Summary

About the Diocese

Bishop Sophie was appointed the 10th Bishop of Coventry in 2024 and took up the legal responsibility in February 2025. As the Bishops House is refurbished, she is using this time to prepare well for this new responsibility building on her experience of episcopal ministry over the past five years. She will commence public duties from the date of her welcome service on 7 June 2025.

Bishop Sophie will, in due time, share her episcopal authority and responsibility fully and collegially within the Diocese with the Bishop of Warwick once appointed, but will first take time to form a clear picture of the Diocese before beginning that process of appointment.

She will work closely with the Dean of Coventry, the Archdeacons, and the other members of the Bishop's Senior Staff Team. This missionary and apostolic oversight is of course shared with every licensed priest, but among them especially, the area deans. Governance responsibility for the Diocese is likewise shared, principally through the Bishop's Council and Diocesan Synod.

The Bishop's Chaplain will:

• Work to the Bishop, her agenda and priorities, focused on assisting her ministry, with wisdom, good humour, and steadfast hope.
• Be emotionally intelligent and theologically alert, with a strong ability for reading people and situations, relating well across a diverse range of ages, personalities, cultures and theological convictions.
• Be flexible and adaptable, able to work to tight deadlines, to prioritise, to cope with complex and competing demands, and to assemble resources on a wide variety of subjects.
• Enjoy working as part of a small team, with the spontaneity and natural generosity which interdependence requires.
• Provide pastoral support to the Bishop's Staff, with a proven capacity to work calmly and effectively through more stressful seasons of ministry.
• Support the Bishop in liaising with colleagues over matters of strategic development in the mission of the Diocese.
• Take primary responsibility, on behalf of the Bishop, for worship and prayer in the life of the Bishop's Senior Staff Team and to help shape a pattern of prayer in the Bishops House Chapel which is sustainable and life giving, including occasional services of Holy Communion.

For more information please refer to the Job Description & Person Specification document.

Closing date for applications is 15 March 2025

Key requirements

• The Chaplain's main place of work is the Bishop's Office at The Bishop's House.
• The expectation is of a similar time commitment as a parish priest. As a general rule the Chaplain will be expected to share in morning worship outside office hours, and to keep office hours of 9.00 am to 5.00 pm with a break for lunch. There is an expectation of some work, and ministry being exercised, outside office hours. There will be some evening commitments. The rest day is generally a Friday or Saturday.
• The post is subject to Safer Recruitment Processes and a satisfactory Enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) Disclosure.
• This post has attached to it an Occupational Requirement under the 2010 Equality Act, Part 1, Schedule 9.

What we offer

• A salary of £33,058 per annum (equivalent to the stipend of a Residentiary Canon).
• A house (or housing allowance) will be provided to enable the Chaplain to carry out their duties.
• Clergy already in the Church of England Funded Pensions Scheme (CEFPS) will have the option of either remaining in this scheme or joining the PB14 scheme. In addition to the employer age-related contribution (between 8-15% of salary), the employer also matches the employee contributions in whole percentages up to 3%. Employees enrolled into PB2014 will be automatically enrolled to contribute 3% of their pensionable salary. The employee can choose to increase or decrease their contribution at any time.
• 30 days annual leave FTE.
• Access to Occupational Health, and an Employee Assistance Programme.

The Diocese is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. All post holders are expected to share this commitment and to comply with the relevant safeguarding policy.

We are looking for an energetic Immigration Adviser (OISC Level 2) to provide advice and casework to destitute migrants, including mothers accessing the Magpie Project.

Praxis Community Projects is a dynamic, award-winning human rights charity supporting migrants in crisis or at- risk, ensuring that their essential human needs are met and that they are able to overcome the barriers they face. We provide legal advice and a range of welfare support including group work. We build community, challenge exclusion and discrimination, influence policy, improve services and inspire solidarity with migrants.

The Magpie Project is a community space that supports mothers with under 5-year olds who are subject to the No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF) Condition. A key part of this role will involve outreach at The Magpie Project’s community center in Newham where immigration assessments will be undertaken. As the community centre is a women-only space, the post-holder will need to be a woman so they can attend outreach. The postholder will also carry a caseload of cases from the Magpie Project, as well as other avenues when the need arises.

The partnership with Magpie aims to provide immigration advice services directly in a community space where trust has already been established, and where mums can access a variety of other support services at the same location.  

The ideal candidate will have an in-depth knowledge of immigration and asylum law, as well as have a good understanding of the challenges faced by migrants with NRPF and those at risk of homelessness. They will be able to step immediately into a busy advice environment that includes independent outreach.

At Praxis, we work to build community, challenge exclusion and discrimination, influence policy and improve services. We played a leading role in exposing the Windrush scandal and advocate and campaign for lasting changes to policy and practice to address the root causes of the issues faced by at-risk migrants.

Praxis is an equal opportunity employer and strongly encourage applications from those with lived experience of migration, and from diverse applicants regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marital/civil partnership status, race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation, or pregnancy/maternity leave status.

Could you build and support a fundraising community to help tackle health inequalities for people affected by cancer in the North West?

Are you passionate about the power of communities to make real change happen through fundraising?

Working for a leading cancer charity as their brand-new Regional Fundraiser, you'll help schools, community groups, individual volunteers and local businesses to fund world-class research. Through award-winning, high-impact campaigns, you'll challenge the cause, improve the care and find the cure for cancer.

Salary: £29-34k (able to appoint across the band)
Contract: Permanent, either full time, part-time or reduced hours
Location: Homebased, with regular travel across your local patch (and team meetings held in Liverpool)
Benefits: 25 days (+ bank and Christmas closure), 5% employer pension contribution
Culture: Flexible, supportive, able to work with autonomy

About the charity

Living in the North West, we're 25% more likely to be diagnosed with cancer than elsewhere in the UK and many cancers are much more common across the region. The region also suffers from extreme social-deprivation and health inequalities which, when combined, lead to a lower-than-average life-expectancy and poorer quality of life for our communities.

Community fundraising is an important vehicle to challenge this - by raising money and awareness.

There are two roles in the team - one full time and one part-time. Regions could be either Greater Manchester, Lancashire or North Wales - you'll be homebased with travel across the patch to meet supporters.

We're flexible on how the region is split, depending on where talented people live.

What will I be fundraising for?

Recent fundable projects include a groundbreaking annual Regional Report on cancer and the innovative Lab-Coat Learning education programme for the region's schools.

You'll act as the face of the charity out in the community, spreading the word about how fundraising can drive positive change. You'll develop relationships with volunteer fundraisers, community groups and local businesses, encouraging and motivating them to fundraise.

You'll deliver interactive presentations, activities and outreach sessions at schools and volunteer groups, offering support, advice and guidance on how people can supercharge their fundraising.

About you

You join a passionate and well-established fundraising team, who genuinely care about and support one another.

Key attributes we're looking for in our new Regional Fundraiser:

• Experience working in a face-to-face role, either fundraising, sales, account or volunteer management.
• Engaging presentation skills, able to inspire people to take action.
• Strong interpersonal and relationship-building skills.
• A self-motivated individual, capable of working independently and as part of a team.
• Target-driven, comfortable and confident working with achievable KPIs and targets.
• A team player, someone who brings the best out in other people.
• Flexibility to attend fundraising events, including some evenings and weekends.
• Ability to travel independently across the North West.

If you're driven by making a difference in the fight against cancer, then step forward: we'd absolutely love to hear from you.

Please send a copy of your profile or CV to Ellen Drummond at Charity People as the first step.
