Heswall Parish is excited to offer a rewarding opportunity for a passionate, creative, and people-focused individual to join our church staff team in the re-created role of Families Leader.

Work with families sits at the heart of our mission to nurture Christian faith, build community, and support households of adults and children.

We are praying for someone with a personal commitment to Jesus Christ who can inspire, connect, and help us strengthen our ministry among children, parents, and carers—both within the church and across the wider community. If you are a person with some experience of Christian ministry and leadership, who brings energy, compassion, and a vision for helping families grow in faith together – we would love to hear from you.

Making Disciples

Leading Leaders
