Introduction
The Diocese of Liverpool is praying for more people to know Jesus and for those people to be on a discipleship journey that enables more people to be called in to the exciting and varied journeys that God has for them, so that there will continue to be more people being introduced to Jesus and more justice in our communities.

- Working with leaders in parishes, particularly through Larger Single Parishes within the Fit For Mission strategy to plan for ministry and leadership needs, helping to create resources, events and supporting local leaders in nurturing local vocation to a whole range of roles.
- Writing strategic policies to ensure the range of roles needed for ministry in the church of the future are organisationally agreed, safely recruited, supported and developed.
- Collaborating closely with team members and a variety people to ensure developments and processes are joined up and well communicated, using the skills of others to the full.
This is an exciting time to join a creative vocations team with wide experience in running vocational exploration courses and events, discernment processes, website management, e-communication skills, strong relationships across the diocese and unbeatable passion for enabling all of God’s people to respond and grow in God’s call in their life.
We have been embarking on the beginning of significant change in the diocese through the Fit for Mission programme https://liverpoolcofe.org/fitformission and will be working with significant whole system change in to the future. We welcome applications from people who are excited about change and the potential for the vocation of all God’s people who are willing to come and get stuck in with what needs doing whilst being flexible for the needs of the role and vocations team in to the future.
