Do you have a strong vocation to lead and manage a committed team of staff and volunteers, live as part of a healing, ecumenical community and be alongside our guests as they respond to loss, sorrow, and pain by finding new hope? People turn to us at times of trauma and transition to find their own strength, and we offer a holistic and sacramental approach based on justice, peace and ecology.

Following a restructuring of responsibilities within the denomination, the Free Church of England is looking to appoint an engaging and supportive individual to be the new Company Secretary of the Free Church of England Central Trust and General Secretary of the Free Church of England. The role holder will work with our Bishops and other leaders to enable growth and effectiveness in the ministry of the Church.

The Team Leader will have an overview of all ministry training in the diocese, including IME phase 2 and the broad spectrum of lay ministry. They will lead an enthusiastic team of colleagues, including both staff and volunteers. The training team sits within a wider diocesan team which is rich in experience and gifts, offering great opportunities for collaboration.
