Tollington Parish is a lively Anglican church in Islington. They are setting up an innovative social enterprise to manage their three church sites and hire out the spaces within these to the community. The project will serve the local community and generate income and missional opportunities for the Parish. Their ambition is to expand the project to offer the service to other churches in north London.
They are looking for a Project Director to set up this project, get it running and make a success of it – providing a service which is professional, missional and enterprising. If the Project can achieve financial sustainability within the first 12-18 months their intention is to extend the Project and possibly to expand its services to other churches. The Project Director will manage a small team of staff and volunteers, be accountable to a Project Board and will work collaboratively with them to achieve these outcomes.
The ideal candidate for this role will:
- have practical experience of managing properties;
- be enterprising and able to market and sell, including through social media;
- have a passion for good customer service and high quality service delivery;
- be a confident, organised and experienced manager of people and budgets;
- share their vision for local churches growing and serving their communities.
This is full-time post, with a salary of £27,000-30,000.
