About The Role
Do you love making things work smoothly so a church can thrive? Behind every vibrant, welcoming church is a steady hand bringing order, care, and vision to the details that matter. Christ Church W4 is looking for an Operations Director who is excited to serve both people and purpose—someone who finds joy in creating well-run spaces, supporting teams, and helping ministry happen with excellence and warmth.
If you’re passionate about meaningful work, practical leadership, and being part of a community where what you do truly matters, this could be the role you’ve been waiting for.
To serve on the Leadership Team, and to work collaboratively with the Vicar, other Senior Leaders and other ministry leaders, the Trustee Board (PCC) and its sub-committees, helping CCW4 to thrive and fulfil its vision.
To take a lead in the management and care of the operations team, helping to develop, promote and champion a healthy staff culture and a cohesive sense of team.
To support the leadership of the whole staff team in a similar way.
Alongside the Vicar, 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 oversee church communications and communication channels.
To continually develop effective, efficient, and flexible administrative processes, and robust and appropriate structures for leadership, management, and governance (including statutory compliance).
To be responsible for compliance with all statutory and regulatory requirements from finance (with the Treasurer and Finance Team) to data (with the Senior Administrator) to Health and Safety and insurance (with the Premises Manager and Fabric Committee).
The ideal candidate will be passionate about building the CCW4 community – from welcoming through to feeling part of the church and serving through volunteering – and will have:
– Church/charity operations management experience (paid or voluntary)
– Leadership experience
– Property and facilities management experience
– Project management skills and experience
– Financial awareness of the church or charity sector
– Volunteer recruitment/management experience
We are open to applications from candidates who are still growing in a relevant leadership area – you may not have all of this experience yet but are willing to invest yourself in Christ Church W4 and grow with the role under suitable coaching.
