Vacancy for Senior Youth Minister

Woodlands Central is a large and vibrant, city centre church that serves the city of Bristol as part of one of six church sites in the Woodlands Church Family. Our vision is to see our city transformed by the love and power of Jesus.

Central to our plans to reach this city for Jesus are young people! In Bristol, there are 90,000 young people who don’t have regular contact with church or faith. We would love to see this change!

The Role
We are looking for someone who can work alongside the Youth Director, established youth team and congregation leaders to help our youth ministry double its impact in the next 5 years. Within this role, the youth minister will inspire and equip the Youth Team within Woodlands Central to share faith, disciple and equip young people to live lives of whole-hearted devotion and commitment to Jesus.

Terms

We give a generous leave allowance of 33 days including bank holidays. The role will be primarily based at Woodlands Church in Clifton, Bristol with flexible and home working available by arrangement. A job share may be considered for this role. The post is subject to satisfactory references and DBS check. We have a legal responsibility to ensure that all our employees have the legal right to live and work in the UK. Therefore, please only apply if you are eligible to work in the UK as we will have to verify this before you can start work. See full terms in the Role Summary below.

Relocating
If you are moving to Bristol, we can assist with the costs of relocation and will do all we can to help find suitable accommodation.
