About this ebook
As a coach specialising in executive, leadership and career coaching many of my clients search me out because they have become aware of my experience within the humanitarian development sector and particularly within faith-based organisations.
This book seeks to provide some initial answers to three common questions that arise and which I can summarise like this:
Q: I am not a believer. Am I welcome in a faith-based organisation?
Q: What is it like to work in a faith-based organisation; what should I considerwhen applying?
Q: Career prospects in a faith-based organisation?
All of these questions are about faith-based organisations that operate in the humanitarian development sector. Naturally, the questions come up in slightly different ways but their essence is captured above.
To approach answers to these three questions we will explore the nature of faith-based organisations, the law as it applies to recruitment and selection, faith's intimate relationship with poverty and development, what it is like to work in a faith-based organisation, career prospects, education and training, vacancy sources and how to create your CV or resume to support digital applications.

Having a father who ran a shop selling model railways probably sealed the fate of John Evans as a railway enthusiast. Spending all his money - and rather too much of his time - amassing a collection of railway pictures, he fortunately stored them carefully away. 'My education was undertaken at Northampton engine shed,' he jokes. He now lives in West Yorkshire and still ventures regularly to the lineside.
