Title: Faith & Church Engagement Manager

Hours: 35 hours per week

Reporting to: Director of Membership

Period:Permanent

Salary:£37- £42k (depending on experience)

Location:  SW1P 3RB United Kingdom

Work Type: Hybrid (2 office days)

Overview

Established in 1876. Mothers’ Union has 4 million members in 83 countries, and our members have been empowering communities to combat poverty, speak up for social justice, and improve wellbeing of those around them for more than 145 years. Family and community are at the heart of all we do, ensuring any change is relevant and lasting.

The ways in which we operate to fulfil that need today are quite different to that of the world of the 19th century, but our vision is still of a world where God’s love is shown through loving, respectful and flourishing relationships.

Mothers’ Union is unique. We do not work alongside communities; our volunteers and members work inside and with communities. Based in countless Anglican parishes, our work is run by local people for local people. Breaking the cycle of dependency, we give people the courage to transform their own lives and communities by facilitating change. Our members show their faith through action, and together aim to stop violence, poverty, and injustice.

From small community initiatives to national programmes our aim is to strengthen family life by nurturing relationships that are loving, faithful and respectful. Each member subscribes to the same values; the moral and ethical codes that are central to the ways in which we operate:

• We are firmly rooted in a voluntary ethos centred on mutual respect and collaboration.
• Our governance, leadership, and programmes are driven by and undertaken by members within their own communities worldwide; and
• We work with and welcome to the movement, people of all faiths and none.

Our members may be part of a branch or a wider parish, which sit within a Diocese, which reports to a Province. These Provinces and Dioceses follow the Anglican Church structure. Or they may be groups that sit outside. We also welcome friends and supporters and a host of active volunteers who support the work we do.

Purpose of the Role

Faith underpins all our work and, in this key role the post holder will support the Christian journey by providing resources for personal prayer, spiritual guidance, corporate worship, religious education, and contribute to and participate in member and central charity led events and worship.

This role will explore and research issues about the Christian faith that are relevant to Mothers’ Union, keep the rest of the Charity up to date on issues in the Anglican communion and wider church – and input into the design of MU strategic aims, and work collaboratively with organisations externally on developing resources and implementing faith-based initiatives.

This role will also be responsible for managing Mothers’ Union’s Church-based membership and our Faith and Diocesan Chaplains member-based forums.

However, the focus for this role will be the proactive outreach, development, and maintenance of faith related relationships primarily in Britain and Ireland. This includes creating and managing high-level networks of Christian influencers, Bishops and the wider clergy, and key faith-based organisations to improve the profile, understanding and integration of Mothers' Union within the Anglican communion and ecumenically and to grow our reach, membership numbers, and influence.

A key remit of the Faith & Church Engagement Manager post will be to participate and contribute to our faith-based discussions and resources within Mothers’ Union. For this reason, the post holder must be a practicing Christian. (Occupational requirement Equality Act 2010).
