The West Midlands Racial Justice Initiative (WMRJI) is a collaboration across the Church of
England Dioceses of Birmingham, Coventry, Gloucester, Hereford, Lichfield, and Worcester. It was
formed in response to the 2020 report From Lament to Action, as a bold, regional collaboration
committed to dismantling systemic racism and building lasting equity across Church structures.
The WMJRI has now secured funding from the Church of England’s Racial Justice Unit for an
inspiring programme to dismantle systemic racism, ensuring that every individual, regardless of race
or background, belongs, thrives, and experiences the love of God.
The WMRJI has created a board and a strategy, and is now looking for a Director, to lead this
pioneering initiative and oversee the delivery of the programme. The Director will work across all the
Dioceses to shape and implement the strategy, collaborating with local initiatives, to create a Church
which is a spiritual home for all.
The role calls for maturity, emotional intelligence, an ability move been strategic understanding and
operationalising delivery, and the ability to work collaboratively with a board, and a wide range of
stakeholders.
This is an exciting opportunity to make a difference across a wide range of communities. If this could
be you do get in touch for a discussion.
