Community manager jobs

About Church Army

Church Army exists to ensure that those on the margins of society know and experience the transformative love of Jesus Christ. 

We are an Anglican evangelistic mission agency and our founder’s aim was to reach those who felt no affinity with the church. Rather than expecting people to come into church buildings, he instead grew a community of evangelists who went wherever they were needed to share the message of Jesus in word and action.

With the same mission in mind, we have never stood still, always adapting to the changing needs around us. We now have a mission community of over 500, including over 200 active Commissioned Evangelists working across the UK and Ireland.

Under the leadership of a new CEO, Matt Barlow, Church Army is going through a period of considerable change which will shape the charity for generations to come.

About the role

The Director of Engagement (DoE) role has a pivotal role to play in the future of Church Army. Working closely with the CEO as part of the Senior Leadership Team, the DoE will lead the fundraising and communications strategy and provide oversight to the Engagement Team.

Given this period of change, the role needs someone with a good degree of agility, flexibility, and resilience. The right candidate will be more of a leader than a manager – but with the ability to do both – with an ability to operate in a faith based sector. Both humility and courage are essential characteristics.

We are seeking a strategic leader, with a track record of success in income generation, who can lead and develop a high-performing team and drive change through vital season.

How to Apply 

Carnelian has been appointed by the Board to lead this search. Please get in touch if you would like to explore this role further.

Interviews with Carnelian will take place in September 2025. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to interview with Church Army in October 2025.

About us 

We are National Energy Action (NEA) – and our vision is to end fuel poverty. Our work to improve and promote energy efficiency brings social, environmental, housing and employment benefits.  We believe everyone should be able to afford to keep their homes warm and safe. However, low incomes, high energy bills and poor energy efficiency currently deny this to millions of households across the UK.  Never has this been more important than today.

NEA’s teams are friendly, knowledgeable and are dedicated to what we do.  We are proud of our expertise and proud of the service we deliver to our clients.

We offer colleagues a friendly, rewarding workplace and the chance to build a worthwhile career with a not-for-profit organisation that makes a genuine difference to people’s lives each and every day. 

The role 

We’re looking for a passionate and proactive Energy Adviser to deliver advice and support right where it’s needed most — in the heart of local communities across North London.

This isn’t your typical office-based role. You’ll be the face of NEA’s Mobile Advice Centre, a specially equipped vehicle you’ll drive to community hubs, events, and neighbourhoods to provide one-to-one support, group sessions, and energy-saving guidance. 

This is a fantastic opportunity to combine your energy advice expertise with on-the-ground outreach – building relationships, offering support in-person, and making a real difference to people’s lives where they live. Whether you’re parked at a local market or set up at a community centre, your role will be hands-on, visible, and truly impactful. 

What you’ll need to succeed 

• A full driving licence and confidence travelling across North London 
• Experience giving energy advice to householders, particularly those in vulnerable or low-income situations 
• A genuine passion for community outreach and engagement 
• Excellent communication and problem-solving skills 
• A flexible, empathetic approach with the ability to work independently 

This role offers variety, autonomy, and the chance to play a vital part in tackling fuel poverty on the ground. You’ll also be part of a supportive, values-led team that’s committed to making a meaningful difference. 

If you’re excited by the idea of taking your expertise on the road and connecting directly with communities, we’d love to hear from you.
