  • 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.
