Church Urban Fund has a proud history of being good news within our low-income communities across England. We partner with churches, social action charities and different faith communities to end poverty together.

For almost 40 years, Church Urban Fund has been enabling and supporting mission and ministry amongst the lowest income communities. Over the years we have developed several programmes which have made significant grassroots impact. Despite this work, and the work of many others, levels of poverty and engrained inequality remain desperately severe, despite living in one of the wealthiest countries.

This newly created role seeks to help us resource churches across England, so that we can achieve our vision of ending poverty and doing this together.  The successful postholder will be key in helping develop new resources that sit alongside our very successful Growing Good resource and form part of our expanding Knowledge Bank that enables churches to have the knowledge, confidence and connection to engage with social action as a core part of their mission and serve their local communities.  This role will also be influential in helping plan and deliver our increasingly popular and well attended webinars and in person events.

Our core mission is shaped by the drive to end poverty in all its forms, by developing partnerships and programmes to create a movement of love, justice and mercy. We are inspired by Jesus’ ministry to be with and alongside and serve the most marginalised and vulnerable in society, and follow his teaching to love our neighbours as ourselves.

We are seeking someone who is passionate about resourcing local churches to have knowledge, confidence and connection in serving their local areas, is skilled in developing and refreshing resources, can be persuasive in encouraging churches to engage with CUF’s range of resources, and is experienced in managing events (online and in person).

If you feel that this role could be for you, we would love to hear from you.
