Executive Programme Support & Information Officer

The role of Executive Programme Support & Information Officer enables insight into strategy, project and governance work supporting the Church of England's Vision and Strategy to 2030. It will be an opportunity to develop understanding of organisational dynamics - including business planning, financial reporting, performance monitoring and governance.
The Programme Officer (part of the wider Operations and Programme Office sub-team) oversees the twice-yearly NCI project portfolio review on behalf of the Archbishops' Council; coordinates development of the annual Vision and Strategy business plan, including quarterly tracking and reporting; conducts desk research and analysis to build insight; works with the Co-Directors of Vision and Strategy and colleagues to develop the annual team budget; manages payments for allocated workstreams; supports the delivery of Vision and Strategy projects and Emerging Church of England change programmes in the areas of programme office administration; support the delivery of Vision and Strategy meetings.
The National Church Institutions comprises a wide variety of teams, professions and functions that support the mission and ministries of the Church of England in its vision to be a church, centred on Jesus Christ, for the whole nation - a church that is simpler, humbler, bolder.
The Vision and Strategy team supports the whole Church in its embrace of and engagement with the national Vision and Strategy for the Church for the 2020. The three priorities of the strategy are to become younger and more diverse, a church of missionary disciples where a mixed ecology of many forms of church is normal. Its role is to support the whole church in engaging with and living out the emerging Vision and Strategy.
The team is the lead owner of the strategy within the National Church Institutions (NCIS), and therefore responsible for ensuring that the work of other teams within the NCIs is aligned to the strategy and helps ensure its delivery across the Church. The Vision and Strategy team consults on and manages the distribution of around £100 million per annum of national funding and helps the delivery of projects funded by previous grants. The team also supports the implementation of a number of complex change programmes.
