We are excited to partner with Latimer Congregational Church, an inspiring and historic church set in the heart of East London. This is a church with a rich past and a bold vision for the future. Their hope is to revitalise their presence in the local community by creating a welcoming Christian retreat and building a thriving, active church family.
The church is already well-positioned for this next chapter, with a building that includes accommodation facilities, a dedicated training area, a basketball court, and plenty of space and resources to grow. As part of the Congregational Federation, Latimer benefits from a bottom-up leadership structure, which means the direction of the church is shaped by its people, empowering the congregation to take ownership and lead with vision and heart.
We are seeking a pioneering and visionary Pioneer Minister to lead this exciting new chapter. This is a unique opportunity to build something from the ground up, to innovate, and to make a real difference in a diverse and dynamic community. We are looking for someone to bring vision, energy, and creativity to a church at the heart of its community. With excellent facilities at your disposal, you’ll be well-placed to develop a ministry that has real impact. You'll also have the chance to build strong local relationships, including exploring interfaith dialogue and creating deeper connections within the community. If you have a passion for reimagining what church and community can look like in today’s world, then we would love to hear from you.
The successful candidate must be able to demonstrate:
- A deep faith in Jesus, a strong sense of vocation, and a passion for evangelism and creative outreach.
- A passion and ability for planning and leading Gospel-centred teaching and outreach that is engaging, enjoyable, and impactful.
- Creativity and innovation in developing fresh, engaging resources to reach and minister to the missing generations.
- Experience in pastoral care within the church, and a natural ability to build trusted relationships with those outside the church community.
While theological qualifications are valued, relevant experience will be considered more heavily.

This new role will work with our experienced and well respected team and our extensive network, to make the political case for the better legal recognition and real-world protection for the right to health.
An ideal candidate
You will be a passionate and experienced advocate for health, human, social or environmental rights, committed to driving meaningful change in the UK.

You will know how the UK political and parliamentary systems work, and you are skilled at influencing these processes through clear, compelling narratives backed by evidence.
You are able to communicate with clarity and impact, tailoring your message to diverse audiences - from policymakers to grassroots activists. You are confident working independently and collaboratively within a small, flexible team, balancing strategic vision with practical delivery. Your approach is solutions-focused, inclusive, and grounded in the lived realities of people affected by health inequalities.
Most importantly, you are motivated by the opportunity to join a dynamic and well respected organisation and lead a strategic campaign that challenges the status quo and contributes to a fairer, more just UK.
