About Church Army
We are an Anglican evangelistic mission agency whose purpose is to ensure that those on the margins of society know and experience the transformative love of Jesus Christ.

With the same mission in mind, we have never stood still, always adapting to the changing needs around us. We now have over 200 Commissioned Evangelists working across the UK and Ireland.
Our work is as varied as the needs that exist. We work with the elderly, families, youth and children, across food poverty, homelessness, social isolation, education and mental health, church planting, chaplaincy, bible study and youth church.
The Role
We are seeking to appoint a new CEO with a heartfelt commitment to sharing God’s love with those most in need across the UK and Ireland. The ideal candidate will draw on their deep leadership experience and ability to develop and articulate an inspiring vision to lead Church Army as it continues to adapt to an ever-changing landscape of needs.

About us and what we do
Be the Business was established as an independent charity in 2017 by a group of prominent business figures led by our chair Sir Charlie Mayfield, in response to the UK’s poor productivity performance.
