Bradford RESET uniquely combines our Navigator existing services focused on domestic abuse, delivered by Bridge, with an extensive new programme offer for individuals aged 16 and over who cause harm. This integration creates a vibrant opportunity for Bradford to tackle the underlying causes of domestic abuse by providing effective, therapeutic, and proactive support.

The Diocese of Newcastle is seeking a Community Missioner for St Michael's Byker.
Excited by the idea of being church in a different way? Looking to serve the mission of God in a distinctive location? Want to be at the heart of a unique partnership with a brand new £4m Youth and Community hub and revamped church building? Are you called to serve St Michael’s Parish in the middle of the iconic Byker Estate in Newcastle upon Tyne?
The Bishop of Newcastle is seeking to appoint a full-time Community Missioner (initial funding for five years) in the parish of Byker St Michael’s. This is an opportunity for an energetic, strategic and creative person to enable the church in this vibrant North East community to grow even younger and more outward in mission, to recognise and celebrate where God is already at work, and to work with the Spirit in order to grow faith and build community in new ways.
This new full-time post has been created in order to resource a parish in mission at a critical moment in its history. As the new City Council funded Youth and Community hub opens, and gets established, there is a unique opportunity for the church to partner in this development, building on the innovative mission and ministry in Byker over the last twenty years. There is a brand-new Youth space and the church building has been completely re-developed with sustainability and flexibility at the heart of a beautiful new design.
Collaborative working with clergy and lay leaders across the five Byker and Walker parishes has been the norm for many years as part of MINE: Mission Initiative Newcastle East, and along with the Lighthouse project and initiatives such as MINE Youth and the partnership with Eden in Byker. This post will be supported more widely by the diocesan Mission and Ministry Team and the Organising for Growth programme from The Centre for Theology and Community.
