Head of Operations

Play a key role in shaping the future of The Beacon Church.

As we grow, so does the complexity of making church happen well. We’re looking for an experienced, capable and people-focused Head of Operations to join our senior leadership team and help create the systems, structures and culture that will enable the church to thrive.

 Role and Responsibilities

As Head of Operations, you will oversee the day-to-day operational and administrative life of the church, leading the Operations Team and working closely with the Senior Pastor, ministry leaders, staff and volunteers.

You will bring clarity to complexity, structure to growth and excellence to execution.

 Your responsibilities will span a broad range of areas, including:

·     Strategic & operational leadership – developing scalable systems and processes that support church growth, leading projects and events, and helping turn the church’s vision into practical plans.

·     Venues & logistics – overseeing weekly services, events, venue arrangements, logistics and contracts, while helping us plan for larger venues, multiple services and ultimately a permanent facility.

·     Facilities – overseeing the maintenance, improvement and effective use of church buildings and grounds.

·     Finance – working alongside the finance team and trustees on budgeting, forecasting, financial reporting and maintaining healthy financial systems.

·     People & volunteers – overseeing staff recruitment, onboarding and development, and building systems and teams that enable volunteers to serve effectively.

·     Risk & compliance – ensuring appropriate systems are in place across safeguarding, health and safety, GDPR, charity regulations and wider operational risk.

·     Technology & systems – ensuring our IT, databases, software and communication systems are effective, secure and fit for purpose.

You’ll be working across almost every aspect of church life, helping our ministry teams focus on what they do best because the operational foundations around them are strong.

More than just operations

We’re looking for someone who understands that church operations isn't simply about processes, policies and spreadsheets. It’s about creating the environment in which ministry can flourish.

The right person will enjoy bringing order to complexity, improving the way things work and helping leaders and teams succeed. They’ll be comfortable asking good questions, challenging when necessary and finding practical ways forward.

You’ll be joining a church that is growing and entering an exciting season of change. That means there will be plenty to build, improve and develop — from our systems and teams to our venues and long-term facilities strategy.

If you love making things work, enabling people to thrive and turning vision into reality, we’d love to hear from you.

Ideally it’s a full-time role, but if you are only available part-time, please do apply.
