The post is subject to a six-month probationary period.
Newcastle Diocese seeks be a leading example in the way it conducts itself in the systematic treatment of all people. This is part of the diocesan response to world-wide events and acknowledging the challenges our sisters and brothers of UK Minority Ethnic / Global Majority Heritage (UKME/GMH) backgrounds have faced historically and still face currently on a daily basis.
As a diocese we are being called by God to turn outwards in mission and grow younger and more diverse: youthful in scope, mindful of the realities of our diverse contexts, and thinking beyond the congregations we see now. We have a vision to be seeking, sharing and sending. Seeking through being open to God’s transforming love; sharing through being generous with God’s transforming gifts; sending through being engaged in God’s transforming work in the world. It is our hope and prayer that this role takes an instrumental place in bringing about cultural, structural and strategic shifts to help us combat racism in the Diocese of Newcastle and our communities at large, and enables us to live out the Fourth Mark of Mission: To transform unjust structures of society, to challenge violence of every kind and pursue peace and reconciliation.
