Benington Community Heritage Trust (Registered Charity No. 1121678) is the Trust which manages The Beonna at All Saints heritage venue.

This is a role for a dynamic and imaginative individual, who relishes the challenge of taking the helm of an organisation with a noble calling and illustrious past, and guiding it into the 21st Century.

Miss Daniell’s Soldiers Homes (known as MDSH) is one of the longest-established Christian charities supporting the British Armed Forces. Started in 1863 by Mrs Louise Daniell, the widow of an Army Captain, MDSH sought to provide soldiers away from home with a Temperance House – a Christian alcohol-free environment in which to relax away from the pressure and responsibilities of military life. 
 
Today, MDSH still operates the same property, now retasked as the HQ building for MDSH, SASRA and a number of smaller Christian charities. In addition, MDSH operates a facility at the nearby Gibraltar Barracks, the much-cherished Jackson Club, which has been a fixture of Army life for Royal Engineers for many years. 
 
We are looking to recruit a Facilities Director who will oversee the management and delivery of services at these facilities. Reporting into the Executive Director, you will ensure that they are run to the highest standards and that the delivery of services are conducive to the goals and objectives of the organisation – the physical, emotional and spiritual sustenance of British Armed Forces personnel and those that work to support them. 
 
You will be responsible for a small team of people and you will work in partnership with other internal departments, external contractors and local/military authorities. 
 
The successful candidate will serve the Council, staff, supporters and other stakeholders by enabling the delivery of those parts of our charitable aims relating to the smooth running of our facilities. This will be achieved by directing the work of the facilities staff, overseeing their recruitment, initial and continuation training and operations, and liaising with relevant stakeholders in order to steward the permissions and resources needed to allow the organisation to prosper. 

Applications are particularly welcome from those with a military background, or who have a demonstrable interest in the history of the British Armed Forces.

There is an occupational requirement for the job holder to be an evangelical Christian. 

Central London, like many cities across the world, is an exciting and stimulating place.  However, for some, it is a place to go when things have gone profoundly wrong and there is nowhere else. When people are on the edge, homeless, isolated and in despair there must be a place to turn. The Connection is there to be with people as they overcome that isolation, recover and move on to a meaningful, fulfilling life. 

However, this is not enough.  The experiences of people on the edge matter. Their story must be told to those in a position of power and influence, so that homelessness, exclusion and isolation are not acceptable features of life in the UK. 

The Connection at St. Martin’s empowers those who are on the edges of society to take control of their lives by:

⦁ providing practical support in an active environment designed to help people to recognise their own strengths, recover from crisis and move on;

⦁ collaborating with others who share our vision and mission not just in London, but other parts of the UK and the world;

⦁ sharing our learning with others, to deepen our own understanding and create a more socially just society for those on the margins.

The charity operates from two premises. The first is our main site in Westminster, which is a grade 1 listed building.  We share space here with our landlord, St Martin in the Fields Church and we are involved in a £12.5m capital replacement programme across the site.  Our second premises is a small supported housing project in Clapham and we have plans to develop this building.

The position of Facilities and IT Co-ordinator is a new and vital role in our Corporate Services Team.  Working under the Facilities and IT Manager, the post has been designed to support all aspects of the organisation’s facilities management.  The post holder must be able to combine technical skills (Project implementation, IT, H&S, contractor management) with the ability to build strong relationships with all building users.

Details of the full job description, which includes the detailed person specification can be found attached.

So, are you interested in this rewarding role that comes with some really great benefits? To apply, please submit a CV and cover letter highlighting that you meet the requirements of the role set out in the person specification attached. Only candidates that provide this, and who meet the essential criteria within the person specification, will be considered for an interview.

Closing date: 25th November 2020 – 5pm

Interview date: TBC

Rethinking Economics (RE) is an international network working to build a better economics in society and the classroom. We started as a student movement in 2012 and have since grown to become a registered charity with a 7-person staff team. Through a mixture of campaigning, events and projects, we support over 100 groups in over 30 countries around the world, alongside thousands of supportive members of the public, to reform the university economics curriculum to make it more pluralist, critical and applicable to the real world.

Rethinking Economics is undertaking an exciting transition process in which we are developing and expanding the future of the organisation. We will be accepting candidates from the UK, Germany and candidates based in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Over the next year we will be organising another online conference, launching our Members’ Council and training our constantly growing network of groups. It’s an exciting time for Rethinking Economics as it continues to grow across the world.

What we’re looking for

Someone with significant volunteer or work experience in organising, particularly in a student or economics environment. The ideal candidate will be proficient at one to ones and have a keen eye for identifying leaders and what training support they may require.

Diversity, Equality and Inclusion

We are committed to providing equality and fairness for all and not to discriminate on grounds of gender, marital status, race, ethnic origin, colour, nationality, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, mental health, religion or age. We encourage and celebrate the different qualities that our colleagues, and others we work with, bring to our work. And we believe that seeing things from a wide range of different perspectives helps us to resolve problems, adapt our approaches and develop as an organisation.
