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.

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.

In the spring of 2025, the Vivensa Foundation launched its new strategic framework and identity.  Formerly known as the Dunhill Medical Trust, it was back in the 1980s that our founder's niece recognised that the shifting demographics would drive a need for investment in a high-quality research base to improve our understanding of the mechanisms of ageing and ageing-related disease, together with the delivery of innovation to improve health and social care services for older people. 

Our charitable objects were never more relevant than they are today and the opportunities are immense to support our academic and clinical researcher community to make real systemic change. 

Today, we are the stewards of an endowment valued at around £170M, and have committed to distributing at least £30M over the next five years in in grant funding.  We have also ring-fenced a part of our endowment for social investment. You can read more about our Strategic Framework here.

We now have a full time, permanent vacancy for an aspiring grants management professional to help us to deliver our strategic plan. As a member of the Grants Team and reporting to the Director of Research, you will be a primary point of contact for organisations applying for funding for academic or clinical research, as well as working with the team to develop, implement and evaluate our funding streams.  As such, you will make key contributions to the development and delivery of our core services, reinforcing our reputation for high quality and support for the research community.  If you’d like to explore using your grants management experience or research training in a subject area relevant to the work of the Foundation in a slightly different context, identify with our values and have the great attention to detail, flexible “can do” attitude and restless curiosity essential to the success of a small, expert team, go to our website to download the full job description and person specification and find out how to apply.

About the role

This is a hands-on, people-focused role at the heart of our programme delivery. As Programme Manager, you’ll work closely with communities, colleagues, volunteers, and partners to co-create and deliver meaningful programmes that centre on women’s voices and lived experience.

St Nicholas Hospice Care is recruiting a Director of Income Generation to help shape the development, delivery and strategy for fundraising, retail and marketing, enabling the best possible support for people in West Suffolk and Thetford facing dying, death and grief.

Who we are

St Nicholas Hospice Care is a welcoming place where someone with a life-limiting condition can get the specialist care, emotional and practical support they need.

We’re here to enable people to have a good quality of life, for as long as possible. That might mean managing pain and other symptoms, giving personal care, providing physiotherapy to keep someone mobile, offering counselling to work through difficult emotions or arranging special activities to make all-important memories with loved ones.

We look after people on our ward or wherever they call home – whether that’s their own home, living with family or in a care setting. We look after their family and friends too, because when someone is facing the end of their life, it affects everyone around them. We can offer practical help when caring for a loved one, answer difficult questions, or just be a listening ear in the hard times.

We strive for something better in the provision of high-quality, specialist palliative care, emotional and practical support, so that no one in West Suffolk and Thetford has to face dying, death and grief alone.

About the role

Reporting to the CEO, you’ll support and work collaboratively with the CEO and Directorate team to shape the development, delivery and success of the Hospice’s strategy and operational plans.

You’ll lead the Hospice’s non-statutory income generation (IG), providing strategic leadership and high-level operational oversight that enables the Hospice to deliver against its strategic and operational plans.

With ownership of the development and implementation of marketing and communications strategies, you’ll increase engagement with key target audiences, build and lead a high-performing team of staff and oversee substantial income growth.

Who we are looking for

We seek a values-led, senior multi-income generation leader with a proven track record of delivering substantial income targets, overseeing multiple income streams, including trading, community, individual giving, events, philanthropy and corporate partnerships.

You’ll be a strategic and inspiring leader, capable of building high-performing, collaborative teams with energy and purpose.

With overall responsibility for statutory and regulatory requirements in relation to fundraising, retail and marketing activities, you’ll enhance the profile of the Hospice locally and nationally to facilitate the delivery of the organisational strategy and its income.

You will be joining a warm and ambitious organisation with a deeply rooted community presence and a clear commitment to impact. It is a brilliant opportunity for someone ready to shape and deliver the next chapter of income generation for one of the region’s most important charities.

Applications for this role close at 9 a.m. Monday 21st July.

About the role

We’re looking for a proactive and organised Nations Trusts and Foundations Officer to help us grow and strengthen our funding from charitable trusts and foundations - specifically those supporting our work in Carers Scotland, Carers Wales, and Carers Northern Ireland.

This is a key role that directly supports policy influence and service delivery across the nations by securing flexible, budget-relieving grants. You’ll be responsible for researching funders, developing compelling applications, and building strong relationships with a range of national and regional trusts. You’ll also work closely with our teams in each nation to stay connected to their priorities and help translate their vital work into fundable and fund-winning cases for support.

It’s an exciting opportunity for someone who wants to deepen their expertise in trust fundraising while contributing to lasting change for unpaid carers.

About you

You’ll have experience of writing successful trust funding applications and will feel confident asking for grants of five figures or more. You enjoy writing clearly and persuasively, and you’re good at building positive relationships with funders over time.

You’re organised and reliable, able to manage a busy workload and keep on top of deadlines. You pay close attention to detail and take pride in producing accurate work, especially when reporting back to funders.
You’re someone who works well with others. You’ll enjoy talking to our teams in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to understand what they need and how funding can help. You’re curious, committed, and care about making a difference to people’s lives.

It’s helpful if you already understand the charity landscape in the nations or the challenges unpaid carers face, but it’s not essential. Most important is that you bring a positive, thoughtful approach and are ready to learn.
