Employing a Youth worker?

A growing number of churches are now employing people to work with their children and young people.

We have a short and accessible guide to help all churches through the whole process of researching, planning and making a children or youth worker appointment. It also considers how volunteers might be best used and supported.

It helps churches to make appointments which are effectively set up and run, and avoids the common mistakes which can lead to later problems.

• Preparation: research, planning, resourcing the work, thinking through what you want a worker to do.
• Appointment procedures: job descriptions and contracts, the recruitment and selection process.
• Management issues: good management practice, induction and further development.
• Further sources of help and advice.
