In return, there will be many opportunities for you to enhance your skill set and gain new experiences, whilst performing a highly valued role, in an organisation striving to make a positive difference. This role can be fulfilled on a hybrid basis, with some requirement for a physical presence in the office (Church House Oxford, Kidlington, Oxford, OX5 1GF). You do not need to be a practising Christian or have a faith to work with us - around 50% of our staff are not practising Christians but are comfortable with the Christian ethos that underpins our work.
