About The Role
All Souls is a vibrant church in the heart of London’s West End. Our congregation is large, diverse, and committed to following Jesus. Our campus is large too: four buildings around Fitzrovia and Marylebone, each with a unique blend of church ministry and venue hire. We’re seeking an Events and Venue Hire Coordinator who is both passionate about our church’s vision and can effectively run West One Spaces, our venue hire platform (for more information on West One Spaces, see our website here: https://westonespaces.com/).
The All Souls Church family is diverse as the global body of Christ is diverse and as London is diverse. Applications are welcome from people from ethnic groups which are a minority in the UK.
There is an occupational requirement that the job-holder is a Christian under Part 1 of Schedule 9 to the Equality Act 2010.
We are unable to sponsor work visa for this role.
All Souls is blessed with the resource of space. Our first priority is to fill that space with Christian ministry, but when this isn’t possible we wish to generate income from it. We are seeking a motivated Events and Venue Hire Coordinator who will help us turn empty rooms into revenue and contribute to the financial sustainability of the church’s future.
This individual will have freedom to develop and implement new ideas, collaborating with the larger Ministry Operations Team to effectively steward our campus. They will work closely with an energetic and diverse team and will have opportunities for growth and professional development. The eventual goal is for the role holder to manage most day to day operations for venue hire, and to have a substantive voice in the overall strategy of how we use our buildings.

Equal Opportunities
The Diocese of London is committed to creating and sustaining a diverse and inclusive workforce which represents our context and wider community. We are aware that those of Global Majority Heritage/United Kingdom Minority Ethnic (GMH/UKME) and disabled people are currently under-represented among our clergy and workforce, and we particularly encourage applications from those with the relevant skills and experience that will increase this representation.
