This part-time role (20 hours per week) would suit someone starting out on a career in youth work, or someone with a heart for young people who wants to do youth work alongside part-time study, voluntary work, or caring. The working pattern can be arranged flexibly around the mutual requirements of the Church and the Youth Worker, although Sunday will normally be a working day.
