Description
Growing Younger is our 10 year plan for achieving two bold outcomes and we now need someone to lead this plan.

At the heart of our vision of a transformation in our engagement with children and young people are two commitments:

  • that every child and young person in Cornwall will be in reach of a worshipping community in which to explore the possibility of God and be at home; and
  • to increase the number of young disciples of Jesus by a factor of ten from a baseline of around 400 to 4,000.


You will be passionate about seeing children, young people, and families flourish in faith. Working closely with clergy, deaneries and the diocesan staff team you will have significant experience in church ministry, working with children and young people, and achieving results against plans.

We are very happy to invest in the right person and can offer a range of training and support.

At the Diocese of Truro, we value work-life balance and employee wellbeing and are committed to supporting your development. We offer additional benefits such as flexible working, up to 26 days holiday plus bank holidays, a range of wellbeing activities and the Church of England Pension Scheme with 9-15% employer contributions. More information on this here.

The closing date for applications is midnight on 27 July 2025 with interviews being held 5 August 2025 in Truro.

For an informal discussion about the role please contact Isaac McNish, Head of Ministry: [email protected]

Please note that whilst some home working is permitted this role cannot be done remotely and we do not pay staff to commute from outside Cornwall.

We welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons. However, we would particularly welcome applications from those with a disability, or from a UK minority ethnic background, as these groups are currently under-represented in our staff.

SAFEGUARDING - EVERYONE MATTERS - EVERYONE’S RESPONSIBILITY

The Diocese of Truro strives to be trauma informed, and is committed to developing safer policies, cultures, and practices.

Due to the nature of the role, there is an occupational requirement to be a practising Christian.
