Working closely with the Prior and Sub-Prior of the Community of St Paulinus, you will be responsible for integrating community organising practices into our missional approach and supporting others as they seek to do the same.
This is an exciting opportunity to bring your passion for social justice, and teamwork, organising and leadership development skills and experience to a role that will support economically deprived communities in working for the common good.
The new role of Community Organiser: Community of St Paulinus at Sheffield Cathedral plays a key role in establishing the Cathedral as a resourcing church, partnering with parishes in the inclusive catholic tradition and embedding community organising principles across our parish partnerships and the Cathedral itself. Community organising is not simply a method but a core discipline in this initiative — shaping how relationships are built, leaders are developed, and action is taken for the common good. Through this approach, the Cathedral and its partners will contribute to the founding of Sheffield Citizens and work collaboratively for justice and human flourishing across the region. At the heart of the resourcing project will be a new non-residential mission community called the Community of St Paulinus (CsP). Although based at the Cathedral, notably in the rhythm of prayer, the CsP will be deployed in contextual mission with parish partners. Working closely with the Prior and Sub-Prior, the community organiser will be responsible for integrating community organising practices into our missional approach and supporting others as they seek to do the same.
The Community Organiser will work with the CsP and the Project Resource Team - an agile group comprising a Project Manager, Fundraiser and Digital Evangelist - to provide practical and strategic support for missioners and parish partners engaged in parish revitalisation and the planting of new worshipping communities.
This is an incredibly exciting time to join a newly forming team passionate about renewal in sacramental parish life, local community building and broad-based efforts to foster justice in the neighborhood and region.
