Why we need Part Time Kids Team

Our Kids groups are growing! This is a really exciting time at Keswick as we see the Kids ministry grow. As the groups grow, we are on the look-out for new volunteers so that we can accommodate as many children as possible. As most of our Kids groups only run in the mornings, we would love to recruit more part time team:

  • Local residents who are keen to serve the Convention – maybe you’ve never been and want to see what it’s all about!
  • Those already attending the Convention – use your mornings to serve while being able to enjoy free afternoons and attend the evening programme in the big tent.
  • People who haven’t volunteered at the Convention before – try it part time before committing to a full-time role.

Specific Tasks Include

  • Assist teaching children the Bible – following the same passages as the adults   
  • Build relationships with a small group of children and caring for them 
  • Get stuck into loads of fun games, crafts and activities that support the Bible teaching 
  • Participate in team meetings, times of preparation, prayer and worship 
  • Clean up the venues after each session – preparing them for the next session 
  • Be ready to support other teams as needs arise 
  • Assist with whatever is needed behind the scenes 

You Will:

  • Have lots of enthusiasm for teamwork   
  • Have a desire to communicate the gospel appropriately to the respective age group 
  • Be interested in encouraging and building up children and young people 
  • Be able to draw alongside individuals 
  • Be lively and enthusiastic!  
  • Have recent experience of working with children or young people  
  • Have a good level of spoken English 
  • Be ready to support other teams when a need comes up 

Location and Schedule

  • You will be on duty Monday – Friday before, during and after the morning sessions (9:00 – 1:30)
  • You will be expected to arrive in time for a briefing meeting on Saturday afternoon and help with craft preparation after the Sunday morning all-age meeting
  • The children’s venues are located in the Pencil Factory
