Are you passionate about creating fun, safe spaces where kids can grow, connect, and explore faith?
Highfields Community Church is launching a brand-new, weekly after-school program for primary school kids (Prep–Year 6). We’re looking for a warm, energetic leader to bring this vision to life—building a vibrant space where local children and families feel known, welcomed, and valued.
This isn’t just a weekly program—it’s an opportunity to pioneer a brand-new outreach, build relationships with local families, and make a lasting impact in the Highfields community.

Lead the Fun: Coordinate and run high-energy Friday afternoon sessions featuring games, crafts, engaging Bible lessons, and mentoring.
-
Build Relationships: Welcome parents at drop-off and pick-up, serving as a friendly bridge between local families and the wider church community.
-
Empower the Team: Guide, mentor, and roster a passionate group of volunteers to deliver safe, unforgettable experiences for the kids.
-
Design & Plan: Use your flexible hours to prep lessons, coordinate logistics, and shape the direction of the club.

An Engaging Leader: You know how to command a room full of energetic kids with warmth, positivity, and clear boundaries.
-
A Natural Connection-Maker: You’re approachable, organised, and genuinely enjoy building rapport with parents, volunteers, and leaders.
-
Community Alignment: A willingness to pop into a Sunday service once a month to stay connected with the broader Highfields Church family.
