One day we hope to get a similar post running in Lancashire......
Together Liverpool and the Centre for Contextual Theology are looking for a dynamic and effective Merseyside Co-ordinator for the Church Credit Champions Network.
The Network aims to harness the resources of local churches to increase access to responsible credit and savings in their communities through support for community finance providers like credit unions. The Network has the active support of the Archbishop of Canterbury's Task Group on Responsible Credit and Savings and is at the cutting edge of the Church's response to exploitative lending initiated by Archbishop Justin in the summer of 2013.
The new Co-ordinator will work as part of the Church Credit Champions Network team, with primary responsibility for promoting and delivering the pilot activities of the Network in Merseyside. This will include helping churches engage with issues of money, credit and debt in their community, identifying and training a diverse and dynamic group of leaders, and helping them to turn goodwill and energy into tangible action which benefits community finance providers.
This is a fixed-term two year post and full details can be found on the Diocese of Liverpool website. Closing date for applications is 3 October 2014. Please pass on to anyone you think will be interested.
