The three Anglican parishes of Haughley, Wetherden and Stowupland, are creating a part-time, self-employed Children and Families Worker post to pioneer work with children and families. This is an exciting and varied role which is part of our vision to grow younger.

In particular, the Children and Families Worker will create and develop a Sunday afternoon provision which will specifically appeal to children, parents/carers.

This provision will involve the preparation and delivery of an activity/service (as part of an annual programme) which will be replicated in each parish each month. Hence the Worker will be required to work three Sunday afternoons per month in each of the three parishes with the additional hours worked flexibly to prepare for the sessions.

We are looking for someone who is experienced in working with children. They will have good organisational and communication skills. They will be a team-player. And they will need to obtain the Church of England’s Safeguarding Certificate at a leadership level.

Start date: July 2026 (Please note: July and August will be preparatory months. The Sunday afternoon activities will not begin until September).

Rate: £15 per hour.
