The PCC of St Gabriel’s is seeking to appoint a Full-time children’s worker to envision and guide our children’s ministry into the future.

St Gabriel’s is a warm, friendly and growing church in the heart of Greystones, Sheffield.

The role will include developing our Sunday children’s ministry, supporting and equipping our fantastic team of volunteers, overseeing our Playmates toddler group and seasonal outreach events, strengthening links with our local primary school, and pioneering new ways of connecting with children and families across Greystones. There will also be plenty of space to try new ideas and to shape where the ministry goes next.
