Programme & Team Administrator

NCI · York

The Northern Mission Enabling Team supports dioceses, churches and leaders in church planting, parish revitalisation and mission development across the North of England. Working with the Archbishop's Mission Enabler for the North, the team delivers the Northern Enabling Strategy as part of the Faith in the North initiative. This strategy has received £3.4 million of funding to deliver its main objectives by 2029:

Create the conditions for new worshipping communities across the province
Work with leaders across the region to offer focused consultancy, provide access to expertise and support peer learning in church planting
Train leaders through Camino, a new resource church leader training programme run in partnership with St Hild College
Support leaders of local new worshipping communities through ‘activation grants’
Help northern resource churches to accelerate their planting plans through additional funding

The successful candidate will join the Northern Mission Enabling Team, a small project team that values being positive, innovative and collaborative. The postholder will support the programme as a whole and facilitate the work of our team of mission enablers, especially those engaged in developing intercultural mission. The postholder will report to the Programme Manager, who will oversee and prioritise their work across the team.

This role is being advertised as 0.6 FTE, but we would be willing to look at flexible options between 0.4 and 0.6 with the successful candidate. This post is offered on a fixed-term basis for 12 months initially; we hope to continue the role for a further two years subject to funding being confirmed later this year.

We Include. You Belong.

Our Belonging and Inclusion Strategy aims for everyone in the National Church Institutions (NCIs) to feel that they belong, and are valued for who they are and what they contribute. Together, our people contribute in different ways towards our common purpose, whichever NCI they work in and whatever their background.

Strive for Excellence
Show Compassion
Respect others

Act with Integrity

We believe our commitment to belonging and inclusion fuels our progress and drives us forward. The NCIs are a safe, inclusive workplace for people of all backgrounds and walks of life. We welcome applications from people of all faiths and of no faith. We want to encourage applications from a diverse group of people who share our values. Even if you have never thought about working for us before, if you have the skills and experience we’re looking for then we would like to hear from you.

We offer a highly competitive benefits package that supports your health, wellbeing and long-term financial security. This includes annual leave starting at 25 days' plus bank holidays and three additional NCI days, family friendly policies, a wellbeing cashback scheme, an electric vehicle salary sacrifice scheme, a defined benefit pension with employer contributions of up to 18%, and generous life assurance cover.

Use of AI in your application

We appreciate that you may want to use AI tools to help you with your application. We're happy for you to use AI to come up with ideas and help structure your thoughts, but you shouldn't use AI to fabricate information or write your whole application for you. One of our values is integrity, and although we want you to demonstrate your best self, we don't want an AI-generated persona. If you simply copy and paste AI-generated content into your application, this will reduce your chances of success.

Provide high‑quality admin support to the Northern Mission Enabling Team, aiding learning events, regional networks and strategic mission initiatives across the North of England.
