History jobs

One third of our world has not yet heard the Good News of Jesus.

Global Disciples International is a rapidly growing mission movement that equips clusters of local churches—primarily in Africa, Asia, and Latin America—to train local believers as disciple-makers, enabling them to share the Gospel, multiply disciples, and plant sustainable churches within their cultures among least-reached people groups.

Having experienced remarkable expansion—from just a handful of programmes in 1996 to over 4,000 active programmes today, training tens of thousands of disciple-makers annually—the ministry has seen explosive multiplication in its impact and reach.
 
With bold missional ambition to significantly increase in scale, Global Disciples is intentionally transitioning from a predominantly US-headquartered model to a more decentralised, globally dispersed structure that empowers regional and national leadership, fosters local ownership, and aligns with its commitment to indigenous, culturally relevant mission. We currently have hubs in Africa, Asia and Lancaster, Pennsylvania and are looking at expanding our presence in Europe and Asia.

In this dynamic season of accelerated growth and structural evolution, the organisation is seeking a strategic CFO to serve as a key financial architect—engineering optimal financial infrastructure, systems, and processes that provide robust support, ensure efficiency and compliance across borders, and enable sustainable scaling to fulfil the ministry's God-given vision for greater global impact.

You will be someone with a proven track record in a senior financial leadership role in an international organisation, preferably within a ministry or mission context, and with experience overseeing additional areas like IT in entities of comparable complexity and scale. You will be a mission-aligned finance leader with a deep understanding of financial management and financial engineering, enabling you to strategically shape how Global Disciples maximises its global impact. You will have an open and servant-hearted leadership style with a natural ability to build and maintain strong, cross-cultural relationships. You will be passionate about our vision to train up disciple-makers to take the Gospel to the least-reached around the world.

We envisage the Chief Financial Officer being based in either one of our hubs in Europe, Africa or Asia.

We are recruiting a part-time, multilingual counsellor to provide high-quality, trauma-informed therapeutic support to young people experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness, with a particular focus on refugees and people seeking asylum. This includes delivering one to one counselling, group therapy, and therapeutic workshops within a busy day centre setting.

You will be passionate about providing culturally competent therapy with a strong understanding of the mental health needs of marginalised communities, particularly refugees and people seeking asylum. You will have fluency in one or more languages commonly spoken by refugee communities, which is essential to this role.

You will be confident working with complex trauma, comfortable in a dynamic, community-based environment, and committed to creating accessible and affirming therapeutic spaces for young people who may have experienced significant barriers to support.

• Contract type and hours: The role is part-time. The post holder will be required to work 21 hours across three 3 days per week. The exact working pattern will be determined following interview. Some work over the Christmas period will be required.

Diversity is one of our core values as an organisation and we are committed to creating an inclusive working environment where diversity is valued and there is equality of opportunity. We also recognise that the climate and ecological crisis disproportionately impacts minority and/or marginalised communities – yet these voices are largely underrepresented in the sector. We strongly encourage people from demographics that are currently underrepresented in the environmental movement to apply, particularly those from ethnic minority backgrounds or living with a disability or long-term health conditions. We will offer an interview to any candidates from ethnic minority backgrounds or living with a disability who opt into our Guaranteed Interview Scheme when applying and who meet the essential criteria for this role.

Ein hymrwymiad i amrywiaeth

Mae amrywiaeth yn un o'n gwerthoedd craidd fel sefydliad ac rydyn ni wedi ymrwymo i greu amgylchedd gwaith cynhwysol lle mae amrywiaeth yn cael ei gwerthfawrogi a lle mae cyfle cyfartal. Rydyn ni hefyd yn cydnabod bod yr argyfwng hinsawdd ac ecolegol yn effeithio'n anghymesur ar gymunedau lleiafrifol a/neu sydd wedi’u hymyleiddio – ond mae'r lleisiau hyn wedi'u tangynrychioli'n sylweddol yn y sector.

Ar hyn o bryd, y sector amgylcheddol yw'r sector lleiaf amrywiol ond un yn y Deyrnas Unedig, gyda dim ond 4.8% o weithwyr o gefndiroedd ethnig leiafrifol. Os yw'r mudiad amgylcheddol am lwyddo i greu dyfodol mwy gwyrdd sy'n cefnogi’r gymdeithas gyfan, mae angen lleisiau amrywiol wrth wraidd ein rhaglenni. Rydyn ni felly’n annog pobl o ddemograffeg sydd heb gynrychiolaeth ddigonol ar hyn o bryd yn y mudiad amgylcheddol i ymgeisio.

Cynlluniau Cyfweliad Gwarantedig

Rydyn ni’n annog ceisiadau yn arbennig gan bobl o gefndiroedd ethnig leiafrifol neu sy'n byw ag anabledd neu gyflyrau iechyd hirdymor. Byddwn yn cynnig cyfweliad i unrhyw ymgeiswyr o gefndiroedd ethnig leiafrifol neu sy'n byw gydag anabledd sy'n dewis ymuno â'n Cynllun Cyfweliad Gwarantedig wrth wneud cais ac sy'n bodloni'r meini prawf hanfodol ar gyfer y swydd hon.

Y dyddiad cau ar gyfer gwneud cais yw nos Sul 22 Mawrth 2026 am hanner nos. 

Os hoffech ragor o wybodaeth, cymorth gyda gofynion hygyrchedd, fel addasiad i'r broses ymgeisio neu gyfweld, neu sgwrs anffurfiol, cysylltwch â ni drwy e-bost.

If you require the use of AI software to aid in completing your application, we ask you use the generative responses as a prompt for writing your answers and avoid copying and pasting.
