Philanthropy Lead

CAP celebrates the value of diversity and our aim is for our workforce to be as inclusive as possible as well as representing the communities we serve. With this in mind, we welcome and encourage job applications from people of all backgrounds. We particularly welcome applications from candidates from black and ethnic minority backgrounds. We are committed to continue building an environment that embraces diversity and includes all.

Context

We are building a church-based movement against poverty, delivering the right messages at the right times to inspire action and support. Our goal is to strengthen the CAP supporter and church movement as we roll out our 2026 messaging: Poverty stops with us.

As a directorate, we call people to action. We invite members of the movement to:

• Get help

  • Access the help they need when they are facing or vulnerable to financial crisis.

• Give financially

  • Have abundant lives which generously share with others.

• Partner with us

  • Be actively involved in the end to UK poverty as a partner, coach, volunteer or client.

• Advocate for those in poverty

  • Belong to a shared vision that advocates for those most in need: a local and national movement.
