Job description

About Brum Unitarians

Brum Unitarians, in central Birmingham, is a growing and genuinely inclusive community in the Unitarian tradition of rational inquiry, freedom of belief and ethical action.

Our vision is to develop into a thriving community hub hosting a wide range of activities, including talks, music/dance events, death cafés, community choirs and collaborative projects with local organisations. We are seeking someone who shares this vision and has the project management skills to help make it a reality.
