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. The National Church has agreed to partner with us around this through their Diocesan Investment Programme enabling us to have the time, and resource, to tackle this head on. 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. We have recently recruited a new Head of Generosity, who is also Bishops Advisor for Common Fund, to lead on this work and we are now looking to recruit the team to work with them. The focus of the team is to develop long term relationships with all of our parishes leading to: Greater support for our parishes. Increased generosity by, and within, our parishes. Increased Common Fund. The current plan is to recruit two Giving & Generosity Advisor roles and one Giving & Generosity Support Officer role. Together this team will work with all of our parishes to roll out our financial approach, through in person meetings, and the support that is on offer as part of this. JOB DESCRIPTION The primary focus of this role is to work with parishes to: Understand their current financial situation and how this links to the wider Church of England Birmingham situation.

It is the Head of Generosity and two Giving & Generosity Advisors who will be carrying out the in-person meetings with each parish. These roles will work closely with a range of people and teams across Church of England Birmingham so that this work is integrated within our wider strategy and parishes are not confused by multiple disjointed initiatives. This will mean working with Archdeacons and Area Deans, Mission Support Team, Ministry Team, Property Team, Finance Team, Community Regeneration Team and Communications Team as well as others.

Trade Mark Paralegal/Administrator London £25,000 - £45,000 per annum, dependant on experience (consideration will also be made to very experienced candidates who could become a 'Stobbs qualified' paralegal quickly) Permanent, Full Time Closing Date: 10 April 2026 It's an exciting time to join us! We are looking for a Trade Mark Paralegal / Administrator to be involved in the day-to-day activities of our team dedicated to protecting trade marks in more 'hard to reach' jurisdictions and handling large recordal projects. We manage many rights worldwide, and you will be dealing with Registries or associates in a diverse range of countries in what many would regard as niche regions. The role would suit someone that enjoys the international nature of trade marks and intellectual property. The ability to work autonomously and part of a team, whether that's the specialist team or the fee earning teams with ultimate client responsibility, is also important. Stobbs have bespoke systems to help them manage IP rights and so an aptitude for databases / case management systems is a must, as well as general IT skills (e.g. Word and Excel). Experience of commercial databases would be useful. Trade mark formalities and recordals isn't for everyone. It's volume based, deadline heavy and requires good organisation. Further Key Responsibilities: Administration tasks around trade mark applications, filing and prosecution and recordals: new cases; instructions; supporting documents; monitoring for client documents/information and progress and Certificates; records processing. Billing responsibilities Cover the other team members when they are absent or when one may be particularly busy. Supporting our renewals team with renewals in certain jurisdictions Essential skills and experience We are ideally looking for someone with some experience in the trade marks field, particularly someone that enjoys "foreigns" as overseas trade marks can often be fondly referred to. Nevertheless, we have an open mind to others with an administrative background. Those used to working with databases and case management systems may find that they have transferable skills. We may also consider entry level candidates such as recent graduates or college leavers. You should be comfortable working in a client facing role so accurate written and verbal English language skills are critical. You will enjoy, or be looking for, direct client contact. While the vast majority of our work is conducted in English, foreign language skills can be advantageous. Firm culture is important at Stobbs - friendly, social, approachable and where we look after each other. We regularly provide our own social and professional events. We manage the rights of some fantastic clients - obviously that means our advice has to be legally sound, but it's also about it being business savvy. We have high standards but learn from our mistakes. We're not internally competitive (well, except when it comes to sports and quizzes!). We're certainly not run with an iron fist; we want our people to bring their whole selves to work, wanting to perform well, learn from mistakes and to feel comfortable asking questions and learning, and helping us continue to improve and be the best we can be. Our head office is north of Cambridge, with an office in central London. We are trying to strike a good balance of supporting people to work flexibly while delivering for our clients and making Stobbs an attractive place to work. Our current hybrid working policy is a minimum requirement of two days in the office, encouraging people in more if possible. We may expect you to be based in the office full-time during the first six-months. Those seeking a part-time role may also be considered. The company Stobbs is a niche intellectual property practice that recognises that to give the best advice on brands, you need to take a more strategic and holistic approach than pure trade mark expertise. To that end, we launched the concept of Intangible Asset Management. We have a breadth of capability that goes far beyond the scope of any other IP firm and encompasses trade marks, designs and copyright, litigation, disputes, commercial contracts, brand intelligence, brand extension (licensing), systems, online brand enforcement, anti-counterfeiting and brand restructuring. Formed in 2013 with 18 people, today we have over 200 professionals based in Cambridge, London, Dublin, Eindhoven, Munich and Charlotte.
