We’re looking for three Parent Programme Officers to help deliver the Stregthening Families, Stregthening Communities parenting programme with integrity and care as part of a new project funded by the Youth Endowment Fund.

You’ll build trusted relationships with families, co-facilitators, peer researchers, colleagues and referral partners, ensuring the programme is safe, effective and engaging. You’ll support research and evaluation, maintain robust systems and make sure our work is informed by evidence and grounded in lived experience. 

We’re keen to work with experienced practitioners in the Strengthening Families, Strengthening Communities (SFSC)  model, or people that are familiar with it and have extensive expertise with other group parenting programmes. 

You will be an organised and confident communicator who values openness and collaboration. You’ll bring experience in partnership working, programme delivery and safeguarding, with the ability to build rapport and manage sensitive situations with professionalism. 

If you share our belief that building trusted relationships and honest partnerships can transform outcomes for young people and families, we’d love to hear from you.

This is a fantastic opportunity to develop your skills and be part of a collaborative, supportive team committed to tackling racial inequality. 

Funded by the Youth Endowment Fund, our intervention and research project, SFSC: Safer Lives, works to prevent offending and reduce youth violence by strengthening family relationships, increasing parental confidence, and promoting young people’s self-discipline, social skills and self-esteem.

Our work is needed now more than ever before. This is why we have embarked on an exciting new strategy to make tackling low numeracy an urgent, national issue. However, we will only achieve significant and lasting change by engaging other organisations to support and fund our work.

Each year through this programme, we train hundreds of volunteers from our corporate partners to visit primary schools and share examples of how maths has helped them as adults, both in their careers and personal lives.

This crucial work helps change us to the inter-generational narrative about numeracy in the UK. Maths is not just something you ‘have to do at school’, but is a valuable skill that helps us get on at work, and manage our time and our money. The programme has been running for three years now, and this year’s activity looks set to have meaningful impact on at least 17,000 children across the UK.

You will be responsible for ensuring that volunteers are adequately trained, for recruiting appropriate schools for them to visit, and all the admin and reporting that supports the programme.

We are looking for someone who can ‘own the programme’, is committed to improving our processes and the efficiency of delivery, with strong line management skills, and a commitment to the professional development for the Corporate Volunteering Programmes Assistant.

The Diocese of Peterborough is entering an important new phase as we continue to seek God’s vision for our future. Like many dioceses, we have faced challenges in recent years, particularly following the pandemic. Yet we see this as a time of opportunity to renew our mission, strengthen our churches, and grow in faith and hope for the future.

Our focus is to resource, encourage, and equip local churches and their leaders to grow and flourish, bringing the hope of Jesus to their communities. Building on the good work already happening in our churches and schools, and under the leadership of the Bishop and her leadership team, we are committed to using our resources boldly and intentionally across the Diocese.

To help us do this, we are appointing a Programme Manager to support our emerging change programme. Reporting to the Diocesan Secretary / CEO and working closely with the Senior Leadership Team, Diocesan staff, Deaneries and Parishes, this role will apply programme management skills to deliver change effectively across the Diocese.

There is potential for the post to develop into a more senior role.  The post is funded by the national church for 3 years, but the expectation is that it will become a permanent role in the Diocesan structure.
