It’s not just a job; it’s a call to make passion your profession!

Main purpose and responsibilities

The Community Development Lead will act as the first point of contact with OneSpirit ministers. The role will be responsible for developing our professional body, ROSIM, strengthening quality assurance, and supporting the development of governance models for our minister community.

Scope of the job

You will report to the Executive Director, and the role will involve close liaison with all other staff and faculty. This home-working post requires a fast broadband connection and a space suitable for a home office. All staff are expected to provide their own IT equipment including a computer suitable for the role’s demands.

Key responsibilities

  • Ensure measures are in place to support the quality assurance of the professional body representing graduate ministers, and introduce an annual return to gather impact data and showcase examples of inspiring practice
  • 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.
