We are now seeking to employ a full time Community Worker to head up our St Caths Plus project, taking over from Esther who has been working two days a week since the summer, reaching out to serve older people in the community of Pontypridd. The new full-time St Caths Plus Community Worker will be responsible for developing our work with the range of older people in Pontypridd, from those who retire young to centenarians. This will include meeting their physical, social, emotional and spiritual needs. Working with older people throughout the wider community, the post holder will aim to enhance people’s older years by developing a range of social activities from lunches to tea dances, concerts and trips away, as well as putting on a variety of daytime clubs offering everything from Welsh lessons to keep fit, and ensuring a strong pastoral care network. Much of this work will be based in the Community Hall we own in the centre of Pontypridd.
St Catherine’s is a growing church with a simple desire to see people’s lives made better. The St Caths Plus Community Worker is a key leadership post at St Catherine’s and needs someone with creativity, initiative and a real desire to serve older people.
The post is funded by the Lottery, and in our first round of advertising, we omitted to advertise in Welsh which we had promised to do. We apologise for this, and have agreed to re-advertise in order to keep the terms of the grant which the Lottery have very generously given us for this work. The new application date is July 2nd, and interviews will be on the weekend of July 17th and 18th, though if this is a problem candidates should simply let us know and we will find a way around it! The new links to more details, and to the Welsh version, will be here soon. For now, if you are interested, contact Marcus at vicar@st-caths.org. We hope the new holder of the post will begin with us on September 1st.
