The Programme Development Lead will focus on adding further pathways and programmes to this portfolio and in the first two years could envisage focusing on a vocational or BTech equivalent pathway, a two-year learning community for leaders of larger churches, a young adult church planter programme, and developing our capacity to train micro church leaders. They will have a teaching role, develop curriculum for new programmes, but will primarily design and build appropriate programmes and pathways. The right candidate may also speak more widely as invited and with agreement with the Director. This is a 0.5 FTE role, but we hope to develop the scope where a full-time role, or additional part-time role, could be needed.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Programme & Pathway Development, Delivery and Review

• Lead the development of training pathways, including the design of programme structure, learning outcomes, content, and schedules.

• Identify, coordinate, and support suitable contributors, facilitators, and assessors.

• Oversee assessment design, processes, and student progression within the pathways. 

• Manage a portfolio of programmes to ensure they are effectively planned, executed, and deliver their desired impact.

• Develop and maintain programme and project documentation, including plans, budgets, and risk assessments.

• Evaluate programme and project progress, identify trends, and recommend solutions to ensure desired outcomes are met.

2. Partnership & Network Management

• Serve as a key point of relational contact with key denominational and stream leaders, supporting the movement from initial engagement and inspiration (often by the Director or Dean) to the development and implementation of tailored CCP training pathways.

• Build strong relationships with project leads and external partners, fostering confidence and collaboration. • Ensure good collaboration with colleagues within St Hild to ensure programmes fit within wider vision and values.

3. Teaching

• Offering teaching sessions, hosting and coaching to students.

• Bring a key area of expertise in church planting, develop new teaching and training resources.

• Teach and train within CCP programmes and, where appropriate, beyond CCP programmes.

• As appropriate and agreed, speak at external events or forums on topics related to church planting and multiplication.

• Be willing to develop your own expertise in church planting / leadership development to offer as an expert resource within and beyond CCP.

4. Be a full part of the St Hild staff team

• Contribute towards a healthy, prayerful and positive culture within St Hild College.

• Fully participate in the worshipping and praying life of the staff team.

• Availability as required, including evening and weekend work as appropriate.

• Attendance at staff meetings and lunches and annual staff residential.

• Additional roles to be agreed as appropriate.
