Job description

Summary

This role is the Communications Officer for the CYF Network and Teams responsible for national departments.
About the 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 brings together existing responsibilities previously held in the Renewal and Reform team, the Evangelism and Discipleship team, and the Strategy and Development Unit integrating them into a coherent offer of support for all the key elements of the vision and strategy for the 2020s. The team will be 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 which arise from the strategy.
