Role

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.

Upper Braes are looking for an individual to work alongside the Ministry Team to support the pastoral care work within the Parish with a God-given passion for compassionate care for others and a desire to bring God’s presence, comfort, strength and hope to any in need.

As well as having experience of relating to people across all ages and with people who have little or no Church connection, the successful candidate will also have the ability to carry out effective, sensitive and empathetic pastoral care across a range of pastoral settings.

This role is also suitable for Parish Deacons, and those applying for the role as a Deacon will be expected to carry out additional duties consistent with the office and supported by their training.

The successful candidate will be a committed Christian with an active Church connection (Genuine Occupational Requirement in terms of the Equality Act 2010).
