As a Church we are looking to employ a Youth Worker, can we just select someone who we think is suitable from within the Church membership and if they are agreeable employ them in this post or do we need to advertise the position to the wider community?

There is no general duty for an employer to advertise job vacancies. However there is an obligation for employers not to discriminate against employees or potential employees. Also, if an existing employee of the Church believes a job has not been fairly advertised, an employer could a receive a grievance from that employee.
The arrangements for advertising jobs or the decision not to advertise a job must not be discriminatory. If the workforce is made up of people with a particular protected characteristic, for example sex, race, age, recruiting internally or on the basis of a recommendation will not help to diversify the workforce and could constitute discrimination.
Hope that helps.
