CAP celebrates the value of diversity and our aim is for our workforce to be as inclusive as possible as well as representing the communities we serve. With this in mind, we welcome and encourage job applications from people of all backgrounds. We particularly welcome applications from candidates from black and ethnic minority backgrounds. We are committed to continue building an environment that embraces diversity and includes all.

Partnership Development Managers (PDM) are motivated and driven to broaden and deepen CAP's relationship with the church to fulfil CAPs Purpose, Vision & Mission.

Our mission is to see an end to UK poverty by equipping churches to take their place at the forefront of this response. CAP partners with churches to provide a structured, sustainable and community-rooted approach to addressing poverty including debt, one of its most acute and visible expressions. Through professional services and long‑term relational support, we support churches to walk alongside those experiencing financial hardship and vulnerability in a way that is compassionate and grounded in Christian conviction.

In Northern Ireland, where church engagement is strong, the opportunity for CAP and the wider Church to see lives transformed and communities strengthened is significant. The task is to deepen and embed the Church’s mandate to express faith through action, ensuring that responding to poverty is recognised as central to Christian mission. CAP exists to help make that mandate clear, compelling and practical.

Through strong partnerships, we seek to see churches equipped and increasingly confident in addressing poverty as a central expression of their faith and mission, ensuring that no one faces poverty or financial hardship alone.

Purpose of the Role

The partnership development manager (PDM) will play a pivotal role in supporting the National Leader in equipping and mobilising churches across Northern Ireland to engage fully with poverty as an integral expression of Christian mission. This role exists to advance CAPs wider vision of ending UK poverty by ensuring churches understand, embrace and act on their mandate to serve their communities.

The PDM will be responsible for developing strong, sustainable partnerships with churches and denominational networks, translating CAP’s model into practical action at a local level. They will work closely with the Head of Movement Development and NI National Leader to shape and communicate the narrative of CAP’s work, demonstrating how churches can respond to poverty holistically, with practical support, relational care and faith in action.

Success in this role will be measured by the growth and sustainability of church partnerships, the establishment of new services in communities of need and the extent to which churches are equipped and confident in taking an active role in alleviating poverty and its effects.

We are driven by a passion to see people not only achieve financial freedom and thrive in life, but also become followers of Jesus and find a true sense of belonging within a local church community.
