The NCIs provide national level support for the work of the Church of England
The NCIs provide national level support for the work of the Church of England.
The National Church Institutions (NCIs) undertake work to support the mission and ministries of the Church of England (www.churchofengland.org). There are seven NCIs, which are separate legal entities but a common employer:
With many roles based at Church House Westminster, the NCIs provide an astonishing diversity of expertise, advice, guidance and services to the whole Church, supporting Church leaders in their national roles and enabling the work of the dioceses and Cathedrals. We also look after of the Church’s historic legacy, ensuring that these funds are used wisely to contribute to the future of the Church.

Our Values
Our Values are at the heart of everything that we do:
-
Excellence: we take pride in doing a good job
-
Integrity: we are trustworthy
-
Respect: We treat everyone with dignity
Our aim is for everyone in the NCIs to feel that they belong, and are valued for who they are and what they contribute.
We have put in place a Belonging & Inclusion Strategy to help us to bring maximum creativity and diverse problem-solving perspectives to bear on the challenges facing the Church of England. And of course, we know that ensuring that everyone has a fair chance and can flourish at work is simply the right thing to do.
Together, our people contribute in different ways towards our common purpose, whichever NCI they work in and whatever their background.
The key themes of our Belonging and Inclusion Strategy and Action Plan are:
-
Mentoring and learning: people come together across the NCIs in mentoring relationships that provide learning and development for all participants and enable mutual understanding, empathy and exchange of different viewpoints.
-
Leading and signalling: people see that leaders are accountable for promoting and maintaining our commitment to treat each other with respect.
-
Generous Behaviours: our behaviours towards each other fully reflect our existing staff Values of Excellence, Integrity and Respect and our purpose to serve the mission and ministry of the Church of England.
-
Celebrating and Storytelling: people in the NCIs feel welcomed when they join us and experience a vibrant and varied NCI life that celebrates what we have in common and honours our differences.
We are committed to being an equal opportunities employer and to ensuring that everyone, job applicants, customers and other people with whom we deal, are treated fairly and not subject to discrimination. We will do whatever is necessary to provide genuine equality of opportunity. We continuously review our policies and processes to support our aim to create a workforce as diverse as the nation the Church of England serves.
