You’ll take the lead on support planning and risk assessment, act as a key point of contact for partner agencies and networks and work closely with colleagues to deliver high-quality, young-person-centred support. If you’re motivated by relationships, creativity and the opportunity to help grow something meaningful, this is a brilliant time to come on board.

Could you be part of something different? We have an exciting opportunity for a motivated and enthusiastic individual to use their gifts, skills and experience to make a difference to the lives of the people in our parishes and communities.

We are looking for someone to lead the planning and implementation of Perth Presbytery’s vision to develop Christian witness and ministry to the developing Bertha Park community.

Bertha Park is a new housing development with an emerging community on the edge of Perth where you would work within an evolving physical place, community and worshipping centre.

Bringing your experience in effective mission or outreach alongside your visionary and innovative outlook you will work in partnership to continue to develop and grow a new worshipping community through identifying the needs and requirements of those locally.
