The General Assembly of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches (GA) is the central charity that supports its member congregations, ministers and societies in England, Scotland and Wales. Its purpose is to promote free and inquiring religion, through inclusive, free-thinking communities that draw on wisdom from all sources, without doctrine or dogma. Our congregations are autonomous and locally led; the GA is not a hierarchical leadership body, but one that supports and leads alongside our members.
As Britain’s religious culture and context has changed, so have Unitarian communities, and the GA is in a process of adapting to best meet these changing needs.
The purpose of this role
This is a new role, being the operational engine to strengthen the organisation at a time of change. Shifts in the wider Unitarian movement with patterns of innovation, rebuilding, and growth alongside congregational vulnerabilities and closures mean that the GA’s operational function must adapt.
This role would suit someone who is excited to manage governance, systems, and data as strategic enablers in a values-driven organisation, who can drive change while delivering operational excellence.
This is a role with real scope to shape how an organisation that is approaching its centenary works in the years ahead - including how good data, digital systems, and emerging tools can support a small team to make best use of its resources and build capacity for relational work.
The Operations Director will work closely with the Chief Officer, and will be a collaborative and proactive enabler to lead a transition to a future-fit organisation that can better serve its members and have a greater impact.
You don't need to be Unitarian or a person of faith to apply. We welcome candidates from all backgrounds and beliefs who are drawn to work within a values-led organisation.
What you’ll be doing
Strategy & organisational development — Partner closely with the Chief Officer to shape strategy, translate priorities into action, and build the systems that make us resilient.
Governance, legal & compliance — Serve as Company Secretary, stewarding our transition to CIO and ensuring we meet our legal and regulatory obligations with confidence.
Financial oversight — Ensure financial management arrangements (including outsourced providers) deliver accurate, timely information and sound controls; work with the Honorary Treasurer and external accountants on budgeting, fund oversight and audit support, escalating risks and holding providers to account.
Systems, data & digital — Lead our information infrastructure, oversee our CRM migration, and champion a culture of good data practice — including thoughtful use of AI where beneficial.
People & HR — Line manage two team members and keep our HR and supplier relationships running smoothly, with care and clarity.
Unitarian relationships — Nurture collaborative relationships with key Unitarian bodies from an operational perspective, including governance support for affiliated organisations.
Events & communications — Take operational ownership of the Annual Meeting and ensure the infrastructure behind our communications is solid and reliable.
See the attached job description for more details.
What core skills and experience you’ll have
Essential:
Senior operations leadership experience in a purpose-led or membership organisation, with a track record of building capacity through periods of organisational change.
Experience leading complex organisational change and systems transformation, including the people dimensions of change.
Experience managing contracted delivery of services by third parties
Financial literacy sufficient to own management accounts, lead a budgeting process, and act as a critical friend to trustees on financial governance.
Must be comfortable interrogating financial information and holding external providers to account; accountancy qualification not required
Experience of leading the implementation or significant improvement of CRM, financial management, or other organisational systems — including managing migration risk
Experience of people management, and good HR / employment practice
Substantial experience of charity governance and compliance
Solid working knowledge of UK charity law and Charity Commission requirements, including the ability to advise senior colleagues and trustees with confidence
Desirable:
Experience of property or building management, including leases, tenancy relationships, and facilities oversight
Experience of a CIO conversion or similar legal restructuring of a charity
Familiarity with Salesforce or similar CRM platforms
Experience of working in a faith, membership, or congregational context
