Ministry Support Assistant (General & Lead Recruiter)

Location: Christ Church Fulwood, Sheffield
Hours:
Part-Time (28 hours p/week)
Salary: £23,028 – £25,733 (FTE)
Closing date: 27th July 2025

Role:

The Ministry Support Assistant’s (MSA’s) role is a vital part of a busy team who, together, carry responsibility for coordinating many of the central administrative functions of CCF. With their role of coordinating with staff and volunteers, the MSAs often act as the ‘face of CCF’, answering questions and communicating with the church family.

An MSA will need to demonstrate both professionalism and a real understanding of the church as the body of Christ. Other members of the Operations team include The Director of Operations, the Ministry Support Manager, the Premises Manager, other MSAs, and a small team of part time, volunteer receptionists. Many other volunteers from across the church family participate in supporting the wider ministry of CCF.

The MSA (General) serves the whole staff team along with the wider church family by completing a wide range of administrative tasks that underpin nearly every ministry that takes place at CCF. The tasks that will be undertaken include a varied combination of organisational, technical and sometimes artistic functions in supporting CCF’s day-to-day activities.

The MSA (Lead Recruiter) is a key member of the Operations department whose contribution underpins everything that goes on at CCF. The person in this role will work collaboratively with leaders of ministry teams, the Parish Safeguarding Officers and the chair of the PCC Safeguarding Sub-committee to enable Safer Recruitment of paid staff and volunteers in all areas of the church’s ministry.

About the church:

We are a conservative evangelical church family who meet in the south-west of Sheffield. We believe that the Bible is God’s inspired and revealed word and the authority for doctrine within the church. It is God’s revelation of all we need in order to know Him through our Lord Jesus Christ. There is, therefore, a strong emphasis on expository Bible teaching in the church and in the many activities that form part of it and radiate from it.

We are a parish church seeking to serve our local community. However, the church family is not confined to parish boundaries; the network of relationships through work, leisure and friendships means that the influence of the church family spreads much wider. We have many links within the city, the diocese, further afield in Britain and abroad.

The Lord has blessed us with extensive facilities which are in constant use. (In addition to the newly renovated church building itself, the parish has a large church complex and the use of four church houses).

We are an Anglican church, but the congregation and membership is composed of people from a variety of Christian traditions and denominations, united by the Christ-centred, Bible-based teaching and evangelistic outlook of the church.

We are concerned about the challenges of our culture, and those facing the Church of England and want to remain faithful to scripture as the revealed word of God. We are committed to evangelism and recognise that we need to equip the whole church to participate effectively in this work. The staff team includes the Vicar, Associate Vicar, Director of Operations, Minister for Training, Minister for Students, Female students’ Worker, Minister for Youth and Families’, Minister for Children and Families’, Junior Children, Youth and Families Minister, Minister for Music, Minister for Community Outreach, Ministry Support Manager, Ministry Support Assistants, Premises Manager and several Ministry Trainees.
