OCN London is a nationally recognised Ofqual-regulated awarding organisation and education charity with a social mission to widen participation in education and support learners from all backgrounds. With a strong focus on adult learning, community engagement and inclusive qualifications, OCN London works in partnership with education providers, employers, and voluntary sector organisations to create accessible pathways into further learning and employment.

As a registered charity, OCN London is governed by a committed board of trustees who bring strategic insight and sector expertise to guide its development.

The organisation is currently entering a new phase of growth, guided by a refreshed five-year strategic plan focused on social mobility, skills development, and expanding its reach across London and beyond.

This is an exciting time to be joining the Board of BMS World Mission. As a trustee, you will be joining at a time of transformation. The phenomenal growth of the Church in the Majority World is arguably the most significant development in Christianity in the 21st century. While the Church in the West has struggled, in Africa, Asia, and Latin America it thrives. This reality has presented unprecedented opportunities for the spread of the gospel, as mission becomes from everywhere to everywhere.  

We are currently looking for two trustees, including a safeguarding trustee. 

To maintain the gender balance on our Board, we welcome female applicants for this role.

Please note that this is a voluntary position. 

 As a BMS trustee, you will: 

• Be committed to BMS’ vision and mission 

• Be able to think creatively and strategically and exercise good, independent judgement

• Be able to communicate effectively 

• Be willing to participate actively in discussion, including sharing different perspectives 

• Be able to work collaboratively

• Be open to learn and develop in your role as trustee 

BMS World Mission was founded in 1792 and we are proud of how we have adapted to the challenges facing each generation. BMS has grown as a global community of mission personnel, partners and international workers in more than 30 countries across Africa, Asia, South America and Europe, supported by more than 1,500 churches around the UK. Together, we’re inspired by our heart to bring the gospel where it’s not known, to bring practical hope to a troubled world and to bring help for the journeys of the displaced.

The successful applicant will be a committed Christian. The nature of this voluntary position means that this is a specific occupational requirement.

Key information

• BMS Office Location:  Didcot, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom.

• Closing date:  17.00 UK time, Thursday 8 January 2026  

• Interviews will be held online on Wednesday 4 February 2025 

You can download the BMS Trustee Recruitment Pack (below) to find out more. If you have any questions about this opportunity or the recruitment process, please feel free to contact Heather Drury, Director of People and Culture.

Are you a Christian with a passion for addressing the climate and biodiversity crises? Do you believe the Church has a vital role to play in this work?

One of the UK’s first faith-based climate charities, Operation Noah was established in 2004 as an ecumenical Christian response to the climate crisis. Over the past twenty years, we have become known as a small charity that makes a big impact – not only in the UK, but around the world.

From our environmentally-themed Bible study Tenants of the King, to the creation of the Climate Sunday service, to getting nearly every UK denomination to divest from fossil fuels, Operation Noah has engaged with thousands of Christians on the climate and nature crises, built coalitions to lobby the government, and moved millions of pounds out of oil, gas and coal.

Operation Noah is looking for new trustees to help lead our mission to inspire and equip the Church to take action on climate change. In this voluntary position, you will play an active role in shaping the strategic direction of the charity and supporting its growth. We are especially looking for people with skills in Human Resources or Fundraising.

Commitments from our Board of Trustees include:

• Attending approximately six board meetings per year (held via Zoom or hybrid from London, lasting around two hours)
• Using your professional skills to support strategic decision-making
• Some of your time. Trustees on average give 2-4 hours per month to the charity, though some trustees with increased levels of responsibility give 5-10 hours of their time monthly

Nicky Bull, Operation Noah Trustee from June 2012 to December 2023, said this:

‘My time in post was a hugely rewarding experience. I had very little specialist knowledge but I was concerned that climate change was not seen as a crucial issue within the Christian Church and it has been really encouraging to see the changes that have taken place over the last decade and to be part of an enthusiastic team helping to bring about those changes. I have learned a great deal and would really recommend anyone to join the inspirational group of people who are the trustees of Operation Noah.’

Our trustees play a vital role in making sure that ESS Education and Support Services achieves its core purpose. They oversee the overall management and administration of the charity. They also ensure that ESS Education and Support Services has a clear strategy and that our work and goals are in line with our vision. Just as importantly, they support and challenge the executive team to enable ESS Education and Support Services to grow and thrive, and through this, achieve our mission.

Board members have a collective responsibility. This means that trustees always act as a group and not as individuals.

Duties:

· Support and provide advice on ESS Education and Support Service’s purpose, vision, goals and activities.

· Approve operational strategies and policies, and monitor and evaluate their implementation.

· Oversee ESS Education and Support Service’s financial plans and budgets and monitor and evaluate progress.

· Provide support and challenge to ESS Education and Support Services’ CEO in the exercise of their delegated authority and affairs.

· Keep abreast of changes in ESS Education and Support Services’ operating environment.

· Contribute to regular reviews of ESS Education and Support services’ own governance. Attend Board meetings, adequately prepared to contribute to discussions.

· Use independent judgment, acting legally and in good faith to promote and protect ESS Education and Support Service’s interests, to the exclusion of their own personal and/or any third-party interests.

· Contribute to the broader promotion of ESS Education and Support Services objects, aims and reputation by applying your skills, expertise, knowledge, and contacts.

As a small charity, there will be times when the trustees will need to be actively involved beyond Board meetings. This may involve scrutinising board papers, leading discussions, focusing on key issues, providing advice and guidance on new initiatives, presenting externally, or other issues in which the trustee has special expertise.

Every year as part of our mandate, we train new practitioners in the Talitha Approach to deliver our workshops. Our approach is 'person-centred', meaning it is tailored to the individuals we serve. Our practitioners are both professional creative artists and registered therapists who are passionate about the Talitha Mission.
