Vacancy

Church Engagement Lead

The UK is ageing, yet many older people have never heard or accepted the good news of Jesus. The Church has an urgent opportunity to reach, disciple and mobilise them.

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 represent Faith in Later Life at Christian exhibitions, build new relationships across the UK, grow our Church Champion network, and strengthen engagement.

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 travel
Reports to: CEO

About Us:
Faith in Later Life inspires and equips 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.

Job Purpose:
To grow our Church Champion network, deepen engagement with existing Church Champions and their churches, develop Mission Partnerships, encourage participation in our events and resources and support for our wider mission, and represent Faith in Later Life at conferences and exhibitions.

About You:
The successful applicant will be a committed and practising Christian who recognises the importance of reaching, discipling and mobilising older people, and is passionate about helping local churches respond to this opportunity. 

They will be an enthusiastic relationship-builder, confident making new connections, spotting opportunities, speaking publicly and representing Faith in Later Life professionally. Highly organised, reliable and proactive, they will understand the UK church landscape, work sensitively across denominations and traditions, and be able to work independently and follow things through.

They will also be digitally confident and hold a full UK driving licence with access to a suitable vehicle. The role includes transporting and setting up exhibition materials and spending extended periods staffing exhibition stands.

Some evening, weekend and school-holiday work, UK travel and overnight stays required.

Faith in Later Life is a Christian charity, and this role involves representing our Christian mission and working closely with churches and Christians. It is therefore an occupational requirement that the postholder is a practising Christian. The postholder will also be expected to subscribe to and work in accordance with the Evangelical Alliance’s Basis of Faith.
