For several years St Michael le Belfrey Church have run a Parish Assistant scheme which enables people to work voluntarily for the church for a year in exchange for accommodation and training.

Past and present assistants have worked with Admin, Alpha course, Children’s Work, Youth Work, Music and Worship and Prayer.

Next year (from September 2008 to September 2009) we hope to have a “Parish Assistant” working with G2.  We are delighted to have applications from people who are different stages of life: school-leavers, graduates, those returning to work or early retirement etc.  It’s a great opportunity to be part of the wider St Mikes staff team and the G2 leadership teams and to really commit a year of your life to serving God is a very specific way.  We will find accommodation for you, if you need it, and we will offer you training with the York School for Theology as well as in house training with the staff.

To find out more, download the application pack. This contains job descriptions for all the Parish Assistant roles as well as the job description for the G2 role.
