Single Friendly Church Network is a young charity which encourages churches to welcome and value single people at every stage of life and of all types of singleness. Our work and influence are growing across a wide range of denominations. We want to reach more churches across the UK who could benefit from our resources and training, with the vision that all single Christians will be able to find a welcoming Single Friendly Church in their local area where they can flourish.
We achieved charitable status in 2023 (before that we were a Community Interest Company) and have a newly refined purpose and identity set out in a new website and other digital media (including in our promotional film ‘Inspiring Change’ available on YouTube). We have developed ‘5 Steps‘ towards becoming a Single Friendly Church.
We now aim to expand our impact across the UK and deepen our engagement with churches from a wide range of Christian denominations, in accordance with our strategy.
After 3 years our existing Executive Director is stepping down from the role and we are seeking a new person to take the next steps forward.

- Managing the team (including one-to-one meetings, setting targets and annual reviews)
- Working with the Board of Trustees and managing Board meetings, producing necessary documentation
- Building networks with churches, Christian groups, key influencers and a visible presence
- Delivering webinars and presenting at speaking engagements
- Keeping aware of issues around singleness and other relevant Christian topics
- Managing governance for the CIO

Skills
- Experience of leading an organisation or campaign
- An understanding of Christian culture and the different Christian traditions
- Able to provide evidence of positive interaction with Christians from different traditions
