Diocese through time Strategy Leadership Governance Our Life as a Diocese Ely Cathedral Search Youth and Families Minister, St Andrew's Chesterton St Andrew’s Chesterton in Cambridge is recruiting to a new role dedicated both to leading ministry among our young people (10-18 years) and to coordinating our wider work with families. St Andrew’s Chesterton is a lively, welcoming and growing Church of England parish church in Cambridge. We have a history of investment in creative, inclusive and relational youth work and children’s ministry. We are responding to recent growth in our congregation across all ages and have a vision to grow and mature as ‘A Church For All Generations’. One strand of this vision includes nurturing and cherishing faith in young people, children and families. Towards this vision, we are creating a new role dedicated both to leading ministry among our young people (10-18 years) and to coordinating our wider work with families . This is an exciting opportunity to lead youth ministry centred on community, belonging and relationships, with an approach to faith formation in the Anglican tradition that fosters understanding, spiritual depth and personal integrity. The role is also about enabling a growing children and families ministry to flourish through responsive co-ordination and support. As new families join us, we want to invest in our volunteer recruitment processes, training and supervision to ensure we both meet our safeguarding responsibilities and retain, support and develop volunteers who can confidently adapt their approaches, especially for families with additional needs. St Andrew’s is a caring and supportive church that values depth and openness in our Christian faith, prayer and mission. Some might call us a ‘both-and’ kind of church – valuing both preaching and the Eucharist in worship, heart and head knowledge, tradition and imagination. We are Christians drawn to a generous orthodoxy, not driven to exclusive positions. Our church body includes people with diverse faith journeys representing much of the variety of belief and practice of the Church of England. In God’s Son, Jesus Christ, we recognise our best example of open and generous welcome in God. He is the way, truth and fullness of life that God offers. We are looking for a creative and responsible team-player enthusiastic to join in what God is doing among us and with us in our corner of Cambridge. Hours: 21 to 28 hours/week – subject to experience, skill set and negotiation. (We want to find the right candidate and we’re open to finding an effective pattern for team-work across the week, school terms and school holidays.) Hours will include working Sundays and occasional midweek evenings. Duration of post: 3 years fixed term. Salary: Up to £24,315 per annum for 28 hrs/week (£32,565 Full Time Equivalent) with the opportunity to join our employer pension scheme For more about this distinctive and compelling context and role, please download the full Job Description from our website www.standrews-chesterton.org To arrange an informal conversation with Philip, our vicar, please email admin@standrews-chesterton.org Deadline for applications is: Tuesday 1 September 2026 Anticipated date for short-listed applicant visits and interviews: Sunday 13 September 2026 St Andrew’s Church, Chesterton, Cambridge, CB4 1DT First published on: 2nd July 2026 Page last updated: Thursday 2nd July 2026 10:15 AM St Andrew’s Chesterton in Cambridge is recruiting to a new role dedicated both to leading ministry among our young people (10-18 years) and to coordinating our wider work with families.
