Growing Younger Advisor Roles
The Growing Younger Team is newly established in Salisbury Diocese, funded nationally, to develop a vision and strategy that will address and reverse the overall decline of the younger generations (0-50s) across the diocese. These are new roles within the Diocese of Salisbury, offering an exciting opportunity to deliver our bold commitment to make Jesus known in every place so that all may flourish and grow.
About The Candidate
As Growing Younger Advisor, you will help to embed a culture of intergenerational mission and discipleship across the Diocese, ensuring that a growing number of our younger generations encounter the love of God in Christ and live out their faith with confidence.
You will encourage, support and resource parishes in contextually appropriate ways to grow and develop sustainable ministry with either children, families and young people or young people and young adults, depending on the role you wish to apply for.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

These roles will help to nurture courageous Christian leadership, deepen partnership between schools, churches and communities, and ensure that the voice and leadership of younger generations are at the heart of our shared life. If your heart beats faster at the thought of inspiring ministry with the next generation of disciples, cultivating a younger and more diverse church that is confident in the Gospel, and shaping the adventure of making Jesus known, we would love to hear from you.
