London, Greater London, United Kingdom Quakers Full time

We are seeking an enthusiastic, pragmatic person who is excited by what spirit-led growth might mean in a faith context. Our local development team is a key part of our plans to reinvigorate Quakerism and to help Quaker communities thrive.

As a local development worker, you will support Quaker communities to be inclusive, welcoming and all-age. The support areas include worship, community, organisational management, social action, collaboration in the wider community, and outreach. You will provide accompaniment, facilitation, project support, and training. You will work alongside others at Quakers in Britain and Woodbrooke to provide resources and opportunities that grow from the identified needs of local Quakers.

Hours: 28 hours per week (Including some weekends and evenings and frequent travel in the region and nationally)

We invite applications from people who are:

  • Good listeners with experience of working with groups to develop and deliver a shared vision.
  • Familiar with Quaker worship, community, witness, and organisation.
  • Organised and resourceful, able to research information, analyse and sift it, and apply it appropriately to a range of situations and personalities.
  • Creative and adaptable, able to encourage innovation and support experimentation.
  • Digitally curious, willing to experiment with digital platforms and programmes to develop community and progress work.

    Alongside the opportunity to transform the experience of Quakers across Britain, we offer a generous benefits package.

    For further information and to apply, please visit our website via the 'Apply' button.

    Closing date: 9am on Monday 20 May 2024.

    Interview date: Tuesday 4 June 2024.

    Quakers have a faith commitment to equality, and encourage and welcome applications for posts from all sections of society. You do not have to be a Quaker to apply for this post, but we expect you to uphold the values of our organisation.

    Quakers in Britain is committed to safeguarding children and adults at risk and expects all of its staff and volunteers to share and uphold this commitment.
