Job Opportunity
We have vacancy for a Finance Officer
Introduction
St Mary Redcliffe is an iconic church building of European significance, offering thousands of visitors a friendly welcome: our future plans will substantially increase the numbers of visitors, transform the experience on offer and provide level access to the majority of the site. However, St Mary Redcliffe (‘SMR’) is also an inclusive church with a growing and diverse congregation. It is a parish church serving a highly diverse area where urban deprivation sits alongside warehouse conversions and regional offices of international companies. Our plans to develop will substantially increase income from visitors and events, transforming our funding model so that we can be more strategic in our engagement with the parish. Read more about the plans here.
Over the last few years, SMR has developed an understanding of its mission and purpose as “Singing the song of faith and justice”. We see this rolling out in four key themes: “as a thriving inclusive Christian community; as a recognised, welcoming heritage destination; as a church that makes a difference in the parish and beyond; all animated by a progressive and sustainable organisation.” We acknowledge that these themes are both ‘now’ and ‘not yet’: both accurate in what we are today and a challenge that we can do better tomorrow. We are developing an organisation that will be ready take over our new facilities in the years to come.
The Finance Officer will undertake a new role here at St Mary Redcliffe. The post-holder will join the Operations team which sits within the wider staff team. The post-holder will be enthusiastic about supporting the changing dynamic of an organisation through comprehensive management of financial processing. We are looking for someone who understands the journey we are on as a parish church, and who is enthusiastic about having a significant part to play.
