This is an exciting opportunity for a creative individual to establish and lead a community engagement and volunteer programme in an important new visitor attraction in the heart of London. Bevis Marks Synagogue dates back to 1701 and is the oldest synagogue in the UK. You will recruit, motivate and support a team of volunteers and develop a dynamic community engagement programme as part of a small, dedicated team at this special, historic site.

In 2019, Bevis Marks Synagogue received a National Lottery Heritage Fund grant to restore the synagogue and create The Dangoor Heritage Centre. This project displays and interprets the synagogue’s historic collection for the first time, and enhances visitor facilities. The S&P Sephardi Community established the Bevis Marks Synagogue Heritage Foundation (BMSHF) to manage this project and the site's ongoing visitor operations. We are looking for a dedicated and enthusiastic heritage engagement professional to help make Bevis Marks Synagogue a vibrant place of worship that shares its unique story with a wider community of people of all faiths and none.

Bevis Marks Synagogue, completed in 1701, is the oldest synagogue in the UK and the oldest in continuous use in Europe. Its Grade I listed Wren-style design, well-preserved interior and fittings make it exceptionally historically significant. It is still a working synagogue with a community that has been engaged in the development of the new Dangoor Heritage Centre.

The S&P Sephardi Community’s collection of objects, rich archive, and intangible heritage, such as music and traditions, offer a continuous record of Jewish life in Britain since the mid-seventeenth century. The collection is mainly silver and textiles and many items are of national significance, providing rare insights into the practice of Sephardi Jewish worship, and London’s changing fashions and craftsmanship.

Visitors will be welcomed by volunteers and will explore the synagogue and Dangoor Heritage Centre with the help of an audio guide which includes insightful contributions from a number of members of the Bevis Marks community who have participated in the project. Volunteers will also engage visitors throughout the exhibition areas and support our events programme, shop and catering offer and provide a friendly welcoming experience for a wide range of visitors, from within the UK and abroad.

The construction project is set to be completed by early summer 2025, with the exhibition fit-out over the summer and opening is anticipated in autumn 2025.

Are you someone who enjoys hands-on work and wants to make a meaningful difference every day? At Age UK Bromley & Greenwich, we’re looking for a practical, compassionate individual to join our team as a Handyperson. This is a vital role supporting older people and those with long-term health conditions as they return home from hospital.

You’ll be part of a fast-moving, highly valued service that helps people stay safe, independent and confident in their own homes. From installing grab rails and key safes to putting up curtain rails or fixing minor plumbing issues, the work you do will directly improve lives and reduce the risk of accidents and readmissions.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys variety and problem-solving, as no two days are the same. You’ll work closely with occupational therapists, respond to referrals (often on the same day), and be trusted to manage your own tasks with care and professionalism. You’ll also support our paid-for service offering, where your practical help continues to give people the reassurance they need to live independently.

We’re looking for someone with a solid set of DIY skills, a proactive attitude and a full UK driving licence. In return, you’ll join a warm, committed charity that has been supporting the local community for over 50 years. You’ll be part of a team that genuinely cares about the people we serve.

If you're ready to bring your practical skills into a role with real purpose, we’d love to hear from you.
