We are seeking a faith filled, people focussed senior leader offering operational management which includes oversight of our Support Services Hub and staff team and developing commercial enterprise, to contribute to our financial resilience and resource mission. The Operations Manager will work closely with the Team Rector in developing and implementing the strategy, systems and capacity to enable the parish and its churches and worshipping communities to be effective in fulfilling the parish vision and priorities. The purpose of the role is to provide strategic oversight and efficient management of the operational, administrative, financial, HR, safeguarding and property functions of the parish. The role includes day to day management of the Support Services Hub and staff team who are at the forefront of support for operations and enterprise. In terms of enterprise, your role will be to develop and implement an entrepreneurial approach to income generation and financial sustainability. This might focus on our use of buildings, the development of other innovative commercial enterprise and developing and implementing other fundraising strategies (including grant applications). We already hire out many of our buildings, yet we recognise that our buildings and grounds, could be used more innovatively and are seeking somebody who will bring innovation to our thinking and enable our assets to be stewarded more effectively. We are committed to working with the Operations Manager in support of these strategies. In all elements of the role, you will be expected to provide operational excellence in line with best practices and agreed protocols, promote a positive work culture that encourages growth and development. We are excited by the potential of this key appointment within COHL, the scope of the work and the opportunities we believe it will unlock. This is a developing role, that will be shaped by the postholder working with the Team Rector and others, and as such may be subject to change as new initiatives emerge and develop over time. We believe in a generous God, from whom all things come, and He invites us to steward these gifts well. If this is your conviction and you have the experience and skills, we d love to hear from you.
