We are looking for a committed, highly organised Head of Operations to join us and support JustMoney Movement's Executive Director and the wider team in turning our vision of a fairer, greener future into reality.

Background to the organisation and the role 

The JustMoney Movement is a Christian charity, with longstanding relationships across the Catholic, Anglican, Nonconformist and Pentecostal denominations. We have a vision of a fairer, greener future, and we believe money is integral to shaping that future. As Christians we believe our use of money should flow from our faith and values such as justice, compassion, the dignity of all, and the importance of caring for creation.

Our work is mostly online and our team work largely remotely, with some team members coming together in a shared office space in London regularly. We are a very small team, punching above our weight and seeking to have a significant impact on economic and financial system change. We are a values-led organisation putting a high store on the wellbeing of our staff, the quality of our relationships and collaborations, and the integrity of our ways of working.   

Our vision, strategy and activities 

The financial system and wider economy are harming people and planet, leading to crises in our climate and nature and to huge economic inequalities. We rebranded from ECCR to the JustMoney Movement in 2022 to reflect our aim to build a movement of people seeking a more just use of money. Our theory of change is that we need to draw together a diverse range of Christians, churches and Christian networks, as part of a broader movement, to help create political space for financial and wider economic system transformation.

Our current strategic priority is to increase the reach, depth and diversity of engagement of Christian individuals, congregations and networks in the UK with the JustMoney Movement, in order to have a meaningful impact on policy and practice for a fairer, greener future. We do this through a range of activities including: 

• Education and training on finance and economics e.g. our Money Makes Change hub, to harness churches’ large ‘financial footprint’ for social and environmental impact. 

• Communications and campaigning e.g. via our Church Action for Tax Justice campaign and on green and fair banking, channelling the churches’ grassroot scale, reach and influence to maximise public pressure. 

• High level influencing and thought leadership, convening faith leaders and organisations, to resource a credible, distinctive voice on economic transformation.

Overcoming imposter syndrome

At Our Second Home, we know that self-doubt can hold people back from pursuing opportunities they’re more than capable of excelling in. The term “imposter syndrome” is often used to describe this feeling—the belief that one’s accomplishments aren’t legitimate or that they don’t truly reflect effort or ability.

We want to encourage anyone who is passionate about our mission and eager to take on a meaningful challenge to apply for this role, even if you don’t tick every box on paper. We value the unique skills, perspectives, and experiences each individual brings and are committed to supporting the right candidate to grow, thrive, and make a lasting impact alongside us. You might be exactly who we’re looking for!

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.
