Employment and volunteers

Many churches employ part time or full time paid workers to work with children, young people, and families within their local community.

The Church has written guidelines for employment, and provides guidance on safeguarding and good practice.

For more information about employing staff and working with volunteers within the church visit our Employment and volunteers section.
