We are seeking a passionate and experienced Fundraising Officer to help unlock the financial support needed to decarbonise churches, schools, and clergy housing across six dioceses: Worcester, Hereford, Gloucester, Birmingham, Coventry, and Lichfield. The six dioceses are working in partnership in our mission to embrace the drive towards becoming Net Zero Carbon.

In this exciting role, you will play a vital role in enabling the church to reduce emissions from buildings and transport, supporting our commitment to environmental stewardship. You will collaborate with teams in all six dioceses and take the lead on:

This role will suit a person who has a passion for sustainability and the ability to inspire others to support your cause. Strategic thinking and relationship building skills will be important as well as the ability to engage in complex stakeholder environments. We are looking for a person who is empathetic and committed to the role of church buildings as local centers of Christian worship and mission; you will have sympathy with the aims and values of the Church of England.
