CYO is currently seeking a new Director following the decision of the current Director, Tim Abbott, to step down. Closing Date for applications is Friday 13th May at 5pm.

Director – Christian Youth Outreach (CYO) Colchester

  • Full time – 37 hours a week
  • Location – Colchester, Essex
  • Salary – JNC 14 to JNC 16 (currently £26,437 to £28,001) depending on qualifications and experience.

This is an exciting opportunity to lead this well established Christian charity that serves schools and colleges across Colchester with projects that help young people grow in life, hope and faith.

You would be leading a staff team of six and a growing team of volunteers as well as partnering with local churches and youth leaders. Together you would be delivering chaplaincy, pastoral mentoring and a wide range of highly regarded spiritual and personal development projects in secondary schools and colleges across the Colchester area and also supporting local churches in their work with primary schools.

With a committed and capable team, a strong reputation and a faithful supporter base, we are looking for our next Director who will work with trustees to shape our strategic direction and lead the team forward to achieve our ambitions.

You will be a motivated and passionate leader with an enthusiasm for ensuring a compassionate Christian presence in our local schools and colleges.  With a vibrant Christian faith and experience of UK schools or youth work, you will demonstrate an ability to apply the teachings, values and practical outworking of the Christian faith in an educational setting.

In return we can offer you a unique opportunity to take our work forward and grow our influence and impact for the benefit of young people locally.

If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.

Please contact us by email to recruitment@cyocolchester.org.uk for an information pack, job description and person specification and for details about how to apply. Your enquiry will be handled by CYO trustees Gareth Mitchell and Lesley Walder who are managing the recruitment process.

You may also contact Gareth and Lesley at the above email address, or current Director Tim Abbott tim@cyocolchester.org.uk , if you would like an informal opportunity to discuss this post.

Closing Date for applications – Friday 13th May at 5pm.

Interviews will be conducted on Thursday 9th June 2022.

Looking to the future

After thirty one years with CYO Tim Abbott recently informed the Trustees that he would be leaving CYO at the end of this school year, believing that now is God’s time for a new Director to lead this work into the future.
We are extremely thankful and grateful for Tim’s many years of service and dedication to CYO and are confident that God will bless Tim as he lays down his leadership role here to take up new opportunities. During his time with CYO, Tim has built an organisation and team that has an excellent reputation and the demand for CYO’s work now significantly exceeds its capacity and resources.
As we look for Tim’s successor, we believe God will continue to bless the work, the CYO team, volunteers and supporters. Tim leaves CYO well positioned for the future and the demand has never been greater for the work that CYO does.
We are excited to see what God will do next so please pray with us as we move forward together.
