Christian jobs
The Christian Young Leaders Programme is a new workstream focused on equipping, resourcing, and commissioning 4,500 young leaders (school years 9-13) for mission and ministry with children and young people by 2030. These young leaders will join the programme through churches, youth work, and educational settings, contributing to 15% of the overall 30k target by 2030.
At its heart, this programme expresses the conviction that young people are a full part of the Body of Christ, not future members of the Church but active disciples and leaders within the church. Initial design work for the programme has been developed in partnership with colleagues from Vision & Strategy, Education (the National Society), the Ministry Development Team, and a range of parachurch organisations. The programme will build on best practice from dioceses, schools, and local church contexts, ensuring safeguarding and inclusion remain central to every aspect.
The Young Leader Programme Lead will lead this new Christian Young Leaders programme from pioneering pilots through to full scale delivery across the Church of England to enable 4500 young people to grow in their faith and engage in mission and ministry with children and young people by 2030.
The post-holder will lead a national Christian formation programme for young leaders that becomes locally owned which helps young people grow in confident faith and discover their gifts as they contribute to being change-makers in the life of the Church and the wider community.
Key to our approach is a commitment to build upon existing good practice in dioceses, schools, and local church contexts and to ensure that young people's voices are heard throughout the process. Alongside this, we are committed to ensuring that safeguarding and inclusion are central to every aspect of the programme.
This is a fixed-term position until 31 Dec 2028

This role will lead and deliver two projects, the Net Zero Carbon (NZC) Young Adult Voices Project, and the General Synod Young Voices project, across which it will engage with a wide variety of young people.
The Net Zero Carbon Young Adult Voices project recognises that action to tackle climate change, as part of the wider environmental crisis, is important for young people, and responds to the fact that the NZC programme is not currently strategically engaging with these groups.
This project will involve:
- gathering the voices of young adults (18-30) to enable them to influence the direction of the programme and the Church's wider Environment Programme, ensuring their voice is heard at all levels of the Programme, and informs decision-making.
- communicating what the NZC programme is doing, to raise awareness amongst young people of the CofE's commitment to being a NZC church with these audiences, and to enable pathways for them to become involved in decarbonisation and other environmental projects at the local level.
- work with diocesan colleagues to enable the voices of young people to exercise leadership influence on NZC at a Diocesan level, as appropriate.
Important to the success of this role will be engaging with departments and stakeholders across the Church of England, to ensure this work sits within the broader context of the priority to be a church which is younger and more diverse.
As this is a new project and a new role, the postholder will help to shape the role. The initial focus will be to develop a NZC Young Adult Voices Strategy and Plan for sign-off by the NZC Programme Board, and then to work through delivery of this. This will need to consider the theology, mission and action that will engage and connect with young people - particularly exploring how we root this work in the spirituality and theology that is relevant for a younger audience.
The General Synod Young Voices project follows two motions passed at General Synod (in July 2024 and February 2025) committing General Synod to listening and responding to the voices of children, young people and young adults in every subsequent session. This project involves gathering the voices through schools, churches and Dioceses and enabling children and young people to speak and present each session at General Synod. In addition, it involves working with a group of young adults drawn from every diocese to run a programme of faith and leadership development that enables them to speak into General Synod at a national level, and exercise leadership influence at a Diocesan level as appropriate.
This is a fixed-term role until December 2028, with potential to extend, dependent on 29-31 Triennium Funding.
