Part-Time Verger(s)
For Saturdays and occasional Sundays at
St Martha-on-the-Hill
We are currently recruiting for one or possibly two part-time assistant Vergers to work on Saturdays and occasional Sundays to assist in ensuring the smooth running of this iconic pilgrim church.
St Martha’s is a small and beautiful old church perched on top of the Surrey Hills and located on the Pilgrims’ path between Winchester and Canterbury. Although in a seemingly remote location it does, in fact, have limited vehicular access.
St Martha’s is a surprisingly busy place. The church holds weekly Sunday services at 11.15, as well as special services (funerals, weddings, and baptisms), along with concerts and other events.
The assistant Verger’s role is rewarding and varied consisting of welcoming visitors, keeping the church clean and tidy and assisting with church services as needed. Additional activities include helping with afternoon teas and coffees.
The assistant Verger normally will work on Saturdays with the occasional Sunday. The hours are from 10am to 4pm (or 3pm depending on the time of year) and the rate of pay is £16 per hour.
If you would like to discuss the post or receive more information and/or if you would like to visit St Martha’s before you apply, please contact the Church Warden Helen Corbett (07710 750909 or email churchwarden@parishofchilworth.org.uk)
