Job description

Shades Worker

Shades is a racial justice and faith project that supports schools and churches to be a place of belonging and flourishing for everyone.

Shades is a racial justice and faith project that supports schools and churches to be a place of belonging and flourishing for everyone. The project’s activities enable schools and churches to create a safe space for dialogue and learning, empowering children, young people and adults to celebrate diversity, champion difference and put love into action as modelled through the life of Jesus.

The project aims to develop discipleship pathways for children, young people and their families, enabling them to grow in their Christian faith and to belong to a thriving church community.

In response to the exciting growth of the Shades Project, we are looking to appoint an additional Shades Worker to support the growing opportunities for Christian discipleship and to embed the Shades ethos in primary and secondary schools and parishes across our diocese.

We welcome applications from candidates from all backgrounds. A passion for racial justice, the Christian faith and working with children and young people is essential. Experience of working within a racial justice context, although desirable is not essential, given the wide range of training and development opportunities provided.
