Church and Community Partnerships Lead

Description

The Leprosy Mission Northern Ireland is recruiting for a Church and Community Partnerships Lead. This is a key permanent full-time role within our Lisburn-based team.

We are seeking a ‘people person’ with a strong Christian faith who is highly motivated and has a genuine passion for the underprivileged and marginalised. They will be a good team player and have relevant, proven experience, and excellent organisational and communication skills. Working alongside the National Director, the Church and Community Partnerships Lead will develop and deliver plans to better engage the local church and intentionally form a wider and deeper spread of church and community partnerships that result in ongoing and meaningful engagement and support of The Leprosy Mission. They will also champion volunteering within The Leprosy Mission and grow our network of volunteers (speakers, fundraisers and advocates) to increase support that ultimately helps to defeat leprosy and transform the lives of those affected by this cruel disease.

The Leprosy Mission NI is a Christian development organisation that works to cure, care for and restore persons, families and communities affected by leprosy. Our vision is a world where leprosy is defeated, and lives are transformed. As part of a global organisation, we work in 27 countries worldwide and are the largest player in the global fight against leprosy. Following the example of Jesus Christ, The Leprosy Mission strives to bring about transformation; breaking the chains of leprosy and empowering people to attain healing, dignity and life in all its fullness.
