Development Manager
Our new Development Manager will have particular responsibility for the development of new offerings, new communities and networks and new income streams, alongside sustaining the current activities of Launde.

This role is open to lay or ordained applicants. The role is for 30 hours a week (0.8 FTE) with the basic working pattern negotiable over 4 full or 5 shorter days per week. The Development Manager works onsite but is not resident at Launde.
