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.

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

About Us
Established in 2002, Greenhouse Sports is a youth charity specifically using sport to support social change. Sport is our hook to engage young people and one of the vehicles through which we support youth development. But our purpose is not to create elite athletes or address physical inactivity. Rather, we create opportunities for young people to recognise their strengths and develop the skills they need to thrive both now and in the future.
We work across London, Portsmouth, and Leicester, specifically in areas of high deprivation. We embed evidence-based positive youth development programmes into primary and secondary schools. These programmes are delivered by our trusted, high-quality coach-mentors who deliver year-round to ensure that young people have ongoing access to sport, mentoring, enrichment, and employability activities. The result of this work is that every year, Greenhouse Sports support over 9,000 young people to attend school more often, improve their wellbeing, and raise their aspirations, transforming life chances in the communities that need us the most.
The Opportunity
This opportunity is like finding a needle in haystack. Seriously.
Our team is compact. There’s one spot opening for someone who can help take us to the next level. Someone who won’t tire of seeing and feeling the impact we have on children’s lives every day. Someone who is bubbling with ideas and wants the freedom (and plenty of support and connections) to make them a reality. Someone who’ll be energised by the variety of the role week in, week out. One minute you’ll find yourself sharpening the storytelling around our latest research, the next you’ll be on the sports court with young people and a national broadcaster.
The Role
The Marketing & Communications Manager at Greenhouse Sports is a senior role – we need to amplify our voice, reach new audiences and generate new channels of support. You’ll bring a critical approach to our every move, whilst getting on and making things happen to take Greenhouse forward.
It’s ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of strategic communications, brand stewardship, storytelling, influence-building and campaign leadership.
All Greenhouse Sports employees are provided with comprehensive Continuous Professional Development support and are expected to commit fully to Greenhouse's Safeguarding & Child Protection policy.
Application Deadline: Friday 13 March at 23:59hrs
Please ensure you have provided both your CV and Cover Letter to support your application.
