Introduction
Countering Hate, Cultivating Hope is a three-year programme (1 April 2026 – 31 March 2029) responding to rising community tensions and the risk of people being drawn towards divisive narratives and behaviours. Rooted in the legacy of decades of church engagement and aligned with the Church of England’s Vision & Strategy and From Lament to Action.
Delivery follows a hub-and-spoke model: Together Liverpool provides central leadership, coordination, learning and evaluation, while delivery is led locally through partner dioceses (initially Liverpool and Chelmsford in the revised scope), with local staff and partners holding parish relationships and implementing activity.
The programme has two strands:
- Speaking Out: equipping clergy and lay leaders with training, resources and theological reflection to challenge divisive narratives, strengthen inter-faith and civic relationships, and support public voice.
- Working with communities: working in high-deprivation contexts to listen well, support basic needs, and co-design practical pathways into inclusion, opportunity and wellbeing.
Key outputs are a transferable national model, including a digital impact tool, annual impact/funder reporting, a scalable toolkit/resource, and a summative learning conference.
Together Liverpool partners with the Diocese of Liverpool who support us, for example, in providing payroll services, providing office space etc. with the worked being directed by Together Liverpool and overseen by trustees.
Role purpose
To provide high-quality programme coordination, administration and reporting support that enables the programme to run smoothly across partners, supporting meetings, events, impact tool activity, and funder and stakeholder reporting.
You will be highly organised and proactive, with a strong track record of supporting multi-partner programmes through effective systems and clear communication. You will be comfortable working across multiple partners, handling sensitive information with discretion, and supporting senior colleagues with reliable coordination (meetings, events and reporting). You will have strong attention to detail, be comfortable bringing clarity to multiple strands of work, and be confident following up on actions and deadlines—without being the frontline delivery lead.
A significant part of this project is supporting clergy and lay leaders through training and theological reflection. It is essential that the postholder can credibly handle faith language, church culture and understands the context for project delivery.
