BACKGROUND Church of England Birmingham (CofEB) is on a journey of growing churches at the heart of every community . Through this we are seeing growth in many exciting ways. Financially we are at a challenging point. We have had an operational deficit for a number of years and this cannot continue. There are current conversations happening with the National Church around how we get to a sustainable platform through partnership. One key aspect of this is for us to increase our Common Fund returns (the giving from our parishes that supports the costs of our life together). We are taking a radical new approach to our finances which includes intentional reallocation of income to support the costs in our most economically deprived parishes and deeper relationships with each parish around finance through conversation rather than correspondence. Over the next five years we are hoping to be able to move to a financially sustainable platform which will enable us to better serve our communities in the future.

Their experience has proven invaluable to people in roles similar to this, building on best practice and learning from others across 41 Dioceses. The role will have the following key responsibilities: Support in the recruitment and the establishment of the Generosity Team. Manage the day-to-day operations of the members of the Generosity Team.
