Are you ready to make a difference where it matters?

The Diocese of Gloucester is launching a bold and visionary initiative to strengthen the life and mission of our local churches.

This is not just a job. It’s a calling to serve, to lead, and to build something new. If you are a highly skilled professional seeking purposeful work, or an emerging leader looking to grow your capabilities in a dynamic, multi-disciplinary environment, this is your opportunity to shape the future of the Church of England at the local level.

Why this role matters

Our deaneries are a crucial part of our diocesan life. Our deanery leadership teams have voiced

a shared concern: the lack of operational and administrative capacity to support clergy, PCCs, and local mission. The Deanery Operations Lead role is our response—a strategic investment in local leadership, designed to enable flourishing ministry and vibrant community engagement.

This is about embedding practical, responsive, and missionally aligned support where it’s needed most. You will be part of the bridge between vision and delivery, between parish life and Church House, between aspiration and action.

The role does not require you to be a practising Christian - as long as you are supportive to Christian values and ethos that underpins the role we would love to hear from you.

Health & Wellbeing Lead - Love Barton

Are you a Christian leader passionate about supporting adults to thrive in the face of challenging circumstances?

At Love Barton, our mission is simple: to see people and families in Barton flourish, whatever their circumstances. Together, we're working towards fewer people facing food insecurity and poor mental health, young people with the self-esteem to make good decisions, and parents and carers with the confidence to see their children thrive.

What we do - and why it's great to work here

Barton is a council estate on the outskirts of Oxford with a tough reputation, but we see something different: a community brimming with talent, kindness and resilience. As a Christian charity established in 2022, we work in close partnership with Barton Community Church to tackle the deep-rooted obstacles - poverty, family breakdown, poor mental health, low self-esteem - that stop people here reaching their potential.

We already run a listening service, a twice-weekly emergency foodbank, and a family food pantry, supporting hundreds of adults and children each year. We're a small, close-knit team, and every person who joins us gets to see the direct impact of their work on real lives in the community.

The role and its impact

As Health & Wellbeing Lead, you'll head up an exciting set of projects on the Barton estate - leading volunteers and managing programmes that meet the health and wellbeing needs of the local community.

• Emergency Foodbank — recruit, train and support the volunteer team running our twice-weekly sessions with Community Emergency Foodbank, ensuring everything runs safely and to Food Hygiene Standards.
• Family Food Pantry — in partnership with Mercy In Action, recruit, train and support volunteers to keep our weekly food pantry running smoothly for local families on low incomes.
• You'll also network with other providers and stakeholders, represent Love Barton at Health & Wellbeing partnership meetings, offer pastoral care and support to those experiencing hardship, help deliver seasonal projects like Christmas hampers and school holiday activities, manage project budgets and reporting, and work with the Charity Director and trustees on funding.

This job is for you if...
