For over 100 years, CPAS holidays have been introducing children and young people to Jesus through life-changing residential experiences. Building on foundations first laid in 1924, our Holidays Team now supports volunteer Overall Leaders and core teams to run approximately 60 Ventures and Falcon holidays each year, reaching around 2,500 children and young people.
As we see encouraging signs of renewed spiritual openness among young people, we are strengthening the ministry for this next season by investing in healthy leadership, healthy operations and healthy finances. Our c.2,000 volunteer leaders are at the heart of this work, and we recognise both their immense value and the growing challenges surrounding volunteer recruitment, retention and succession. Overall Leaders consistently identify burnout and the difficulty of passing on the baton as key threats to the future sustainability of the ministry.
To help address this, we are seeking a relational, proactive and strategically minded Leadership Training Officer to design, deliver and evaluate a national leadership training programme that strengthens the pipeline across Ventures and Falcons in a way that is Christ-centred, Bible-based and evangelistically focused.
This new role is an exciting opportunity to help shape the next generation of Christian leaders. We are looking for someone with a passion to see younger evangelical leaders thrive in their calling and be equipped to lead with faith, resilience and impact in a rapidly changing context. Alongside strong organisational and administrative skills, you will bring experience of designing and delivering effective training or development programmes, a strong understanding of biblical leadership, and the ability to build healthy relationships, particularly within volunteer-led contexts.
If that sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.
