Work With Us: Join with God's Mission at St. Mary’s Comber
St. Mary’s is a welcoming Christian community at the heart of Comber. We are entering an exciting season of growth—both as a town and as a church—and we are looking for two dedicated individuals to join our staff team.
​
Two Roles. One Mission. Whether you have the administrative gifts to keep our parish mission organised and efficient, or a heart for nurturing the faith of the next generation, your skills could play a vital role in our future.
Occupational Requirement There is an occupational requirement for the post-holder of each role to be a practising Christian, able to subscribe to the "Being a Christian" statement. This statement, which outlines the core of our faith, can be found appended to each Job Description or viewed on the Church of Ireland website
​​Closing date for applications: Friday 30th January 2026 at 12:00 Noon
Interview Dates: Monday 9th or Thursday 12th February
​
Note on Combined Appointments: St Mary’s Parish is currently recruiting for both the Parish Administrator and Family Development Worker roles. While these are distinct positions with separate funding and contractual terms (Permanent vs. 3-Year Fixed Term), we recognise that some exceptional candidates may possess the professional skill set required for both areas.
​
We welcome applications for both roles to create a combined full-time portfolio of 39 hours per week.
​
Please Note: The actual salary for each role is calculated pro-rata based on a 37-hour full-time equivalent (FTE) baseline, as detailed in the respective Job Descriptions.
​
How to Apply for Both: If you wish to be considered for both positions, please submit a separate application form for each role. This allows our selection panel to accurately assess your experience against the specific criteria for each distinct area of ministry.
