Greyfriars Kirk is a congregation of the Church of Scotland at the heart of Edinburgh having established social enterprise projects such as the Grassmarket Project and Greyfriars Outreach Ltd. We are now embarking on a new social enterprise project under similar guiding principles of the Grassmarket Community Project of promoting social inclusion amongst Edinburgh’s citizens.
Greyfriars Kirk’s (GK) roots go back to 1620, and the site was a place of worship well before then. Today GK is a member of The Church of Scotland, and it has a small and committed congregation. The roll is about 250 and about 100 attend the main service on Sunday.
The key responsibility is to provide operational support to the Ministry Team to facilitate all practical aspects of services of worship in a respectful and dignified way.
You will be required to manage the Kirk’s core Sunday Services – 9:30am to 10:30am and a Gaelic Service from 11:30am to 12:30pm. You will also be required if available to assist with funerals, weddings and other services (including rehearsals) in the kirk and will be paid in addition to the Beadle salary.
