The Northern Mission Enabling Team is seeking a Programme & Team Administrator to support dioceses, churches and leaders in church planting, parish revitalisation and mission development across the North of England. Working with the Archbishop's Mission Enabler for the North, the team delivers the Northern Enabling Strategy as part of the Faith in the North initiative. This strategy has received £3.4 million of funding to deliver its main objectives by 2029:

- Create the conditions for new worshipping communities across the province

- Work with leaders across the region to offer focused consultancy, provide access to expertise and support peer learning in church planting

- Train leaders through Camino, a new resource church leader training programme run in partnership with St Hild College

- Support leaders of local new worshipping communities through 'activation grants'

- Help northern resource churches to accelerate their planting plans through additional funding

The successful candidate will join the Northern Mission Enabling Team, a small project team that values being positive, innovative and collaborative. The postholder will support the programme as a whole and facilitate the work of our team of mission enablers, especially those engaged in developing intercultural mission. The postholder will report to the Programme Manager, who will oversee and prioritise their work across the team.

This role is being advertised as 0.6 FTE, but we would be willing to look at flexible options between 0.4 and 0.6 with the successful candidate. This post is offered on a fixed-term basis for 12 months initially; we hope to continue the role for a further two years subject to funding being confirmed later this year.

This role requires a flexible and adaptable approach, with occasional travel to offsite meetings and events. Our team work on a hybrid basis, normally working from Bishopthorpe 1-2 days per week with Tuesday as a regular team day. Working hours and any flexible or hybrid working arrangements can be discussed and agreed with the successful candidate.

Vacancy closes on Sunday 25 October at 11:55 pm.
