Campaigns and Church Engagement Officer
Can you motivate church members to activism and inspire them to bring about change? The Methodist Church is seeking to recruit a Campaigns and Church Engagement Officer with a passionate commitment to the Christian call for justice.
You will work for the Methodist Church as part of the ecumenical Joint Public Issues Team, which helps the partner Churches (Baptist, Methodist and United Reformed Church), plus our associate partners, to work together for peace and justice. We do this through listening, learning, praying, speaking and acting on public policy issues.
The Campaigns and Church Engagement Officer will help church members across Britain to be part of this work by developing campaigns on issues such as poverty, refugees and the climate, enabling churches to develop positive and purposeful relationships with their MPs through the Constituency Action Network, and producing effective and creative communications and resources.
For more information about the work of the team and its hopes for society, visit: Joint Public Issues Team (jpit.uk)
NB There is an occupational requirement for the post holder to be a committed Christian and member in good standing of a member church of CTBI for this role, under Schedule 9 (part 1) of the Equality Act 2010.
