Summary
About the role and department:
The Vision and Strategy team has been established to support the whole Church in its engagement with the national Vision and Strategy for the Church for the 2020s, and to support implementation of the Emerging Church programme. The team is also the lead owner of the strategy within the NCIs, and therefore responsible for ensuring that the work of other teams within the NCIs is aligned to the strategy and helps ensure its delivery across the Church. The team is responsible for ensuring implementation of the Emerging Church programme across the NCIs.
The team consults on and manages the distribution of significant national funding. The team champions the three strategic priorities of the strategy to enable us to be a church for everyone: missionary disciples, younger and more diverse, and mixed ecology and the six bold outcomes that arise from the strategy.
Your core responsibilities will include:
- Own the development of specific strategic actions within the Vision and Strategy as agreed with your supervisor.
- Lead the 27,000 volunteers workstream of the 30K Project.
- Run and grow the national weekly prayer meeting for 'Doubling the number of children and active young disciples in the Church of England by 2030'.
- Lead and support the Vanguard network for youth leaders with larger youth groups.
- Work on the development of the twenty-eight:nineteen project for peer-to-peer evangelism amongst secondary-school aged young people.
About you
The Church of England is for everyone and we want to reflect the diversity of the communities we serve across the whole country. Therefore, while of course we welcome all applications from all interested and suitably experienced people, we would particularly welcome applicants from UK Minoritised Ethnicities (UKME)/Global Majority Heritage (GMH) and other under-represented groups.
You will have:
- Proven track record in working with wide range of stakeholders from senior leaders to engaging the voice of members of the public.
- A good understanding of the variety of tradition within the church and the importance of engaging across the breath of this.
- Passion for an experience of church work with children and young people.
- Proven track record in developing and implementing effective strategies for Children youth and families work over a significant area (e.g. a Diocese).
- High standards of project management and proven experience in delivering projects and campaigns to time and quality.
- Self-motivated, proactive and committed to achieving results.
- Leadership qualities and the ability to command the respect of others.
