About us

Kids Matter is one of the UK’s fastest growing children’s charities.

Our vision is to see every child in need raised in a strong family. Our mission is to reduce the impact of poverty on children through community-based parenting programmes.

Research shows that group-based early intervention parenting groups are the most effective way to support children in need. We train peer facilitators in local churches - the largest voluntary body in the country - to run our affordable, accessible and highly effective parenting programmes, written by Clinical Psychologists. They come alongside parents and carers, building long-lasting community in addition to encouraging confidence and learning positive parenting skills.

We value difference and diversity, and we want our workplace to be built on shared values of equality and mutual trust, with team members representing the wide range of backgrounds and experiences that exist within the UK. We therefore actively encourage applications from people of diverse backgrounds and varied experiences, particularly those who are African, Afro-Caribbean, Asian or part of other minority ethnic communities, who have lived experience of the impact of low-income/low-support circumstances, and who are living with a disability or identify as being neurodivergent.

Our Interim Executive Director will lead JustMoney Movement into the next chapter of our exciting story. The primary focus for the role will be to develop and implement a sustainable future strategy, while providing transitional leadership. 

The JustMoney Movement is a small organisation with a big vision. We are passionate about the role Christians and churches can play in bringing about an economy that works for people and planet.We have a vision of a fairer, greener future, and we believe money is integral to shaping that future. As Christians we believe our use of money should flow from our faith and values such as justice, compassion, the dignity of all, and the importance of caring for creation.  Our current strategic priority is to increase the reach, depth and diversity of engagement of Christian individuals, congregations and networks in the UK with the JustMoney Movement, in order to have a meaningful impact on policy and practice for a fairer, greener future.

We are living in turbulent times where we face interconnected, systemic crises in inequality, nature and the climate, driven by our financial and economic system. We believe our movement building approach, technical expertise, and wide range of collaborations across church, other faith and secular groups, enable us to play a vital role in confronting these crises.

At the same time, small charities face unprecedented challenges at this current moment, and require bold and innovative approaches in order to navigate this context. We are looking for an Interim Executive Director to help us build on this legacy, to secure a sustainable long-term future, while remaining agile and able to seize opportunities as they arise.The role will need to establish a sustainable future strategy and develop our funding strategy, while overseeing the delivery of our current workplan and ensuring sound governance of the charity.

Contract: 6 to12 months

There is the possibility of a permanent role becoming available at the end of the Interim Executive Director role appointment, subject to funding.

An early, flexible start would be desirable from September/ October 2026.

Given the nature of the role, we are very open to discussions with the right candidate to identify mutually acceptable arrangements for the appointment.

Role description

· Partner with the Board, to develop and deliver JustMoney Movement’s strategy and objectives, rooted in our movement-building theory of change, and our Christian identity, culture and values.  This may include identifying and implementing change, as needed.

· Lead on the creation and delivery of our fundraising strategy to ensure JustMoney Movement’s financial viability for the long-term.  This will build on our current mix of grant funding, alongside our small but long-standing and loyal donor base of individuals and organisational supporters.

Full-time, fixed-term contract for three years

Are you passionate about helping the Church reach new people? Are you energised by building relationships, supporting others to lead and turning vision into reality?

We are looking for a New Christian Communities Development Officer to help grow new Christian communities across the Diocese. This is an exciting opportunity with an enormous amount of variety and autonomy as you will work alongside parishes, clergy, lay leaders and diocesan colleagues to encourage fresh approaches to mission, connecting with new worshipping communities, church planting, revitalisation and leading or supporting project boards to help shape the future of mission across the Diocese.

You’ll spend time listening to local communities, building trusted relationships and connecting people, ideas and resources to help new initiatives flourish. You’ll also play a key role in coordinating strategic projects, sharing learning and ensuring new communities are supported in ways that strengthen parish life and contribute to our diocesan vision.

You’ll be comfortable working with people from a wide range of church traditions, managing multiple priorities and bringing together partners around a shared purpose. It is essential that you bring a working knowledge of the structure of the Church of England, including how dioceses, parishes, clergy, lay leaders and wider church structures work together in mission and ministry. With an understanding of the importance of safeguarding within church and community settings, you will be able to ensure safeguarding considerations are embedded into planning, development and governance arrangements for new Christian communities and strategic projects.

As this role represents and supports the mission of the Church, it is also essential for you to be a practising Christian. (GoR applies under section 9 of the Equality Act 2010.)

Canterbury Diocese is the oldest in England and spans a diverse region from Maidstone to Thanet and the Isle of Sheppey to Romney Marsh. With coastal towns, rural communities and urban areas side by side, it offers a rich and challenging mission context.

Our vision is Changed Lives, Changing Lives: a community transformed by encountering Christ and committed to transforming and blessing the families and communities we serve.
