About The Role

We are at an exciting time in the life of St Mary’s. In 2023 we launched our new mission strategy to enable our vision of Calling Islington Home as a committed, connected and caring community.

Our church community is passionate about children being supported to follow Jesus and to become more like him. We currently welcome over 1500 school children to the church each year, have 25 plus children on Sundays, run a preschool and holiday play scheme, and welcome hundreds of children to our site each year for community groups. We long to seize the opportunities for meaningful and long-term ministry with children and their families.

We seek an experienced and creative leader as our Children and Families minister to enable the discipleship of children and families on Sundays and throughout the week. The Children and Families Minister will be responsible for the discipleship and evangelism pathways for children, play an important part in our schools ministry, and engage with our preschool and holiday play scheme.

We encourage applicants to apply early. Interviews will be conducted on a rolling basis, which may result in an offer being before the closing date.

Equal Opportunities

The Diocese of London is committed to creating and sustaining a diverse and inclusive workforce which represents our context and wider community. We are aware that those of Global Majority Heritage/United Kingdom Minority Ethnic (GMH/UKME), women, and disabled people are currently under-represented among our clergy and workforce, and we particularly encourage applications from those with the relevant skills and experience that will increase this representation.
