Pioneer Project - Operations Director

This is an exciting opportunity to join our Pioneering Project, as we develop pathways to faith on the Roundshaw Estate.

With significant grant investment from the Church of England, we are now setting up a Pioneering Project to develop these pathways, with new innovative spaces being added along the way.  We will then train and support other Estate partner churches across the Southwark Diocese to try out our approach, contextualising our models of mission to their communities if appropriate. This is a really exciting project that will make a huge positive difference to individuals and communities. As such, we are looking for an experienced Operations Director to manage this project and oversee the team that will be recruited. 

This role is vital to ensure we deliver on the agreed outcomes of the project over 5 years, which will involve:

We would love someone in this role to have a passion for Jesus, a drive to make our processes and systems as fruitful as possible, with the ability to nurture a joyful and motivated team. The team to be recruited includes a Children and Families Pioneer, a Media pioneer, and in 18 months will grow to include a Youth Pioneer, Music & Worship Pioneer and Pioneer Curate. The team will be part of the existing Springfield staff team overseen by their Pioneer Vicar.

There is a genuine occupational requirement that the post-holder be a practising Christian.

You will have significant experience of managing and delivering successful projects and enjoy juggling multiple elements with proactive problem-solving skills. You will have a good understanding of how to manage budgets.
