Contract: Permanent

We’re looking for a forward-thinking People professional who can deliver strategic leadership in driving our people, culture and change agenda. As an agency of the Church, informed by Catholic Social Teaching, the dignity and sacredness of all people is our starting point. Our mission takes a particular concern for those who experience poverty and are marginalised, oppressed or excluded. This “preferential option for the poor” requires that we recognise how systems, structures and behaviours can work against people and undermine the very dignity that we profess. At the heart of CAFOD’s approach is what Pope Francis calls a “culture of encounter” whereby we seek to restore and strengthen relationships and seek the common good, through dialogue and deep listening, understanding, respect and generosity.

CAFOD has a new strategy, Our Common Home which seeks to make strategic shifts to our ways of working. We have started on this journey, seeking to better enable and support leadership of our partners and this will have an impact on CAFOD’s own role as an international NGO. Our strategy talks about us wanting to “dare to be different” in addressing the causes of injustice, poverty, and environmental destruction. We will continue to mobilise, engage and connect with the Catholic community in England and Wales.

At CAFOD we work towards a vision of a world where every person can flourish and fulfil their potential, and that the earth is protected and cared for.  We work across the world with people, regardless of gender, disability, age, race, ethnicity, nationality, culture, sexual orientation, political or religious belief. We acknowledge and celebrate diversity, and the strength it gives us, as we come together and seek justice for all. Yet we know that there is much to do to address inequalities in an authentic way. CAFOD is a strong values-based organisation and seeks to ensure that all its activity reflects its values of hope, dignity, solidarity and compassion. 

It is an exciting time to join CAFOD. We have a new strategy, an inspiring vision and a commitment to standing alongside those who face discrimination and specifically to be an anti-racist organisation.

Whether it be the impact of COVID on ways of working and well-being or tackling discrimination in the development sector, it is an important and challenging time where CAFOD and its staff and volunteers need to continue to evolve and change in a way that is collaborative and authentic.
