£13.45 per hour | 1.5–2 days per week, flexible | 12-month fixed term

About us
Field Vineyard is a dynamic, growing church community based at Field Hall on Cossins Road in Redland. Since we moved there in 2025, the venue has become a vibrant local hub. It hosts our weekly Sunday gatherings, a thriving parents and children group, Begin Well antenatal classes and a lively youth group. We want our facilities to stay compliant, safe and welcoming while we keep equipping our children’s ministry and running our administration well, so we are recruiting for a combined role.

Role summary
This role brings together looking after Field Hall, the behind-the-scenes admin that keeps a church community running well, and children’s ministry. You’ll help us steward Field Hall as a safe and welcoming home for our gatherings and local groups. You’ll help our trustees and staff team stay organised. And you’ll partner with our Children and Family Pastor to shape Sunday and midweek programmes for kids.

What will you be doing?

1. Building management

• Safe, well-kept spaces: research, put in place and maintain fire safety, evacuation and risk assessment routines for Field Hall.

• Managing contractors: arrange routine servicing, safety checks and repairs.

• Managing venue hire: handle bookings, issue hire agreements, arrange access keycodes and oversee setup and pack-down.

• Caring for the building: be the point of contact for Field Hall’s facilities and make sure it meets the requirements we’re responsible for.

2. Charity governance and office support

• Supporting our trustees: keep our Charity Commission records up to date and file board records.

• Meetings and minutes: prepare agendas, attend fortnightly staff meetings and quarterly trustee meetings, take minutes and follow up actions.

• IT and HR administration: keep Google Workspace, ChurchSuite and staff records organised.

3. Children’s work

• Sunday mornings: work with our Children and Family Pastor to plan and resource our weekly Mini and Mighty Kids sessions, building up to leading a session fortnightly.

• Communications: brief volunteers on each week’s plan, manage the rota and send parents weekly Sunday highlights.

• Housekeeping: keep the kids’ areas tidy and well organised.

• Wider children’s ministry: get involved with our fortnightly Field Friday club, and plan and run children and family events beyond our regular gatherings.

• Development: take part in theological training at Müllers, and retreats such as the Vineyard Leaders Gathering and the Vineyard Kids Network.

Who are you?

• An active, committed Christian with a heart for discipling children and supporting local church growth.

• Practical and willing to learn. Experience in admin, operations or facilities is helpful but not essential, as training will be provided.

• Highly organised, with an eye for detail, able to balance admin deadlines alongside hands-on ministry.

• A good communicator, in person and in writing, with parents, trustees, hirers and contractors.

• Comfortable with digital tools, including Google Workspace, ChurchSuite and presentation equipment.
