This new role will help shape ECCR’s work with churches and individuals, and specifically its resources and offerings to Christians from Black Majority churches in Greater London.
ECCR (JustMoney Movement from November 2022) is a Christian charity with a vision of a fairer, greener world – where justice and peace flourish, where creation is well cared for and the rights of the vulnerable are protected.
Its Money Makes Change programme empowers Christians to use their voice and finances to shape a fairer, greener world. This might include looking at their choice of bank, how their pension is invested, which companies they buy from or how they advocate for a fairer financial system.
ECCR is increasingly aware that though it works ecumenically (it is a Body in Association with CTBI and Churches Together in England) and aims to equip Christians from a wide range of churches, it could be doing much more to listen to, serve and partner with the growing Black Majority churches in the UK.
Pilot project
The person appointed will be delivering a new pilot project that aims to empower Christians from Black Majority churches and networks in Greater London to align their finances with their values and be champions of ethical finance, helping make the finance sector and wider society more equitable for people from marginalised communities.
Given the diversity of Black Majority congregations in Greater London, the role holder may focus the pilot project on working with a specific denomination eg the Redeemed Christian Church of God or the New Testament Church of God. This will be discussed at the start of the project and may be shaped by the role holder’s own background, contacts and networks.
Contract
ECCR is recruiting for an 8-month contract but hopes to extend this if longer-term funding is secured.
Closing date
10 August 2022 at 18:00.
