The idea behind the programme is that creative leadership is urgently needed in society today; and a matter for the soul too. The invitation is to be part of the change that such leadership can bring.

It is not growing church leaders but leaders in society, intentionally bringing together young leaders from its five programme strands: Social Justice, Arts and Heritage, Music, Environment, Business.
The Director role has responsibility for the promotion, implementation, sustainability of, and reporting for the Changemakers programme. The essential requirements are leadership of an organisation with an education, charitable or community setting; ideally to have extensive operational programme and line management experience within the education or charitable sector; evidence of strategic thinking and business planning; evidence of delivering and or managing the delivery of events.
St James’s is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. All post holders and volunteers are expected to share this commitment.
