Use your leadership skills to inspire people to follow Jesus among the world’s least reached people. 

About us

At Feba, we are passionate about God’s mission and the creative use of radio and audio media to inspire people to follow Jesus. We have a particular heart for people in contexts considered closed, where people might not hear the gospel by any other means or where it’s difficult to be a Christian. These people probably won’t be reached without us, and radio and audio media provide a way of reaching them at scale.

About our development

Since we were established 65 years ago as a shortwave radio ministry much has changed with big shifts in technology, missiology and geopolitics.

We no longer operate radio infrastructure or ‘send’ missionaries from the UK. Instead, we support local people with training, expertise and funding to produce culturally appropriate programmes in a listener’s ‘heart language’ - and to follow up in-person wherever possible.

Our locally-led approach, in line with best-practice in Christian mission, is having greater and more enduring impact, and has enabled our work to expand far beyond our original focus on South Asia to countries across Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

About the role

Feba now seeks a CEO to lead our growth, develop and deliver a strategic plan, embed an empowering, learning culture in our team and build relationships in the UK Church and with our sister organisations around the world.  

About you

You will have experience of leadership in a multi-cultural context, a track record of delivering organisational change, growth, strategy development and execution, and a love of mission. You will come with an empowering, prayerful and servant-hearted leadership style that listens deeply and fosters collaboration.

If this sounds like you we would love to hear from you.
