Diocese of Rupert’s Land News Editor
Diocese of Rupert’s Land, Anglican Church of Canada www.rupertsland.ca
We are part of an international faith community bound together through sacramental worship, proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ and responding compassionately to the world around us. The Anglican Diocese of Rupert’s Land encompasses 70 Anglican parishes in southern Manitoba and northwestern Ontario. Our Diocesan staff, located in Winnipeg, supports and serves the clergy, lay leaders and members of our parishes and liaises with the staff of the national office of the Anglican Church of Canada.
Our Opportunity
To invite to our Diocesan leadership team an experienced Editor to provide specialized communications services for the Diocese of Rupert’s Land and specifically for the Diocese of Rupert’s Land News (RLN). The RLN publishes a monthly online magazine ten times a year and weekly online updates. In addition, you will manage the Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts associated with our news. Working with the Advisory Board, you will create themes for each issue and then seek out authors to write to those themes. You will work with an external designer to prepare and publish the material in an online magazine format. You are a self-starter, prepared to work independently and from home/remotely. The RLN Editor reports to the Publisher of the RLN (the Bishop of the Diocese). In summary, the key responsibilities include: soliciting and editing articles and news items, publishing and distributing online magazine and maintaining social media sites. The present opportunity is a 20 hours per week part-time role. However, in collaboration with the Publisher and Advisory Board there may be opportunities for the successful candidate to bring the design work “in-house” which with additional Diocesan design responsibilities could expand the role to a full-time position.
