Scripture Union is a national mission-movement, helping churches reveal Jesus to the next generation. We equip churches to reach children and young people – especially those outside the church – wherever they are, and in ways that truly connect. Because every young person should have the opportunity to discover Jesus, and too many never will. Through Bible-based resources, practical training and our Revealing Jesus mission framework, we help churches build relationships that lead to faith. Our team of Mission Enablers supports a growing network of Faith Guides – local people, rooted in their communities, revealing Jesus in everyday life.
We are looking for a Mission Enabler to offer direction and energy to the ministry of Scripture Union with a focus on initiating and maintaining missional opportunities in South Wales. You will be an enthusiastic candidate who will be able to recruit, train, coach and support many Volunteers and Faith Guides working together with them. You will also lead by example, through the modelling of excellent mission delivery to children and young people consistent with Scripture Union’s mission in supporting the pioneering of new mission.
The successful candidate will:
· Be a strategic thinker and will have solid judgment of ministry impact.
· Have considerable insight into ministry with children and young people, be a passionate advocate, an excellent practitioner, and a capable communicator.
· Influence networks, shape opinion, challenge inertia and inspire creativity.
· Be self-disciplined, able to organise and prioritise their own workload, and manage multiple projects.
· Be able to visualise and work towards long-term goals.
· Be open to and comfortable with different traditions, styles and expression of spirituality, prayer, and worship, and has a growing familiarity with and understanding of the Bible.
· Have a total commitment to God and is a Christian disciple.
· Be able to communicate effectively and speak the Welsh language (would be desirable).
If this describes you, and you agree with Scripture Union’s aims and beliefs, we would love to hear from you.
Why join us? Beyond the profound impact of your work, we offer excellent benefits:
· A flexible, role supporting work-life balance
· Competitive salary and generous pension scheme (up to 12% employer contribution) and option to opt in to Salary Sacrifice
· 23 days annual leave + bank holidays + 5 additional days to volunteer at Scripture Union events
· Enhanced Maternity & Paternity Leave
· Life insurance, Permanent Health Insurance (PHI), option to join BUPA Healthcare and access to an excellent Employee Assistance Programme
· Free Bible Reading notes and staff discount on our other material

If you're ready to make a lasting difference and join a community united by faith, we want to hear from you!
The Movement takes Safeguarding seriously. This role will require an Enhanced Disclosure from the Disclosure & Barring Service and have an occupational requirement to be filled by a committed Christian, active in church life. Equality Act 2010, Part 1, Schedule 9 applies.
We are committed to building a culturally diverse workforce. As part of this commitment, we welcome applications from people, regardless of their background.

The National Lottery Community Fund – Climate Action Fund Decision Panel Appointments
Climate Action Fund- Food Systems - Expert Panel Member Role Specification
Term of Appointment: Three Years
Time Commitment - 9 Days per year
The National Lottery Community Fund (The Fund) wishes to recruit an external member for the Climate Action Fund Decision Panel. The Chair of the UK Funding Committee (UKFC) accordingly invites applications for the position of external member of The National Lottery Community Fund’s Climate Action Fund Decision Panel.
Background
The Fund is the largest funder of community activity in the UK. It launched the Climate Action Fund in 2019 as a long-term commitment to support communities across the UK to act on climate change and involve more people in positive environmental action. Since its launch the Climate Action Fund has awarded over £182m to communities across the UK. This includes over 175 larger projects, predominantly delivered through partnership approaches and over 440 small grants that were delivered through Together for Our Planet, a funding programme in support of COP26. The programme has always had a test and learn ethos and each strand of funding has built on learning to date.
In January 2026 the Climate Action Fund launched a new strand of funding - Food Systems, focusing on strengthening food systems across the UK, while reducing food insecurity for people and communities, without harming the planet. It will achieve this through supporting partnerships that can deliver long term solutions and transformational systems change. Funding will enable large and long term interventions with the capacity and time to deliver progress against their intended aims and ambitions. We will support agroecological approaches which work with nature to create resilient, sustainable and equitable food systems. Projects can apply for a minimum of £2.5 million over three years, and we expect to fund up to ten projects in the first year. More information about funding aims and criteria can be found in Annex A (attached).
Through the Climate Action Fund we support projects based in all four countries of the UK and a combination of place based, cross country, regional, national and UK wide.

The Climate Action Fund Decision Panel has delegated authority from the UK Funding Committee (UKFC) to make funding decisions on Climate Action Fund Programmes.
The purpose of the Climate Action Fund Decision Panel is to make funding decisions, review the performance of the Climate Action Fund portfolio, and make recommendations where appropriate to UKFC. Funding decisions shall be taken in the context of the UKFC Delegation and shall undertake its duties within the framework of overall National Lottery Community Fund policy and procedures.
