About Us
The William Temple Foundation is an innovative and ground-breaking research and ideas hub, shaping debate on religion in public life. Founded in 1947, it seeks to connect Christian social concerns to the realities of the secular world by generating ideas about the impact of religion on civil society, wellbeing, politics and economics, and urban change.
The Foundation currently has 20 Trustees, Associate Research Fellows, and William Temple Scholars.
Under the direction of Professor Chris Baker, the post-holder will be able to work remotely but would be expected to be available for regular meetings and the Annual Lecture.
About You
We are seeking self-motivated candidates with knowledge and experience of managing WordPress CMS websites and social media channels, primarily Facebook and Twitter. A good understanding of current debates and issues in religion and belief is also essential, ideally supported by postgraduate experience in this field.
