Dear John

Do you share our vision of a UK in which everyone can live a full life, free from poverty? Do you want to work as part of a team bringing about meaningful change? 

Or do you know someone who might be interested in this opportunity?

Church Action on Poverty has a vacancy for a Speaking Truth to Power Development Coordinator

This role offers the opportunity to pilot our Speaking Truth to Power programme.

Our vision is that the UK can and must be transformed into a country where everyone can live a full life, free from poverty. Poverty robs people of dignity, freedom and hope, of power over their own lives. We believe that our vision – an end to poverty in the UK – can become a reality.

As a member of the Church Action on Poverty staff team, the Development Coordinator is expected to contribute towards achieving the organisation’s core strategic goal of building a more powerful social movement rooted in principles of dignity, agency and power, committed to realising this vision together.

The post-holder is responsible for piloting a new ‘Speaking Truth to Power’ programme to develop a network of leaders with lived experience across the UK.

They will work with local grassroots organisations to co-deliver a new capacity building programme that will bring together lived experience leaders ensuring the anti-poverty movement and strategy is led by people who experience poverty.

This is a 35-hour-a-week role for working from home or our offices in Salford Quays. The salary is £31,346–£35,745 dependent on experience, plus a 10% employer’s pension contribution and generous holiday entitlements.

Closing date: Friday 29 April 2022 at 10:00am

Interview date: Wednesday 4 or Thursday 5 May 2022 via Zoom

Best wishes
