We are partnering with others to end poverty in Africa.

And while we’ve achieved some incredible results, there’s still a lot we can do together. 

We recognise the important role faith plays as a source of hope and inspiration for millions of people who experience poverty and injustice, and the unique place of faith communities as transformational change agents.
 

This is why we are looking for a dynamic and highly skilled individual to help drive forward our work with churches. 

We are looking for a strategic thinker, with a good knowledge of theology and development; someone with strong interpersonal skills who is comfortable communicating to diverse external and internal audiences; someone with solid experience in developing strong working relationships and collaboration with faith-based organisations, including senior church leaders; and someone with the ability to manage people remotely, as you will also be line managing a number of our Country Managers.
