This position is responsible for handling supplier invoicing, payments, and reconciling supplier statements to ensure accuracy and compliance.

Key responsibilities...

• To develop and deliver a strategic marketing plan for the next five years, and implement promotional activity to raise significantly the Abbey’s profile both regionally and nationally.
• To identify and market an annual programme of events and major installations which engage our town and region, driving footfall and engagement and delivering an excellent visitor experience.
• To lead an effective and motivated Marketing and Commercial Team, with the aim of doubling visitor numbers and commercial income within five years.

Message from the Vicar…

For over 900 years Tewkesbury Abbey has been at the heart of the community - as a place of gathering, worship, celebration and remembrance.  Down the centuries we have been a Benedictine Abbey, a parish church and a place of refuge in times of flood and war.

Today the Abbey is a thriving parish church with hundreds coming here to worship each week, drawn by our commitment to daily prayer and our traditional choral worship. We are a ‘Major Church’ within the Church of England, and we are larger than fourteen of our country’s cathedrals. We are also a venue for concerts, large civic events, fairs and festivals working in partnership with colleagues throughout the region, the Roses Theatre, Tewkesbury Cultural Consortium and Gloucester Cathedral.

Like many heritage assets within the UK, COVID and lockdown presented us with serious challenges to our financial sustainability. We are now responding to those challenges with ambitious plans to double our visitor income and numbers within five years. These plans have been agreed and funded by our Parochial Church Council and are being overseen by our trading arm Tewkesbury Abbey Limited.

We applied for and won a £250,000 grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, which will among other projects increase our marketing activity and visitor engagement, including the appointment of a marketing assistant, a volunteers officer and a project manager to oversee the scoping of future capital development plans, and testing activities such as entry by donation.  We hope that this will lead to one or more larger-scale capital bids which could lead to a longer-term funding relationship to secure the Abbey as a thriving venue, unique heritage asset and global visitor destination.

In the past year we have hosted Luke Jerram’s ‘Gaia’ installation which was visited by over 20,000 people from across the region, the Luxmuralis immersive projection ‘Space’ and ‘The Longest Yarn’, a commemorative exhibition of knitted D-Day history, followed by Peter Walker’s ‘Peace Doves’ installation.  Alongside these we also hosted environmental events, a schools programme, concerts and talks in addition to our core business of of worship and festive services.

As Head of Marketing you will play a key role in shaping and delivering the future plans and development of the Abbey.  You will be in at the start and will oversee the growth of your team as we deliver on these plans - a unique opportunity for a creative marketing professional. The successful candidate will be a flexible team player who is looking for an exciting new challenge encompassing marketing, events, hospitality and commercial services and the opportunity to shape the next chapter in the life of the Abbey.

Our Mission

We're Tutors United. We're on a mission to end the attainment and employability gap through the power of community-based tutoring. We support young people to thrive at two key transition points – from primary to secondary school, and from university to employment.

What We Do

Working with housing associations and other local partners, we run free tutoring programmes for primary school children and their families, providing access to vital educational support to those who need it most. We're proud to serve diverse, low-income, refugee, migrant, and multilingual communities across London, the Midlands, and the North West. We hire, train, and pay inspiring university students – most of whom also come from low-income households – as tutors, providing them with meaningful, paid work experience and wider support to boost their careers.

Each year, our work gives hundreds of young people, parents and carers the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to maximise education and employment opportunities. Now, we’re looking for an ambitious, highly organised and proactive person to join us as our new Finance and Governance Officer!

Job Purpose

This is an exciting time to join our small and impactful team, as we embark on a new four-year strategy. To meet our ambitious growth goals while sustaining strong core operations and compliance with charity and company regulations, we need to increase support for the CEO and Senior Management Team (SMT) and bolster our financial and governance capacity. This role is critical to achieving our strategic objectives to reach more young people than ever before, sustain the quality and impact of our programmes as we grow, diversify our funding and partnerships, and strengthen TU’s operations, so all staff can thrive as we scale-up delivery of tuition hubs across existing and new areas.

The Finance and Governance Officer will work closely with the CEO and COO to ensure the smooth running of TU, acting as the “glue” for the wider team and managing the day-to-day financial, governance and operational processes that are critical to high-quality delivery, compliance and impact.

The Finance and Governance Officer will provide robust and timely financial management support to the CEO, to ensure income is received and expenditure processed in line with our budgets. You will be responsible for processing incoming and outgoing payments within our bank and accountancy software, ensuring good records are kept, and liaising closely with our external accountants to deliver monthly accounts. You will support the CEO to tighten up our financial oversight, processes and compliance. You’ll also play a critical role in making sure our brilliant tutors and classroom assistants are paid each month, working with the wider team.

With an ambitious new strategy and an increased Board of trustees, a core aspect of this role will be to coordinate excellent governance support, to facilitate strong non-executive leadership and challenge as we grow. This role will be an advocate for governance and performance monitoring within TU, ensuring the team contributes to Board papers and KPIs, and supporting the CEO to meet governance deadlines. You will also pitch in with frontline programme delivery at pinch points during the year - such as helping with daily lesson support from 4-6pm, helping with our annual graduation event, or monitoring incoming enquiries.

We are looking for a proactive and conscientious individual who is prepared to challenge themselves and their colleagues. You will need to be solutions orientated, creative and comfortable communicating with people both internally and externally. If you are passionate about the development of young people, processes and performance, and want to see your ideas and skills come to life and underpin our growth strategy, you’ll love it here!

Equipment Service – Further Information:

The aim of the Equipment Service is to make sure that clients get the equipment they need and are confident in using it.  We support clients to be independent by helping to remove some of the barriers they face because of their hearing loss.

The Deaf Equipment Service is contracted to CfD by Bristol City Council. CfD has run the Equipment Service for Deaf and hard of hearing people for over 10 years. Our Equipment Officers make pre-arranged visits to the homes of Deaf, deafblind and hard of hearing people within the city of Bristol. We carry out assessments to find out what clients need and then supply the equipment (usually free of charge), provide training so clients know how to use it and support clients if they need repairs or replacement equipment. Every year we work with around 400 clients. The equipment we supply includes TV listening devices, flashing doorbells, amplified telephones and personal listeners. We are developing an outreach programme to try and reach as many deaf people in Bristol as we can.

As the Manager of the Equipment Service, your main tasks will be:

1. Manage, maintain, and improve the Equipment Service to make sure all KPIs are met.

2. Manage the Equipment Service budget and make sure all activities are delivered within budget.

3. Manage the two part-time Equipment Officers and the two CfD Administrators, including conducting supervisions, and chairing team meetings.

4. Develop and implement the marketing strategy for the Equipment Service so that the service expands to meet our new targets.

5. Support the administrators to monitor the Equipment Service email inbox, responding promptly to all customer related queries. 

6. Keep records using CfD’s Charitylog database, electronic files and some paper records.

7. Produce regular reports and statistics on work done.

8. Develop the Equipment Service by:

a. Exploring how workshops on hearing loss can be used to support hard of hearing people.

b. Developing peer-support as a way of promoting the wellbeing of hard of hearing people.

9. Review and improve the administrative systems e.g. electronic and paper filing systems, data collection, record management.  

10. Greet visitors to the resource centre and provide demonstrations of a selection of assistive technology.

11. Work with the Equipment Service Team to provide content for the organisation’s website and social media presence relevant to the Equipment Service, including the sharing of stories and information.

12. Lead on reviewing and improving the Equipment Service website.

Citizens UK 

 Citizens UK is the UK’s biggest, most diverse and most effective people-powered alliance. We bring communities and local organisations together to work on issues that matter; from campaigning for zebra crossings on dangerous roads, to reforming the immigration system, to the Living Wage campaign. We have a track record of winning change through hundreds of local and national campaigns. We know everyday people have the ability to shape the world around them. We believe that through developing local leaders, we can drive nationwide change and create community-led solutions to big and small problems.

Community Organising 

Through our theory of social change, called community organising, we train thousands of everyday people to lead change in their communities, equipping them with the skills to hold politicians and other powerholders to account. We are made up of 500+ member organisations in powerful alliances throughout the UK. Our members include schools, universities, faith groups, parents’ groups, health practices, charities, trade unions and other civil society organisations. 

Purpose 

At Citizens UK, our organisers and project staff work within communities to develop leaders, strengthen organisations, campaign for change and organise across difference.

More information about how we operate within this context and build trusted relationships across difference can be found on our website and is covered in induction.
