all ages and backgrounds. We seek to share the love of Jesus in all that we do, making disciples and encouraging people to discover faith, grow in their relationship with God and flourish at every age and stage of life.
As a church, we are looking to grow younger and are committed to investing in our future by building stronger connections with children and families across the estate. This role is an important part of that investment, helping us to develop relationships, create opportunities to engage with local families and share the love of Jesus with a new generation.
We are passionate about being a church that is rooted in its community, welcoming to all and committed to seeing lives transformed by the love of Jesus.
