Join our team!

We are looking for a passionate and gifted individual to join our leadership team as the new Women’s Pastor. This is an exciting opportunity to provide spiritual leadership, pastoral care, and discipleship for women across all life stages – helping them grow in faith, build authentic community, and discover their gifts for service within the church and beyond.

Working closely with the Interim Senior Pastor and wider leadership staff, you will develop and oversee women’s ministry – from pastoral care and small groups to events, teaching, and leadership development. You will be a person of deep character and faith, with a heart to see women flourish and a commitment to the vision and values of SWLV and the Vineyard movement.

We are seeking a motivated and compassionate individual to lead the church’s mission to serve and connect with the surrounding community. At the heart of this role is overseeing the work of The Yard – a community hub that demonstrates the love of Christ through practical, kingdom-focused service. You will develop and manage outreach ministries across the local area, including programmes such as Foodbank, Job Club and Exploring Faith.

Working closely with the Interim Senior Pastor and wider leadership team, you will build meaningful partnerships with local organisations, recruit and nurture volunteers, and develop new ministries that meet the tangible needs of those around us. This is a wonderful opportunity for someone with a heart for mission and a passion for seeing the church make a real difference beyond its walls.

Please email your CV and a covering letter to alex@swlv.org.uk, clearly outlining how your skills and experience relate to the role and how you meet the person specification.
