Hours: Full time (37.5 hours per week)
Salary: £45,000-50,000
Closing date: 17th March 2025
Role:
We are looking for a confident, experienced, grounded Christian leader who understands that Administration/ Operations is a key ministry in the church, and who can navigate the intricacies of church life with the right balance of excellent communication, influencing skills, diplomacy, and assertiveness.
We see operational oversight and administration generally as key ministry in the life of the church and the right candidate is likely to see this as a spiritual act of service as well as a job to be done capably and well. As in Acts 6:3 this is a role for someone ‘well respected, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom’.
This role oversees the operational management of Christ Church W4 (CCW4); ensuring structures and systems are effective and fit for purpose, and that resources – both human and physical - are mobilised and stewarded well to advance the mission of the Church.
KEY AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY
• To serve on the Leadership Team, and to work collaboratively with the Vicar, other ministry leaders, the Trustee Board (PCC) and its sub-committees, and the Development Group for St Alban’s - helping CCW4 to thrive and fulfil its vision.
• To take a lead in the management and care of the operations staff, helping to develop, promote and champion a healthy staff culture and a cohesive sense of team.
• To provide strategic direction, implementation and tactical support for all church operations, administration, and ad hoc projects, facilitating the necessary leadership and staff planning discussion.
• To be responsible for the management of the church’s resources of buildings, people, IT & systems, and finances.
• To develop existing and new income streams for CCW4, ensuring ongoing financial health and growth of development funds to support current and new mission opportunities.
• To continually develop effective, efficient, and flexible administrative processes, and robust and appropriate structures for leadership, management, and governance (including statutory compliance).

About the church:
OUR VISION:
Our ‘Welcome Home’ vision statement reflects our desire to help call people back into God’s loving embrace:
Welcome Home: We exist to welcome each other home into God’s radical, life changing, saving love. To worship and enjoy God; being shaped, revived, challenged and nurtured. To be sent out joining God in great creative adventures which renew all things and call each other home.
We want to see local people confident that they are loved, accepted, and valued by the living God their Father – and know that for many that will take a series of life changing encounters with Christ and his people.. This journey often begins with an encounter with our Operations Team - be it an email or phone enquiry, a room booking, or a visit to one of the many events we host in our buildings - from Anonymous groups to our Repair Cafe or toddler groups. How this team represents the church and our God-given mission makes all the difference to these pilgrimages into the freedom that comes from being welcomed home by Christ to our heavenly Father.
We want to enable all our people to be part of a prophetic movement of disciples making disciples, joining God in transforming Chiswick, London, and the World. As our values outline we do this as Bible based, Spirit-filled people who are loved by the Father and called by the Son. We try to be realistic, humble, heading for wholeness and we love a good party! (Read more about our vision and the values here: https://www.christchurchw4.com/aboutus).
If you read this and find it resonates with you and know that you’re up for a challenge in a senior leadership role, we would be delighted to hear from you. Come and help shape a movement and find purpose as you do so.
