Summary

We're looking for an Events Coordinator to work at Lambeth Palace.

About the Department/Role

Lambeth Palace is a unique building of significant historical and global provenance. It is, first and foremost, the home of the Archbishop of Canterbury and their family, as well as home to a wider, diverse and thriving, residential community. It is also an office and the epicentre of the Archbishop of Canterbury's ministry to the Church of England and the global Anglican Communion. It is a Grade I listed building comprising various listed buildings dating from the 12th to the 20th centuries, set within 10 acres of beautiful landscaped gardens. Extensive refurbishment works are currently underway to the Blore Building, bringing state of the art facilities to the event spaces. A re-launch of the event spaces is being planned for 2025, upon completion of the works.

By its nature and location, Lambeth Palace is seen as an iconic statement of the values and the nature of the Church of England, the Anglican Communion and the ministry of the Archbishop of Canterbury. As such, the way it is managed is essential to the witness and ministry exercised or exemplified within its boundaries.

In collaboration with the wider events team, this fast-paced position plays a key role in the setting of the tone and ethos of the practical operational extension of the Archbishop's ministry. The pattern set by the traditions of hospitality set out in the Rule of St Benedict and the ancient traditions of Christian hospitality, which call for all visitors to be treated as if they were Christ Himself, set the benchmark for this post.

What you'll be doing

The purpose of this role is to facilitate and coordinate the Events Diary at Lambeth Palace, as well as co-manage the day-to-day running of meetings, events and hospitality. In addition, the post holder will ensure that NCI and internal events/meetings are supported with the necessary resources. The post holder will also manage the end-to-end delivery of community events such as Garden Open Days.

Key role requirements

The role requires the ability to work flexibly, including evenings and up to five Saturdays a year.
A Basic DBC check is required for this role.

About You

The Church of England is for everyone and we want to reflect the diversity of the community the Church serves across the whole country. Therefore, while of course we welcome all applications from interested and suitably experienced people, we would particularly welcome applicants from UK Minoritised Ethnicities (UKME)/Global Majority Heritage (GMH) and other under-represented groups. As a Disability Confident employer, we are committed to recruiting disabled people. We offer interviews to disabled people who meet the minimum criteria for the role.

You'll need to have/be:

Educated to A-Level standard or equivalent.
An interest and passion for welcoming visitors, excelling at engaging with stakeholders and event attendees.
Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written.
An excellent grounding in event co-ordination and diary management.
Ability to think creatively and work collaboratively.

Please refer to the Job Description for more information about the role and person specification.

A salary of £34,801, plus age-related pension contributions between 8-15% of salary. We will also match any pension contributions you make up to an additional 3% of your salary.

Your Benefits

We welcome all flexible working arrangement requests. This is looked at in a case-by-case scenario and if this fits within the department's needs. We try to be as flexible as we can in your work pattern to support you with other commitments, and to give a good work-life balance.
We offer many services and initiatives under our Family Friendly Programme, some of these include enhanced Maternity Leave initiative, Adoption leave, Paternity Leave, & Shared Parental Leave. Structured induction programme and access to a range of development opportunities including apprenticeships.
