Called to Be Friends: Being God’s People in Dark Times

The World Day of the Poor is a Catholic day of observance that was introduced by Pope Francis seven years ago. And it’s meant to get the people of the Church – that’s us – to shift, from an arm’s length relationship with poverty, to a more relational sense of relationship with people who happen to be poor. And although it is called a “day” it’s actually asking for new behaviours, not just for one day a year, but for every day.

Let's End Poverty

" Overlapping values promotes a win-win outcome, where private sector businesses can see if their commercial interests align with the goals of the Let’s End Poverty campaign. " Read more here: https://williamtemplefoundation.org.uk/lets-end-poverty/

Urban Expression Coordinator Vacancies

In 2022 Urban Expression celebrated 25 years of mission on the margins. Much has changed in 25 years and there are fresh questions, opportunities and challenges for us to face as a missional community/network as we immerse ourselves in neighbourhoods struggling against deprivation across the UK. We are now based in an ever-growing number of places: from Cornwall to Glasgow, and Belfast to Hull, Urban Expression mission partners are living out the values of humility, creativity and relationship. To support the grassroots work of our mission partners, we want to expand the team of coordinators and appoint two new coordinators to connect with mission partners:

in the North of England

and in London and the Southeast of England.

We would love to receive applications for these posts from people who are located in these areas, because context is important and living in the regions where mission partners are located is key to understanding the work that mission partners are engaged in.

Please follow the links for more information on the job description, person specification and how to apply. If you have any questions please contact admin@urbanexpression.org.uk.

The closing date for applications is 26th November 2023.
