Job Summary:
Ridley Hall is seeking to appoint a Tutor to teach in the area of Youth Ministry to take up 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. Having grown our range of training provision, we are looking for applicants
with specialist skills in the field of Youth Ministry, with significant professional experience and
widespread networks in the field, who can support others in developing skills in good practice in
working with young people. This includes working with those beginning in their youth ministry career,
but also high level practitioners. The role also includes significant support to a new project supporting
Church of England clergy to develop youth ministry in their ministry contexts. There is also an
expectation that the Youth Tutor would also be involved with Ridley’s recently launched Catalyst30K

candidates for both lay and ordained ministry. They deliver assessed modules via the Common Awards
programme, and formational training, both in-person and on-line, but also contribute to wider
formation through involvement in other aspects of the life of the College. This particular post comes
with an expectation that the role holder will also be a Reflective Practice Tutor to lay ministry
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.
