Inspired by the life of Jesus, we seek to practice collaborative and practical peacemaking.  Our work is rooted in Christian teaching and guided by four core principles; we go where we are invited, we live at the heart of conflict, we stay for the long term and, as our strap-line says, we take sides. Both sides.

In a world of conflict and division, we have an ambitious vision to expand our peacemaking work and increase our influence both in the UK and internationally. We are planning further peacemaking projects and to share with others the skills and experience we have gained over the last 50 years. 

We are a small, friendly team, deeply committed to our work and the cause of peace and are recruiting a Marketing and Communications Manager to help develop and implement the communications and marketing plans that will drive and support our expansion.

• We are seeking a creative, highly-motivated and flexible communicator who also has the technical skills (or motivation to learn them) to produce engaging and compelling content across a wide range of channels.

• You will be a strong writer, able to capture themes and stories and make them appeal to the widest possible range of supporters through the use of a broad range of formats. You will also have a good working knowledge of digital marketing, understanding how to use social media and other digital channels to reach a wide audience and build engagement and support.

• You will have the credibility that allows you to collaborate well with a wide variety of stakeholders, which in our case includes everyone from busy youth workers on the ground to senior-level trustees and representatives from local churches. This is an ideal opportunity for someone seeking a role where they can use their skills and experience in a setting where they can influence an organisation’s broader development.

• You will thrive working in a Christian environment where we pray regularly and study and reflect on the theological foundations to our peacemaking.  You will have respect for our Christian values and ethos and be in sympathy with our organisational aims, with an  understanding of the UK church and charity landscape.
