Since CMS believes that all of God’s people are called to mission, it is specifically the task and responsibility of the Church Relations team to engage the UK church in the cause of mission and foster relationships that inspire and challenge: to increase awareness and understanding of mission and foster fruitful partnership. CMS offers a range of ways for churches to engage with global mission, including opportunities to establish formal links with individual people in mission, to receive a CMS speaker, and through prayer and fundraising resources.
The role is responsible to the Church Relations Team Manager, and the CRO will work closely with and support the Church Relations Advisers (CRAs).

The role will be based at home due to the current pandemic but the post holder will be expected to work from the CMS House, Oxford from time to time (occasionally) when the government’s regulation allows it as well as for key team meetings.
Currently CMS employees are working from home following government advice, and will continue to do so until the government allows office working. As this role is fixed-term, it is envisioned that the appointed person would be able to support the team working from home and equipment/ working tools will be provided.
The ideal candidate will be educated to A level, ideally degree level, and have experience of fundraising and/or marketing experience, awareness of broad differences in church styles, traditions and etiquettes and experience of building and maintaining excellent ‘customer’ relationships, as well as proven administrative and database skills. The post holder should also be a committed Christian, in agreement with the aims and values of CMS, which can be found on our website, and willing to attend evening or weekend meetings occasionally if required.
This post is fixed term because the Church Mission Society is currently undergoing a strategic review to ensure that our approach to mission is fit for the next generation. The outcome of this work will be clearer organisational alignment around an agreed strategic focus, and organisational clarity that will improve the sustainability of our work, financially and otherwise.

The team delivers high quality technical assistance to CARE offices around the world in the areas of Women’s Economic Justice, Inclusive Governance, Emergency Shelter and Gender and Resilience. The team also provides thought leadership, learning as well as a global perspective to CARE programmes.
As a multi-sector, dual-mandate organization, CARE works in most of the world’s fragile and conflict-affected settings, where the majority of crisis-affected, poor and marginalized people live. A renewed focus of CARE’s new 2030 vision is to emphasize CARE’s capacity to support integrated pathways from crisis to stabilisation, recovery and sustainable peace and development.
Here we embrace the humanitarian-development-peace nexus – focused on reducing demand for humanitarian assistance by addressing its root causes which lie in poverty, inequality, poor governance and denial of human rights.
To do this we adapt our programmes and partnerships to support humanitarian and development outcomes that contribute sustainable governance and peace, ensuring CARE has the right programming and capacity in the right context and can quickly and effectively shift between interventions as appropriate.
