Schools, Families & Community Outreach Worker
(37.5 Hours per week)
(Salary £21,996 - £24,290 FTE)
The West Warwick Youth & Schools project is a new partnership between St Paul’s Warwick and St Michael’s, Budbrooke. This comes in the context of exciting wider investment in Children, Families, Schools and Youth Work in the town, including the arrival of a Message Trust double decker youth bus to spearhead outreach, and a partnership with Thrive Ministries to equip and grow. We are also involved with Transforming Lives for Good (TLG), with the Make Lunch initiative and Early Intervention Programme currently in one of the four primary schools across both churches. St Michael’s and St Paul’s share a vision for a fresh move of God in the town and surrounding area, and are seeking to build a multipliable discipleship culture.
This role is essentially a pioneering role building on a solid foundation offered by the existing work in our primary schools and activities already started in our churches. It will be focussed on school and community partnerships including early intervention work, taking assemblies and Make Lunch, our holiday hunger programme. It will also involve building on the connections made through the Lego Club, Message Bus, Chase Meadow Community Centre and the wider work of the two parishes. The role will be supported by interns from the PAIS project who help lead both Sunday and midweek activities.
The Ideal candidate will have a vibrant and active Christian faith, a secure understanding of that faith and the ability to engage with children and families in faith issues. The post-holder is to model discipleship and create a culture in which the whole church play their part in helping encourage young people to grow in a lively, committed and radical faith in Jesus Christ. They will strive to enable all young people we reach in the schools, churches and communities to hear, respond and grow in the gospel of Jesus by the power of his Holy Spirit.
We welcome informal conversations about the post – please contact Jonathan Hearn (Team vicar) stpauls.warwick@outlook.com or call 01926 499533.
Closing date for applications: Wednesday 19th September 2022 12.00pm

Rev. Jonathan Hearn
Although I grew up in a Christian home it was only in my 20s that I really encountered Jesus through the presence of His Holy Spirit and that faith became alive. My desire is to see people encounter the living Lord and grow as a disciple of Christ, going on a journey from perhaps only knowing about Him to knowing Him personally and experience His transformative power in their lives.

A Brief History
A part of Warwick life from 1824
|
The population of Warwick grew rapidly in the early 1800s when the opening of the canal enabled many new industries to develop in the local area.
The work-force was housed in the newly-erected streets in the western parts of the town, such as Crompton Street, Woodhouse Street, and Queen's Square. As the population grew, the churchyards of St Mary and St Nicholas became full and in 1823 both churches petitioned the Bishop of Worcester for extra burial space. The Coventry diocese was only created in 1918. |
As a result, on 23rd July 1824 ground was consecrated in Friars Street and later in the same year a cemetery chapel was built. This was known as St Mary's Episcopal Chapel, being served by St Mary's, and was used exclusively for burials. Then in 1842 it was proposed that a new Free Church should be built.
In 1844 the Parish of St Paul's was formed out of the western part of St Mary's Parish. The church was completed in the same year and consecrated on 26th July 1844 by the Bishop of Worcester, the Rt Revd Henry Pepys. |
