Acorn Christian Healing Foundation is a National Network of Healing Hubs, founded in 1983 by Bishop Morris Maddocks (then the Archbishop’s Advisor in Health and Healing) to resource the work of healing in the Anglican Church and ecumenically, and as a ministry to the wider community.

JOB SUMMARY

Director of Ministry

To lead the ministry of Acorn. Providing primary oversight and collaborative leadership with the DoO for staff, Hub Coordinators, and prayer volunteers; leading the educational aspects of Acorn; networking with other relevant organisations; and being the front-facing representative of Acorn at the national level.

Though Acorn is primarily a UK-focused ministry, there have been some opportunities for international expansion, and we would welcome a Director with the passion and connections to further our reach.

The role also includes some focus on development to secure the resources and connections to make Acorn’s visions a reality, alongside creatively pursuing new opportunities.

The post is currently offered as a part-time role (3 to 4 days/week), perhaps fitting well alongside a part-time church or study role; but our hope is for this become a full-time post (funding dependent). We are actively working to increase our donor support to make this possible. While some aspects of the work schedule are flexible, others are fixed, including our monthly Healing Academy training. We are looking for someone keen to make a long-term investment (+/- 10 years), giving shape to the exciting new season of expansion into which we are entering.
