Help Us Build Something Beautiful

A new Buddhist practice centre in the beautiful Gloucestershire countryside is looking for an experienced and compassionate leader.

Are you drawn to creating mindful spaces where people can truly connect with themselves and others?

The Being Peace Centre, founded in Thich Nhat Hanh’s Plum Village tradition, is seeking a full-time Centre Director, who can balance practical management skills with a deep commitment to mindful living. You'll shape this emerging community from the ground up, managing our operations, leading our team, and helping create something meaningful.

We’re looking for someone with:

  • Proven experience running a residential or retreat centre (or similar complex project)
  • ​A collaborative, people-centred leadership style
  • ​The flexibility and creativity to thrive in a start-up environment

In return, we offer a competitive salary, potential on-site accommodation, good benefits, and the rare opportunity to help birth a center that will support countless people's wellbeing for years to come.

Our vision is to create a vibrant, inclusive community where people from all backgrounds can experience the transformative power of mindfulness practice in the Plum Village tradition.

About Being Peace Centre

Being Peace Centre is a new mindfulness practice centre founded by Plum Village UK in the tradition of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. Located on a beautiful historic farm in Abenhall, Gloucestershire, the centre will provide a peaceful environment for retreats and mindfulness practice throughout the year.

The centre will accommodate:

  • 30+ residential guests year round
  • Visiting teachers throughout the year
  • The potential to grow this number to 60+ guests over the coming years
  • A resident lay community of 6-8 people
  • Working volunteers and regular local volunteers
  • A sustainable "Happy Farm" mindful organic growing space, developing over the coming years.
  • Walking meditation paths and dedicated practice spaces

Role Purpose

As Centre Director, you will provide leadership and operational management for this exciting new project during its critical establishment phase. Working collaboratively with the Plum Village UK Trustees, resident community, dharma teachers and visiting monastics, you will help bring this vision to life and ensure the centre's long-term sustainability.

This is a unique opportunity to help shape the foundation and culture of a significant new Buddhist centre in the UK, combining practical management skills with deep alignment to mindfulness principles.

Plum Village UK is committed to being a diverse and inclusive community.
