About Spear Stockton
Spear Stockton is a partnership between Spear and Stockton Parish Church!
Stockton Parish Church
Stockton Parish Church (SPC) is an Anglican Church with an Evangelical Charismatic tradition in the centre of Stockton on Tees. SPC is a diverse worshiping community of around 200 people, a quarter of which are under 18.
Their mission at SPC is: ‘for everyone to know who they are, whose they are, and the difference they are called to make in the world around them’. They launched a 5 year vision in January 2022 to see their worshiping community grow to 500 people and to plant 3 churches. As the 30th most deprived parish in the country, part of their vision is committed to the long-term transformation of Stockton, seeking the peace and prosperity of the town for generations to come. This is expressed through a number of initiatives and partnerships, including the development of the Spear Centre. Spear Stockton forms part of this wider strategy, supporting young people into work and education as a key contribution to the flourishing of the local community.
Key Information:
- Salary: from £27,088 - £31,691 FTE (£21,607 - £25, 353 pro rata)
- Part-time, 29.6 hours per week (4 days, Monday to Thursday)
- A DBS check will be requested in the event of a job offer
- The Spear Programme offers a rewarding opportunity to work with young people, but it requires a dedicated commitment. Due to the term-based nature of the programme (i.e. two consecutive 4-week programmes in autumn, spring and summer), we expect annual leave to be taken between, rather than during terms
