Job description

St Mary Redcliffe is a thriving, inclusive Christian community that has grown significantly over the past twelve years. It is a traditional, robed, choral church that is also theologically progressive, committed to welcoming and valuing people of all ages, backgrounds, identities, abilities, and circumstances. The church reflects a diverse and vibrant congregation united by a shared commitment to faith, inclusion, and the belief that all are equally loved and welcomed by God.

Alongside its worshipping life, St Mary Redcliffe is a well-established heritage destination and an active force for good in one of the most deprived parishes in the country. Thousands of visitors already come each year, with ambitious plans through Project 450 to expand access, facilities, education, and interpretation, enabling many more to engage with the church’s history, heritage, and Christian story. Deeply rooted in its local context, the church invests heavily in community development, runs a community hub, and is recognised by the city as a key civic partner. All of this is sustained by a small, committed staff team, working creatively and energetically across worship, community engagement, safeguarding, heritage, governance, and the complex practical demands of running a large, historic parish church.

We are seeking an experienced and committed Finance Manager to support the work of the church by ensuring excellent financial stewardship, strong governance, and clear financial planning.

This is a key role, working closely with the staff team, clergy, churchwardens and PCC, and offering both strategic oversight and hands-on financial management.

  • A broad programme of pastoral care, community engagement, and outreach
