About the Role:

  • Create and deliver training, formation, and resources to support parishes in welcoming families and preparing them for sacramental engagement.
  • Develop strong relationships with key stakeholders, including clergy, pastoral associates, and school leaders.
  • Celebrate and promote family life through key events such as World Children’s Day and World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly.
  • Ensure the safety and safeguarding of children, young people, and vulnerable adults in all aspects of ministry and interactions.
  • Actively contribute to Evangelisation Brisbane’s culture of Christ-centeredness, authenticity, and innovation.

About You:

  • A passion for supporting children and families in living out their faith.
  • A solid understanding of the Catholic Church’s mission and values.
  • Experience in working with families, preferably within ministry settings.
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, for engaging with children, families, and diverse community stakeholders.
  • Strong organisational and project management skills with an ability to work collaboratively in a team.

Desirable Qualities:

  • Undergraduate education in theology, education, or liberal arts (completed or in progress).
  • Creative skills in technologies such as graphic design, photography, or video editing.
  • Experience using social media and web-based platforms to engage communities.

Challenges:

  • Cultivating strong relationships with diverse stakeholders, including parishes, schools, and clergy.
  • Implementing new initiatives in a dynamic and evolving ministry context.
  • Balancing ministry work with frontline stakeholders while adhering to deadlines and managing multiple projects.
