Operation Christmas Child UK (OCC) has implemented a strategic volunteer ministry, investing in teams of volunteers who will multiply themselves and hugely extend the reach of OCC’s mission.

OCC is the world’s largest shoebox appeal where Samaritan’s Purse, together with local churches here and overseas, distributes from the UK 1/4 million gift-filled shoeboxes annually to children in need overseas and in so doing demonstrates God’s love in a tangible way while sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ.

A resourceful and energetic Regional Manager is needed to recruit, select, equip, and lead teams of volunteers throughout the 32 London boroughs.

You will be passionate about developing others towards highly effective ministry, teamwork and increased personal competency.

You will also directly engage churches to participate in OCC in areas not yet covered by Connect volunteers. A special opportunity will be engaging London churches that have partnered with our sister ministry, Billy Graham Evangelistic Association for the June 2025 God Loves You Tour London.

You will be confident to take initiative with people and projects and also have good administrative and organisational skills. You will also enjoy envisioning the numerous volunteers who participate in the OCC shoebox appeal each year.

You will enthusiastically support the Christian purposes of OCC and Samaritan’s Purse and be committed to the value of well-equipped volunteers and to developing them further. Candidates will have proven people and project management and administrative experience in the workplace and be educated to A levels or ideally Degree level.

This role is based in region, and so prospective candidates should currently live in the region and provide their own transport for which defined expenses will be paid.

In accordance with the Equality Act of 2010 and due to both the nature and context of the role there is an ‘occupational requirement’ for the post holder to be a committed Christian. The job holder should be committed to the purpose of Samaritan’s Purse and be able to demonstrate enthusiasm for the Christian purposes of the organisation and be able to live out, hold to, support and contribute to its Christian ethos.

YMCA St Paul's Group aims to support and empower young people and communities throughout London and beyond by providing life-changing youth work, essential community services, inclusive health and wellbeing centres, and supported accommodation for those who are at risk of homelessness. As one of the largest YMCAs in Europe, we’re proud of our dual identity as a Charity and Registered Provider of Social Housing.

As part of a bold phase of planned growth under our three year strategic plan, the role of Group Director of New Business & Partnerships has been created. This is an opportunity for a forward-thinking leader to help shape the future of YMCA St Paul’s Group by developing impactful partnerships and unlocking new business opportunities that align with our mission.

Working closely with the CEO and the Executive Team, you will lead our business development efforts, build strategic partnerships, and position YMCA St Paul’s Group to grow our reach and relevance. While the initial focus will likely be in Housing and Support, we also see huge potential in Health & Wellbeing services and beyond.

We are looking for an enterprising and inclusive leader with a strong track record of business development within commissioned or regulated services. You will bring commercial acumen, a collaborative spirit, and a natural ability to build relationships with a wide range of stakeholders. While housing experience is valuable, we also welcome candidates with transferable knowledge and experience from other regulated sectors. You do not need to be of Christian faith, but you must be able to respect our ethos and uphold the values we live by.

At YMCA St Paul’s Group, it’s our people who make the difference. We’re committed to creating an environment where colleagues feel a deep sense of belonging and are supported to grow and thrive. That’s why we were recently recognised as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces for Development by Great Places to Work – an achievement that reflects our culture of care, learning and continuous improvement.
