The hours are from 10am to 4pm (or 3pm depending on the time of year) and the rate of pay is £16 per hour.If you would like to discuss the post or receive more information and/or if you would like to visit St Martha’s before you apply, please contact the Church Warden Helen Corbett (07710 750909 or email churchwarden@parishofchilworth.org.uk)
