Do you believe that the church and communities have a big part to play in ending modern slavery?

Would you like to join a dynamic charity, who are working to ensure people and communities thrive and flourish?

Background: The Mothers’ Union in the Diocese of Lichfield (MU) is sponsoring TCT to deploy a Modern Slavery Campaigner. This three year part-time post will deliver a campaign against Modern Slavery in parishes across the Diocese of Lichfield using awareness raising material developed in conjunction with the Clewer Initiative.

Local MU branches will work with their local clergy to host events, and/or to arrange for the campaigner to deliver a training session, talk or sermon on Modern Slavery. The campaigner will help the local church as it connects with other local groups addressing different aspects of Modern Slavery, for example in connecting with schools and local businesses. Everyone can contribute to work against Modern Slavery, through prayer, raising awareness, reporting suspicious activity, supporting groups already working with victims, and becoming practically involved.

PLEASE NOTE: The Campaigner will be expected to lead prayers and talk to Mother’s Union branches and preach in the churches of the Diocese of Lichfield. Hence it is a genuine occupational requirement for the post-holder to be a practising Christian. The work will necessitate travelling to site across the Diocese of Lichfield. It will also include some evening work, and church attendance on several Sundays.
