About Us
Beaconsfield United Reformed Church serves two very different communities. Beaconsfield itself is
well-resourced, with an active church life. A short distance away, Holtspur has some challenges -
isolation, cost-of-living pressure, and too few places for people to simply connect. We’re investing in
our Holtspur building to change that, and now we need someone to bring it to life.
The role
This is a rare chance to shape a role from the ground up. As our Community Development Worker,
you won’t be managing an established programme - you’ll be building one. You’ll get to know
Holtspur street by street, person by person, and turn what you learn into activities that genuinely
matter: community meals, support for the elderly, family and children’s groups, informal spaces
where people feel they belong. You’ll recruit and grow volunteers around you, and you’ll help make
our refurbished Holtspur building the welcoming hub it’s meant to be.
Faith sits at the centre of this role. You’ll work closely with our Minister and Eldership, and you’ll
have the confidence to create natural, unforced opportunities for people to explore Christian faith
alongside the practical support you offer. This post carries an occupational requirement under
Schedule 9 of the Equality Act 2010 for the postholder to be a practising Christian.

Please send a CV along with a personal statement (max. two sides of A4) to the contact below telling
us about your experience building relationships and communities, how you’d go about
understanding Holtspur’s needs, your track record of working with others to create change, and
what draws you to this role.
