Are you a wordsmith with a heart for mission and a gift for bringing stories to life? Do you want your creativity to make a real difference for a ministry with a global impact?

Then this could be your calling.

International Mission to Jewish People (IMJP) exists to share the good news of Jesus the Messiah with Jewish people around the world. They are rooted in prayer, passionate about mission, and committed to communicating their story with grace, clarity and truth.

Right now, IMJP are partnering with Charisma to recruit a talented Communications Officer to join their small but impactful team. This is a full-time, office-based role (with some hybrid flexibility) based at their Eynsham HQ near Oxford.

You will be responsible for crafting inspiring content for a range of channels - print, digital, email and social media - working alongside the existing Communications Officer to shape how IMJP communicates its vision, stories and needs to supporters and the wider world. From writing newsletters and appeal emails, to scripting video content and producing eye-catching resources, you will play a vital part in their mission.

You will need to be an excellent writer and editor, comfortable managing multiple deadlines, and confident working with design tools like Adobe InDesign and Photoshop. Experience with social media, email marketing platforms such as Mailchimp, and a good grasp of GDPR and content sensitivity will also serve you well.

But more than skills, IMJP is looking for someone with heart. Someone with a genuine passion for sharing the gospel. Someone who can communicate sensitively and creatively in a cross-cultural context. Someone who is excited about prayer, storytelling and the life-changing message at the centre of this work.

Do you care deeply about mission, justice, and the future of the church? Do you want your skills to help shape something that really matters?

Then this might be for you.

Church Mission Society (CMS) is a movement of people who believe that every person can live out their part in God’s mission. CMS works globally and locally, making Jesus known at the edges, where the church is least known but beautifully alive. And right now, we’re partnering with CMS to recruit up to four new trustees to help lead this work forward.

This isn’t about ticking boxes or just turning up to meetings. It’s about bringing your wisdom, your experience, your faith and your heart to a board that genuinely cares about each other, the people CMS serves, and the world they are called to reach.

You don’t need to have all the answers. But you do need to be thoughtful, strategic and committed to the vision. We’re especially keen to hear from people with skills in finance (CFA or equivalent), governance or legal, HR, fundraising, digital or mission leadership. If you’ve been part of a global majority church, worked cross-culturally, or led at the grassroots, your voice is especially welcome.

We are committed to building a more diverse and representative board. All appointments will be made based on the skills, experience and qualities required for the role. However, we particularly welcome applications from individuals from minority ethnic communities and those with lived experience of global majority heritage.

We’re not simply saying your voice matters at the table – we recognise that it is essential.

Timewise, the commitment includes four board meetings a year, plus roughly 10 hours a month for things like preparing for meetings, joining a subgroup, or visiting a project. The bigger roles like finance and governance leads will need a bit more time, so may suit someone not in full-time work.

You’ll be joining a board that’s thoughtful, prayerful and not afraid to wrestle with big questions. So we’re looking for people who are strategic and spiritual. Serious about governance, yes, but also about kindness, hospitality and hope.
If that sounds like your kind of place, we’d love to hear from you.

Your expression of interest should include your CV and supporting statement.

We welcome and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds. We do not discriminate on the basis of disability, race, colour, ethnicity, gender, religion*, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, or other category protected by law.

We are delighted to be working with Restore, an Oxfordshire-based charity that has been offering employment support to people with mental ill-health since 1977. Restore supports people - through recovery groups, coaching and learning - to take control of their own recovery, develop skills, and progress towards their own goals to live more fulfilling lives. It works within the community to increase knowledge, awareness and reduce stigma associated with mental ill health. Restore is also home to the Oxfordshire Recovery College for therapeutic peer learning and is an expert provider of formal mental health training.

Restore are now seeking to appoint a Treasurer, to join the Board to support the organisation to achieve its goals. They will have a strategic role ensuring that the organisation complies with its purpose, charity law and company law and that the organisation pursues its objectives as defined in its governing document.

The Treasurer will have relevant accounting/finance experience to oversee all financial aspects of Restore, on behalf of the Board, to ensure its short and long-term sustainability. They will partner with the CEO and Head of Finance and Administration, along with chairing the Finance sub-committee to ensure that Restore operates within the financial guidelines set out in current legislation, by the charity commission and in Restore’s governing document.

Aside from specialist skills, the successful candidate will need excellent communication skills with great leadership qualities, the ability to confidently lead the Board, promote a collaborative team, deliver the vision of the charity and bring people together.

The successful candidate will need these essential skills:

• Some Board-level or governance-related experience
• Strategic vision and sound independent judgement
• Creative thinking and problem solving
• An understanding of legal duties, responsibilities and liabilities of trusteeship
• A commitment to and passion for Restore’s aims and objectives
• Integrity, objectivity, accountability, honesty and leadership.

Restore has been a fairly diverse board over the years and are still looking for ways to improve. The Board recognises the need to be entirely representative of the community it serves in Oxfordshire and is keen for the board to reflect it. We welcome and encourage adult applicants of all ages, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, sexual orientation, socio-economic background, religion, neurodiversity and lived experience. 

Time Commitments:
You’ll need to be able to:

• Attend quarterly board meetings from 4:30pm to 7pm.
• Attend the Annual General Meeting (AGM) alongside the CEO once per year.
• The Treasurer will Chair the Finance Sub Committee
• Trustees will join a Sub Committee linked to skill set, in order to get a proper feel for what is going on and contribute to discussion and decision-making.
• Make visits to recovery groups and head office teams to ensure you stay close to the services we are providing
• Correspond by email to discuss items and make decisions between meetings
• Attend other activities/fundraising events. 

Meetings are currently hybrid, where attendance can be in person or online. Restore are aware that people who are working full-time or have family/other responsibilities may not always be able to travel to the meetings in person. It is important that Trustees are able to visit services, attend at least some meetings in person and have a connection with the community to which we deliver services. With this in mind, it’s unlikely that you will be based outside of Oxfordshire and its surrounding counties. 

Tenure: 
Trustees can join at any time during the year but are formally appointed at the November AGM for a three-year term at a time which can be extended twice (plus an extra year by agreement).

If you feel you have a passion for mental health and the aims of this charity, we would like to hear from you. Your application should include your CV and supporting statement.
