Making a difference by managing our buildings in pursuit of a vision: serving our church and serving the community, with maximum impact
We seek an organised and collaborative leader to own the management and maintenance of our recently-modernised buildings. As a church, we use them for worship, outreach and learning e.g. for Sunday services, a Romanian congregation, groups for adults with learning disabilities, LIFE groups and Alpha courses. We also use them in extensive community service e.g. Job Club, night shelter, conversation café, toddlers, holiday club and youth groups, all in pursuit of our vision, mission, and values. In addition, many organisations rent our premises, generating significant income.
You will interact effectively with building users, and lead staff and volunteers to ensure our operations run smoothly. You will be joining a highly-motivated team committed to making a difference in the lives of church members and the wider community.

Your role is to help us ensure more senior education leaders within schools, colleges and alternative provision settings use our Guidance, toolkit, research and implementation tools to inform day to day operations and strategic decision making.
We’re here to prevent children and young people becoming involved in violence. We do this by finding out what works and building a movement to put this knowledge into practice.
A big part of the movement that we need to build is in the world of education. We need to inspire and connect with education leaders across England and Wales to spread what works and make our country safer for some of our most vulnerable children. We are looking for someone to lead on making this happen.
Key responsibilities include:
Developing great relationships with senior leaders and other teaching staff, generating a strong understanding of key education issues, needs and behaviours, and building credibility and trust with the sector.
Creating practical tools and resources that help leaders put evidence into action.
Supporting the scoping and commissioning of behavioural insights research to support effective evidence mobilisation plans and strategies.
Managing new Catalyst Pilot programme grantees. The pilot will explore the impact of varying approaches to implementing practice change in secondary schools, colleges and Alternative Provision.
About you:
You understand the education sector. You really understand how schools, colleges and/or Alternative Provision settings tick. You have experience working in/with an education setting, ideally in a role that worked with young people who are vulnerable to or involved in violence. You might have previous experience of supporting a school to reflect on and adopt evidence-based practice.
You are fascinated about change and are experienced in making it happen. You have outstanding analytical judgment alongside the emotional intelligence and experience needed to identify the right opportunities for change, then make them happen. You understand why people find change difficult. You come alive talking about how people make decisions and why they do the things they do.
