We help people held back by poverty, unemployment, the criminal justice system, homelessness, exploitation and abuse to build a positive future.
At TLG, we’re on a bold, pioneering journey towards 2030 - reshaping how we think, plan and operate so we can deliver our ten-year vision with agility and impact. Rooted in our conviction to see “Fulness of life for every child, no matter what struggles they face,” and mission to pioneer unique and relevant approaches for churches everywhere, we see technology as the accelerator that will turn vision into reality.
This is an exciting time to join the team. In response to the growing mental and emotional health needs of children and young people, TLG is exploring two major initiatives: Therapeutic Hubs in churches and schools, and a UK-wide Coaching Network that equips ministry leaders to work therapeutically with children and young people. Together, these initiatives strengthen the local church’s ability to connect with children and families and extend the reach of compassionate, evidence-informed support.
To make this possible, efficiencies and innovation must be at the forefront of how we work - streamlining processes, embedding digital solutions, and leveraging technology to unlock capacity and accelerate change. From utilising AI to build cross-team efficiencies, to rethinking operational models and championing a culture of continuous improvement, we’re committed to working smarter and more creatively to maximise our impact.
As Digital Solutions Manager you’ll shape the digital backbone that powers this mission - designing and delivering user-centred solutions across Dynamics 365, Power BI, and Power Automate, while overseeing data architecture and IT infrastructure. Anchoring a cloud-first, secure, privacy-conscious and data-informed approach, you’ll enable TLG to scale innovation across programmes and give our teams the tools to move fast with confidence.
If you’re a pioneer who loves collaborating across functions and turning complex needs into elegant, scalable tools that help churches connect with children and families, this is your invitation to accelerate TLG’s next chapter!
TLG is a Christian charity and, as a team, we want to bring our faith to the work we do; as such, we are recruiting an individual with a strong and vibrant Christian faith. We would welcome applications from candidates from diverse backgrounds to enable us to better reflect the needs of the communities we serve.

We are looking for a creative communications professional with an interest in monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL), or vice versa. You will help embed more consistent, robust
