Digital Resources Officer

Main Purpose and Scope of the Post

This exciting part-time role will support the work of the Making Disciples team, one of the four key strands of Blackburn Diocese’s Vision 2026: healthy churches transforming communities. The team’s mission is to help churches across the diocese form and grow deeply committed disciples of Jesus Christ who confidently live out their faith in everyday life.

A key focus of this role will be supporting the development and delivery of engaging and meaningful discipleship resources for Fruitful, our diocesan discipleship app. You will work collaboratively with paid staff and volunteers to produce digital content that encourages individuals and churches to follow Jesus.

The role involves bringing creativity and innovation to how discipleship content is presented—experimenting with fresh formats, storytelling techniques, and interactive experiences that connect with a wide range of audiences. You will also contribute to crafting engaging digital pathways (such as social media teasers or attention-grabbing posts) that guide users toward the app’s more in-depth discipleship materials.

You should be confident in suggesting and trialling new digital approaches that enhance our existing communications, with a focus on supporting spiritual growth and connection across the diocese.
