We are recruiting a Lay Pastoral Worker

We're looking for someone to work with our Minister, Revd John McNeill and our members to help care for the spiritual and practical needs of the congregation and wider community, including those unable to attend worship.

Do you have the skills to:

  • Be 'the face of the church' as a regular pastoral presence for church organisations and those using the church premises?
  • Offer Christian friendship in the name of the Methodist Church to those who may be experiencing challenging times in their lives (i.e. bereavement, illness, infirmity or isolation)?
  • Link into, and support the development of the pastoral care network within the church?


Can you:

  • Talk and listen sensitively to uncover and nurture spiritual and pastoral needs?
  • Build friendships with a wide-ranging group from young people to octogenarians?
  • Start conversations, establish positive and productive relationships and build trust with various age groups?
  • Work on your own and as part of the team, recognising and developing the gifts of others and encourage participation?


We're an active church with a busy programme of events and activities organised by church members, uniformed organisations and other groups. Located in the city of Gloucester we have a mixed age membership and new housing nearby.
Please get in touch if you'd like to know more. You can download the Application Pack, the Application form and our Diversity Equality form.

Interested?
This is a part time post, up to 18.5 hours a week with funding available for 3 years and possibility longer. Talk to us about how this could fit into your life – we're happy to support flexible working
Deadline for applications: Noon on Friday 28 March
Interviews will take place: Tuesday 8 April at Hucclecote Methodist Church
