Main purpose and responsibilities

All staff are expected to provide their own IT equipment including a computer suitable for the role’s demands.

Key responsibilities

  • Support the Ethics & Standards Committee to develop models of governance, codes of practice and other frameworks to support best practice
  • Liaise with the Learning Design Specialist and Faculty in identifying and developing CPD courses for ministers, as well as gathering feedback from ministers to contribute to the ongoing development of our living curriculum
  • Work with the Executive Director and Communications & Marketing Lead to develop narratives and key messages to support communications with the minister body and wider public in furthering our charitable objectives.
  • Work with the Executive Director and the Communications & Marketing Lead to proactively engage with external organisations and partners to develop successful partnerships that improve and expand the scope of spiritual education provided by OneSpirit Interfaith Foundation.

The Art of the Pause

True listening isn’t about waiting our turn, it’s a loving gesture of presence. In interfaith spaces, listening deeply creates space for stories, identity, grief, joy. It’s not about understanding perfectly, but about saying, “I’m here with you,” and offering connection as an act of love.
