About us

The Diocese of York is the Church of England between the Rivers Humber and Tees, and from the Yorkshire coast westwards to around the A1. We are seeking to Live Christ's Story (LCS) by becoming more like Christ, reaching people we currently don't, growing churches of missionary disciples, and transforming our finances and structures.

We have an exciting opportunity in our Education Team, to work closely with the Children and Youth Adviser in an assistant capacity. The post holder will focus primarily on the 'Growing Younger' strand within the Living Christ's Story strategic development plan and this role would be supporting this workstream. Growing Younger is a key priority for the Church of England.

This is a unique chance to make a significant and lasting contribution to the life of the Church — nurturing gifts, deepening vocations, and accompanying lay ministers on their journey from discernment through training and into deployment.

About the Role

The purpose of this role is to provide operational support for ministry among children, young people and their families throughout the Diocese so that children and young people grow in faith and their discipleship journey. The post holder will be a practitioner who has the skills to work with passion and vision and the ability to work with a variety of partners at parish level.

We Offer:

  • The opportunity to support children and young people within a dynamic and supportive team.
  • A role rooted in collaboration, vision, and mission.
  • A chance to work in a busy office community at the heart of the Diocese.
  • Develop resources and schemes aimed at introducing young people to all aspects of faith.

You will be joining a Diocese that is deeply committed to transformation, sustainability, and faithful stewardship of creation. To learn more about Living Christ's Story, visit: Living Christ's Story – Diocese of York

This post is subject to an occupational requirement that the holder be a practicing Christian under Part 1 of schedule 9 to the Equality Act 2010 because of its representational role within the diocese.

We are committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion and welcome applications from disabled candidates and those from UKME heritage as these groups are under-represented in our staff. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people, and vulnerable adults. All employees are expected to share this commitment. You will be required to undertake safeguarding training, and this role will be subject to an Enhanced DBS check.

This role is based at the Diocesan Office in Clifton Moor, York. For any enquiries, please contact Kirsty McCullough at or email
