Mothers’ Union is a global Christian movement working to transform lives, strengthen families and advocate for change.
Active for nearly 150 years and now with 4 million members in 84 countries, our development programmes have extraordinary reach and an approach that is in line with best practice – our members serve in their local communities, have strong established relationships, and are there for the long term. They see what is needed, where it is needed and work as volunteers to help others. This local knowledge, combined with their Christian faith perspective enables transformation in the communities they serve.
Our programmes, which take an Asset Based Community Transformation approach, are focused around the three pillars identified by our members of stopping violence (especially gender-based violence), poverty and injustice.
We now seek a Director of Global Programmes to build on the excellent work to date to ensure there is consistency in approach, and that the local teams have the necessary capability and capacity in place to deliver to time, quality and budget. Our desire is to do this without losing the relational and member-led approach we have always taken, and to extend the work into more countries.
This will require a best-in-class development leader with a mature Christian faith, the ability to shape culture and convert vision into operational strategies that enable growth. You will be a brilliant team builder and collaborator who balances trust and accountability and you will likely have experience of working in a networked organization, with and through volunteers.
