Job Summary:

Ridley Hall is seeking to appoint a Tutor to lead Ridley Hall’s Online Apprentices Progamme to take up a post from September 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter. Ridley Hall has been a centre of expertise in Children, Young People and Family Ministry (CYPF) for many years and is looking for someone to join their expanding team.  We are looking for applicants with relevant academic and practical experience, able to oversee our Online Apprentices Programme, and support other elements of its CYPF programme. There would be an expectation to teach at least to degree level, and preferably beyond, to support other areas of Ridley’s CYPF programme.

This particular post comes with an expectation that the role holder will also be a Formation Tutor to Ridley’s  Online Students; support CYPF student ministers in placement; and work with the Dean of Lay Ministry, Directors of Studies and wider Lay Ministry Team to assist in the ongoing strategic development of Ridley Hall’s CYPF Ministry training.
