Careers
We are small, the work is demanding, and we would rather tell you what a job actually involves than what it sounds like.
These are illustrative role descriptions, not live vacancies
No openings are currently advertised. The roles below describe the kinds of position this organisation would recruit for, so that the careers section is complete and functional.
No salaries, locations, contract types or closing dates have been invented — each appears as a marked placeholder. Replace the entries in src/data/involvement.ts with real vacancies when recruiting.
Roles
Support partner organisations through the full programme cycle — planning, monitoring, review and honest reporting — with a strong bias towards local decision-making.
Build and sustain relationships with supporting congregations, and keep church partnerships genuinely two-way rather than sponsorship arrangements.
Strengthen how we measure what lasts — designing methods that track continuation after handover rather than outputs delivered.
Look after the people who support this work — answering questions properly, managing giving records, and never applying pressure.
Hold organisational responsibility for safeguarding across staff, trustees, volunteers and every partner organisation.
Working here
Being honest
We advertise openly, shortlist against the criteria in the job description, and tell unsuccessful candidates promptly rather than leaving them wondering.
Interviews involve a practical task related to the actual job, because a conversation alone tells you surprisingly little. We share the questions in advance, since testing whether someone can think under ambush conditions is not testing anything we need.
Every role is subject to safeguarding checks appropriate to it, and every appointment requires references we actually follow up. Roles involving contact with children or vulnerable adults require background checks to the extent local law allows.
Safeguarding training is mandatory for everyone, including senior leaders and trustees. There are no exemptions for seniority.
We keep them, and we do read them. If you have skills we are likely to need — monitoring and evaluation, finance, safeguarding, or a relevant language — tell us even when nothing is advertised.
Send us a speculative application. We keep them on file and we do read them.
