This work is vital in equipping our Outreach team with powerful, story-rich content that inspires awareness, prayer and generosity in support of our mission.

The role is well-suited to a practicing Christian with a heart for global mission, a deep respect for ethical storytelling, and a meticulous approach to organisation and digital asset management.

Safeguarding & Consent

• Ensure all content received meets internal safeguarding standards and has the appropriate permissions and consent for use.
• Keep accurate records of consent forms and sensitive materials.

Spiritual Integrity

• Model and uphold Christian values in all communications and storytelling.
• Prayerfully engage with the stories shared, recognising the sacred trust we hold in honouring the lives and experiences of those we serve.
