The Trustees are looking for an individual with proven track record of charitable governance experience and an interest in interfaith engagement from a personal Christian commitment.
The primary aim of the Centre is to equip Christians and people of other faiths and beliefs to live and work constructively and co-operatively in a multi faith society. It achieves this through the provision of a wide range of courses and events. Leading the way for this work in the country, the Centre has a growing regional, national and international reputation and works with a wide range of partners. These include faith-based bodies, central and local government and other statutory, charitable and voluntary organizations. It also works closely with the Diocese of Leicester, the Bishop of Leicester and ecumenical partners. Further information about the Centre, its Trustees, the Chair's main responsibilities and Person Specification can be found on the St Philip's Centre website .
