Prison Fellowship exists to show Christ’s love to people in prison. This extraordinary ministry is made possible by the 2,500+ volunteers who run groups and programmes in almost all of England and Wales’s prisons.
This deeply moving work has been used powerfully by God over many years and echoes His heart for those cast off by the rest of society.
The Board are seeking the appointment of a new CEO to lead Prison Fellowship through its next season. The new CEO will lead a strong team of staff and volunteers and take the charity’s work to the next level, starting with the development of a new five-years strategy.
There is an Occupational Requirement under the Equality Act of 2010 for the post-holder to be a Christian.
Carnelian Search have been appointed to partner with Prison Fellowship on this appointment. Please contact us via the apply function for an initial discussion about this role.
