CHIPS (Christian International Peace Service)

Who we are

We’re CHIPS (Christian International Peace Service). 

CHIPS (Christian International Peace Service) aims to bring about peace and reconciliation in areas of conflict or tension. We have over 59 years’ experience helping communities in the UK, Cyprus, India, the Philippines, Northern Ireland and Uganda; with our current projects being in Northern Ghana and Brixton, UK. We help communities build futures free from violent conflict through practical projects that both tackle the root causes of the division and bring the sides together to build trust and healthy relationships.

Our culture and values

Our Vision:

Our vision is for a world where conflict is met with peacemaking, division gives way to reconciliation, and communities work together to build sustainable peace.

Our Mission:

Rooted in Jesus' example of peace and reconciliation, we accompany communities affected by violent conflict, fostering relationships, taking practical action, and building a foundation for lasting peace.

Our Philosophy:

1. We go where we are invited

2. We live in the heart of the conflict

3. We take sides. Both sides.

4. We are committed for the long term

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

At CHIPS, we are committed to building a team that reflects the diversity of the communities we serve. We are an equal opportunities employer and warmly welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, experiences, and identities.

We particularly encourage applications from those with caring responsibilities and are happy to explore flexible working arrangements to support your needs. If you meet the essential criteria but not all the desirable ones, we would still love to hear from you — your skills, lived experience, or perspective may be exactly what we need.

Most roles at CHIPS require an enhanced DBS check. However, we view this as the start of a conversation, not the end of it, and we are committed to fair and inclusive recruitment practices.

Applicants must have the right to work in the UK, as CHIPS is unfortunately unable to sponsor work visas.
