About Us

Formed in 2021, the School Partnerships Alliance (S.P.A.) is an independent, non-politically aligned membership and delivery organisation which supports and promotes impactful, sustainable and mutually beneficial cross-sector school partnerships. We promote and develop best practice, commission research, provide training and offer a wide range of partnership brokering and audit support. We wholeheartedly support the delivery of the strongest pupil outcomes for all children and our national programmes and initiatives are informed by research and experience and driven by impact. 

The S.P.A.’s ambition is to become the leading, evidence-led, trusted voice on school partnerships in the UK. Working as a force for school improvement, our vision is for independent-maintained school partnership work to embed itself into the fabric of the national school system; one which is both self-improving and sustainable. We work to enrich both public and policymaker understanding of the benefits of cross-sector school partnerships through research, targeted initiatives and impact analysis.

Our long-term goal is for all UK schools to partner in some form, to improve both their own and their partner schools’ performance and deliver benefits to all pupils, particularly those attending schools in under-resourced areas. We want to work with a wide range of organisations and individuals who share our vision for a fairer future for all children and build a national strategy for school partnerships. A future where all schools work together for meaningful, mutual benefit to support the educational and emotional needs and aspirations of the next generation.

ABOUT THE CHURCH

We welcome everyone to join with us in discovering Jesus and sharing God’s love, especially by caring for those in need.

Located in a multicultural and socioeconomically diverse neighbourhood, the church actively promotes inclusion, stands against racism and discrimination, and is an equal opportunity employer. 

OUR ETHOS – GUIDING VALUES AND IDEALS

We believe that God is loving, good and just, and chooses to reveal himself to us! He made humans in his image, so we’re designed to live in relationship with him and with each other in community. The world is currently not as God wants, and his plan is to renew the whole of creation. He invites and calls us to the privilege of working with him on this mission.

With this in mind, we want to reflect God’s love and character in our values and actions.

OUR VALUES

• We value growing in relationship with God in a wide variety of ways - welcoming questions and doubts as vital parts of learning and growing. We long for people to know Jesus and follow Him.
• We build relationships on love, compassion, and mutual respect.
• We treat everyone with kindness and dignity, caring especially for those in need, and seeking justice and reconciliation.
• We seek to reflect God’s generosity, integrity and honesty in business.
• We share our beautiful building with the local community and offer a place of belonging, hope, and participation.
• We believe leadership is servant-hearted, and all are encouraged to take part.
• We seek to express encouragement, forgiveness, and lasting hope.

OUR WORK AND MISSION

Our church activities flow out of our community's passions and interests, aiming to embody God's character in all we do.

OPERATIONS MANAGER - ROLE RESPONSIBILITIES

The Operations Manager is a key support for the church’s leadership and heads the staff team providing management over key operational and missional areas of the church’s activities.

This leadership role supports the ethos and ministries of the church and its mission to be a church for the community - discovering Jesus, sharing God’s love, and caring for those in need.

A vital aim for our church’s work in the local community is that our staff relationships, our Venue ministry, our Christian hospitality and how we use and share our building should all reflect God’s character - showing compassion, generosity, and kindness.

The role has a lot of different components, so we’re looking for someone who sees all aspects of this job as an expression of the church’s mission to proclaim the Good News and will facilitate and serve the congregation, the staff and the volunteer teams as they creatively explore ways to express our Christian ethos through the life and ministries of the church. This therefore requires that they are someone who has a mature Christian faith.

They will need to be a “servant“ leader who is mentally agile, energetic, able to schedule and prioritise, a good delegator, a team player, a quick learner and capable of taking initiatives, with a healthy understanding of self-care - we’re not looking for a “hero”, but someone who can work sustainability.

Leadership:

• Work closely with the church leadership team to support the trustees, staff and congregation in the development of church vision, ethos, mission and ministries.
• Create a positive, Christian work environment, and cultivate supportive team working relationships and working practices that align with the church’s mission.
• Lead the staff team, providing effective leadership, management, administration, recruitment, and staff development. Facilitate the team as they represent the church’s values in the day-to-day open house ministries of the church.
• The Operations Manager must be able to represent the church and the church’s Christian ethos in the absence of the Minister.

Building Management:

• Support and develop initiatives that enable every aspect of the building's use, welcome and presentation to be missional.
• Provide effective management, administration, organisation, maintenance, and development of the WGC church buildings and equipment.
• Coordinate with the Estate Manager to develop long-term maintenance plans for the common parts areas of the building.
• Provide the Trustees with regular building management reports.

Compliance and Legal Administration:

Provide effective management, administration, organisation, and compliance with UK laws, for:

• The maintenance of a safe and healthy working environment.
• Safeguarding, equality and inclusion.
• HR matters including safe recruitment, induction, training and employee development.
• GDPR
