- Committed and theologically articulate evangelical Christian, able to speak on behalf of the organisation and interact pastorally with donors.
- Godly and spiritually mature person who respects the contribution of others and values team harmony.
- Proven ability to communicate a compelling organisational narrative that resonates across different cultural settings.
- An innovative mindset that is able to think beyond traditional fundraising models to bring fresh approaches to growing income streams.
- Focused and strategic, able to construct and meet ambitious targets while retaining a mature understanding of what is realistic.
- Growth-oriented and enthusiastic about expanding the reach of the ministry, while refusing to compromise on core values.

-
Supporting with finance projects which make our finance systems work more efficiently, simply and sustainably e.g. helping to update our budget spreadsheets and approach to budgeting, or moving to a new bank

Supporting the Head of Finance with budgets, financial planning and reports and any other ad hoc finance tasks

Excellence is important to you and it shows in your work. Whatever you do, you do it to a high standard
