St Thomas' North Sydney

We are looking for a full-time Children's Ministry Worker to join our staff team from Term 1, 2026. This role will be suited to a mature Christian leader who is passionate about seeing children come to know, love and follow Jesus. It is an exciting opportunity to invest in the spiritual lives of children aged 0–12, while supporting and equipping parents and volunteers for long-term discipleship. The ideal candidate will be someone with a love for kids, a love for God's Word, and the ability to lead, train and inspire others.

The successful candidate will be someone who thrives in an environment where God's Word is central, and gospel ministry is a team effort. You'll be working closely with and reporting to the Assistant Minister (Children, Youth & Parents) and a dedicated group of volunteers to oversee a range of children's ministries, both in the church and local community.

St Thomas' is a medium-sized, contemporary evangelical church on the edge of North Sydney's CBD. We exist to glorify our great and gracious God by knowing, loving and proclaiming Jesus. We believe this happens as we listen prayerfully and humbly to God's life-transforming word.

  • Lead and develop evangelistic initiatives both inside and outside the church
  • Teach SRE (Special Religious Education) at North Sydney Demonstration School
  • Recruit, train, equip, and pastorally care for leaders and junior leaders
  • Create and refine curriculum and devotional resources for Preschool to Year 6
  • Build strong partnerships with parents and carers through regular communication and discipleship
  • Maintain safe and welcoming ministry environments for all children, including those with neurodiverse needs
  • Facilitate smooth transitions into youth ministry (Lights) and connection with our onsite Preschool
  • Maintain accurate records and rosters via Elvanto
  • Ensure full compliance with all Safe Ministry policies

Key Requirements

  • A committed Christian growing in love for Christ and His people
  • Alignment with the theological convictions and mission of St Thomas'
  • Minimum one year of theological training
  • Minimum 2 years' experience leading children or youth ministry teams
  • Strong communication, relational, teaching, and administrative skills
  • A team player with a training mentality and willingness to submit to leadership
  • Valid Working With Children Check and up-to-date Safe Ministry Training
  • This person will attend the 5pm evening service as their congregation and be an active member of a Discipleship Group

The Role Offers:

  • Full-time position based in North Sydney
  • Supportive staff team and church family
  • Salary in line with Sydney Anglican Diocesan guidelines
  • Opportunities to grow in ministry, training, and leadership

The role will initially be on a 6-month probationary period, after which performance will be reviewed for potential continuation as a permanent role.

Start Date: Term 1, 2026 (an earlier start date may be possible)
