This sort of opportunity doesn’t come around very often. Serving in a key leadership role at national Church level is a role worth taking a close look at. Reporting to the Chair, you will work alongside the Board of Trustees as well as other key parts of the Free Church of Scotland at a national level - yet you will also support the work of our local churches across Scotland and beyond, and our international mission.
In leading the Central Office, you will shape and implement the Board’s ambitious strategy and priorities, in support of bringing good news to communities. You will help people join things together, take initiative and pursue the direction of travel. You will inspire people with your commitment and energy for the ambitions of the Church as well as your professionalism as a leader and manager. You will understand what good governance is all about in leading an organisation, ensuring effective people management, financial management and risk management.
If you enjoy complexity, are in tune with our values and ethos, and are seeking a role that offers breadth and scope, the opportunity to influence within and beyond the Church, and, ultimately, help bring good news to people, we welcome your interest. Please read our ‘Information for Applicants’.
