Job Summary As part of a wider Mission and Ministry Team, the Mission and Discipleship Trainer will equip and support lay ministers and all interested learners in their theological understanding, spiritual growth, and practical ministry skills. They will contribute to the teaching and worship life of the diocese, engaging with a breadth of Anglican traditions. There are three key aspects of the responsibilities in this role. The first is, in communication with the Mission and Discipleship Enabler, to develop more contextual and locally based training contexts for existing and emerging learning and training programmes to facilitate more accessibility for parishes and benefices for which the diocesan offices are less accessible. This will involve working with strategic places identified in the South, Southwest, and North of the diocese to implement the vision to establish satellite training centres. Initially this will focus on BPP (Bishop s Permission to Preach); BCM programmes (Bishop s Commission for Mission); and introductory theology and discipleship programmes. The second is promoting discipleship and ministerial training through networking and intentional communications to accelerate efforts being made to equip a broader demographic of Christians with leadership skills in view of the diocesan and national Church of England vision and values to become younger and more diverse . This will involve working collaboratively with the Mission and Discipleship Enabler, the Young Vocations Team (team under development), and the Racial Justice Advisor, alongside other team members and also work with clergy to understand specific contexts of training needs arising. Success in promotions and recruitment of more diverse Christians will require working with the COMs team to support effective use of social media to target younger audiences, facilitate fast updates of events, and identify opportunities for story sharing. Thirdly, there is a responsibility to oversee, grow, and develop the network of Children, Youth and Families ministers/workers. This will include responsibility for organising, hosting and, where appropriate, delivering training at these events, and overseeing the BCM in Children, Youth and Families work. Part of the work will also be to support specific CYF workers including, where helpful, visiting them on site to encourage and advise them in their work and put them in communication with the network for mutual ongoing support. It will involve keeping up to date with the national initiatives for CYF to facilitate a connected approach. An important development in this aspect of the role will be to help implement a vision for more collaborative work with the Education Team to promote and help facilitate close working between churches and schools across the diocese. Key role requirements: This is an office-based role, with the expectation to work for 2-3 days per week from home. The role will involve travel across the diocese, with occasional evening and weekend commitments. About you: We are seeking someone who can demonstrate the following background and experience: A BA (Hons) or equivalent in theology is essential. An MA or higher degree in theology is desirable. Excellent level of English both spoken and written. Demonstrated success in training, and supporting volunteer teams is essential. Experience in developing and maintaining digital learning environments and online resources is essential.

Experience in teaching theology and facilitating worship across diverse Anglican traditions. Please refer to the Job Description for detailed information about the role and person specification. What we offer: Salary A salary of £40,144 per annum. Terms Full-time, 35 hours per week on a permanent basis (subject to a 6-month probationary period) Benefits 25 days annual leave plus eight bank holidays Employer s pension contribution of 10% of your salary A recently refurbished office environment with landscaped gardens and plenty of on-site parking Access to Health Assured, an Employee Assistance Programme For an informal discussion about this role please contact Amy Roche, Head of Mission and Ministry.
