When looking at a new job, thereare many unknowns and so we’ve created this pack to  share some of the thingsthat are important to us and to describe in a little more detail some of the thingsthat we care deeply about.We want people to love their job and those they serve  – showing love andrespect to others through the way we work, as well as expressing this  throughour practical help and support. Our work spans across different groups andincludes supporting  refugees, people who are homeless or at risk ofhomelessness, those in hardship, and women at risk of exploitation.Our church/charity staff team is diverse and includes people of other faiths andno faith. Together, we have recently agreed four common values we outworkacross all that we do (Creativity, Pioneering, Empowering and CompassionateCommunity). We love being creative people, and we enjoy  pioneering newprojects, finding new ways of doing things, and we don’t mind the odd failure –it’s just a first attempt! Since the pandemic, our church congregation has changedits meeting structures   in favour of being church in a different way – in smallergroupings, often using homes to build closer relationships that are  moreoutward-looking and inclusive. We believe in empowering people – doing thingswith them not for them, seeing them gain the skills they need for  their lives toimprove. An example of this is our never-ending, free English classes that takeplace every week, with people from all over the world. Many  of the people wework with have lost contact with, or been separated from, their families and sobuilding authentic community is key for them, finding a place to belong  and maketheir contribution.We are looking for people from different backgrounds and life experiences, whowant not only to  work here, but to find fulfilment in working to make adifference in all the ways we’ve shared.Thank you again for your interest in the role.
