Association of Interchurch Families seeks part-time Executive Officer

The Association of Interchurch Families (AIF) is seeking to appoint a part-time Executive Officer.

The Executive Officer will work with the trustees in delivering the Association's three-fold mission of providing an information service for interchurch families and others; a pastoral support network; and a "voice in the churches". Read more about our mission here .

During the pandemic, AIF embarked on a strategy of digital evangelisation, using online resources to improve its engagement with both its members and those who want to know more about being in an interchurch family. Implementation of this strategy is still in its early days and there are many opportunities yet to be exploited by the new Executive Officer who will help to promote and deliver the strategy as a key enabler of the Association's mission - while also providing the full range of executive functions necessary for it to operate effectively as a charity.

The successful candidate will be:

Organised, efficient, and outward-looking with the skills and personal attributes necessary to support a small charity which relies heavily on volunteers.

- Experienced and comfortable in working with websites, digital platforms and databases.

- Committed to the advancement of ecumenical relations and church unity.

This is a part-time post for 10 hours per week with the possibility of additional hours being worked as required and by negotiation. The FTE salary will be £30,000 (pro-rata, based on a 37-hour week).

The role is home-based. The post-holder will be expected to work flexibly to suit the requirements of both the job and their personal situation.
