St James’s Church draws together a diverse set of worship, events and social justice actions as part of its life as an Anglican parish church in central London. The Church is a landmark in the heart of the West End, with its distinctive red brick and Portland stone dressings and arched windows on the north and south walls flooding the interior with clear light. The Church is well-known locally and valued nationally for its work with some of society’s most vulnerable people, and its inclusive and diverse cultural activities.
The role of Verger involves ensuring the smooth running of the day-to-day activities both in the church and across the wider site and under the direction of the clergy and Head Verger to facilitate, participate in and contribute to the worshiping life of the church. The essential requirements are to be self-motivated and proactive, being open with dealing with responsibilities; to have good communication skills and the ability to work with a wide range of people, at times in challenging circumstances; to be computer literate and confident in administration. Previous experience as a Verger would be advantageous.
St James’s is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. All post holders and volunteers are expected to share this commitment.
St James’s actively welcomes applications from people who are currently underrepresented in our community including people with global majority heritage, people with lived experience of poverty and people who identify as LGBTQ+.
