Christians Against Poverty is a dynamic and growing mission with a strong vision, award winning culture and passionate workforce. CAP exists to equip the local church so that it may effectively serve the poor and proclaim Jesus. We have developed highly effective expertise to break into the hellish mix of poverty, isolation, chaos and severe stress, delivering hope, peace, and freedom through our compassion and technical excellence. Due to our debt help work, we are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and are required to meet high regulatory standards.
Working at CAP is exhilarating because we experience partnership with the living Christ and the power of His resurrection as we see thousands of people freed from debt, connected with a loving community and saved. We have a huge, collective ambition to see people freed from poverty, and to see them come to know Jesus’ abundant life and find belonging in his family.
CAP’s work in the UK is delivered through over 300 head office staff in Bradford who serve the frontline teams and volunteers that make up a vibrant network of around 600 community franchise centres. CAP UK, as the founding national franchise, also supports and equips country franchises growing in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and America.
CAP lives out the belief that culture eats strategy for breakfast (though we’re pretty keen on strategy too, so we have that for lunch). We invest in and seek to thoroughly integrate our core values into who we are and how we do what we do. To join CAP is to commit to growing with us into being more Christ centred, generous, passionate, united, compassionate, fun, excellent and courageous.
The role of the Director of Technology and Digital Transformation, reporting into Jon Day our COO, is a critical one, particularly at this time in leading the digital transformation of our flagship debt service.
