Are you a confident networker with a heart for the local Church and a passion for helping churches reach, disciple and mobilise older people? We’re looking for someone to help us build new relationships across the UK, grow our Church Champion network, strengthen engagement, and represent Faith in Later Life at Christian exhibitions and events.
Job Title: Church Engagement Lead (Part Time)
Hours: 17.5 hours/week
Salary: £14,750 actual salary (FTE £29,500)
Location: Home-based in the UK, with regular UK-wide travel
Reports to: CEO
Who we are:
Faith in Later Life is a UK Christian charity inspiring and equipping Christians to reach, disciple and mobilise older people in every community, through the local Church.
We work through a growing network of Church Champions - church leaders, seniors ministry workers and other Christians - inspiring and equipping them through relationships, events, training and practical resources. We are a small staff team, supported by an experienced Trustee Board and volunteers. Find out more at faithinlaterlife.org.
