Are you looking for a unique opportunity to grow and develop your career? If you are passionate about racial justice, equality and inclusion, we have an amazing position for you.

Charity People are delighted to be partnering with the Diocese of Southwark, a rich vibrant mix of churches, schools, chaplaincies and communities across South London and East Surrey, to bring on board a Racial Justice Development Lead.

The Diocese of Southwark is one of the 42 dioceses of the Church of England, created in 1905 from part of the ancient Diocese of Rochester. The Diocese covers South London and East Surrey, is one of the largest Dioceses in the Church of England and the most diverse, and is divided into three episcopal areas: Croydon, Kingston, and Woolwich. Today the Diocese ministers to nearly three million people over an area of 317 square miles through its 293 parishes and 105 church schools. The churches offer welcome, care and dignity to their parishes, supporting those in education, hospitals and prisons, and pioneering communities seeking to reach out and serve in new ways.

Working under the Bishop's Lead for Social and Racial Justice and the Diocesan Secretary, the Racial Justice Development Lead will promote and implement the Diocesan Anti-Racism Charter (ARC). Launched in March 2021, the ARC was introduced to actively counter, disrupt and oppose racial injustice. The role will focus on promotion, engagement, training, resources, research, and data monitoring, while addressing the needs of the wider Diocese and parishes.

Key responsibilities

• Advocate for racial justice within Diocesan structures, by promoting best practices in diversity, inclusion, and belonging with a biblical foundation.
• Provide support and advice to parishes, deaneries and clergy on implementing the Anti-Racism Charter and developing culturally appropriate worship and faith practices.
• Collaborate with parishes, schools and Area Racial Justice Groups to share experiences, support meetings, and coordinate events related to racial justice.
• Collect, analyse and report data on racial injustice, ensuring alignment with Diocesan and National Church Requirements, while staying informed on relevant trends.

Candidates will have a strong understanding of racial justice, anti-racism, equality, and inclusion, especially within a church context, and have proven ability to lead engagement/change programmes. The ideal candidate will be able to collaborate with diverse stakeholders from various disciplines and perspectives. Experience in organising medium to large events and a willingness to understand the structure and dynamics of the Church of England and its Dioceses is desirable. Collaboration is a core value for Diocesan staff and therefore you must be able to work as part of a team for this role.

The role may involve travel across the Diocese and requires flexibility, including occasional evening and weekend meetings.

This position is subject to an occupational requirement that the postholder be a practising Christian under Part 1 of Schedule 9 of the Equality Act.

This is a unique opportunity for someone to make a meaningful impact on the Diocese and the broader National Church by advancing racial justice for all. If you are excited by this, and have the relevant skills and experience to apply, we would be delighted to hear from you.

SPORT, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, FAITH, ADVENTURE, CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE, WELLBEING, FULLNESS OF LIFE, LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT, FUN.

One of our key objectives at Sportily is to develop and invest in young sports leaders. Over the past 18 months we’ve designed a pilot programme to enable this and trialled elements of it. We’re now looking for someone to further develop, shape and own our programme, to work alongside our network of Sport and Faith Coaches to deliver it and to hold leadership level responsibility for seeing the wildly important goals of the programme realised within our wider vision.

At the heart of this role you’ll hold Leadership Team level responsibility for the programme which provides opportunities, within a Christian sports centred setting and framework, for children, young people and young adults (with a priority on the more disadvantaged) to gain skills, experience, training and qualifications to increase their self-esteem, confidence and future employment opportunities. This will include responsibility for its ongoing development, leading its delivery approaches, training the Sport and Faith Team in its delivery, exploring opportunities related to the programme, monitoring and evaluating its impact and reporting this to stakeholders.

We are looking for someone who loves sport and understands how sport and movement is able to connect people and is passionate about sharing the Christian faith in innovative ways beyond the walls of traditional church. You’ll have experience in developing programmes and monitoring their successful achievement of stated objectives, and of investing in the leadership development potential of young people, ideally in a sporting context.

If you like the sound of Sportily and the role, but aren’t sure you’ve got everything we’re looking for, please get in touch as we’d love to discuss things with you. Who knows where that conversation might lead.

ROTA are seeking an experienced Service Development Manager, to join its team. Help us end systemic racism in Britain!

This role spearheads the development and execution of a strategic plan to dismantle systemic racism within the housing systems, ultimately leading to greater housing equity for Black and Global Majority (BGM) communities.

The position will encompass a multifaceted approach, focusing on Policy & Advocacy, Community Collaboration & Empowerment, and Service Delivery Innovation.

The aim of ROTA’s housing project, funded by the Oak Foundation, is to examine the racial inequities that continue to plague the housing sector. Using a community-based peer research approach, we will put the lived experiences of Black and Global Majority communities who have been affected by insecure housing at the heart of this research, amplifying their voices through dedicated campaigning and advocacy.

We ultimately hope that the findings from this research can be used to formulate meaningful policy and influence practice to help end discriminatory practices in the housing sector.
