Background

Union Chapel, is a unique multi award-winning performing arts venue, with a global reputation for international cultural events engaging diverse audiences. For 30+ years events have been our lifeblood and income, annually engaging 100,000+ visitors through 250 events.

And Union Chapel is more than a venue. A Grade I listed Gothic architectural jewel, it is also home to charities tackling homelessness, social justice, empowering local communities with creative groups, training and employability programmes for local communities. Profits from events substantially support our vital charitable work with local communities and we are a model of good practice for community engagement.

When Union Chapel closed as a venue in March 2020, Union Chapel pivoted our spaces to become a COVID community emergency hub, maintaining and escalating our work for the hardest hit, setting up a foodbank, outreach, befriending services and support packs for those most in need.

However, Union Chapel’s trading subsidiary lost £1.5m venue revenue, and UCP faced being insolvent by the end of the financial year. UCP had until this point had relatively little income from fundraising, with 80% of the charity’s income from the venue. However, with a skeleton team, several staff pivoted their work to focus on fundraising, and they subsequently raised over £600,000 in emergency funds primarily from trusts and foundations, opening up new relationships, as well as developing new sources of income through live-streaming and recorded events.

This role joins UCP at a critical time. With a fundraising target of £1.2m for FY 21-22, you will be joining a small but dedicated team helping to ensure Union Chapel’s survival through 21-22, towards a bright, bold, exciting future as a leading ethical arts venue for all, where culture, community, heritage and social justice come together in union.

This new role begins at a time of significant change in the organisation: in the next five years we will create a heritage experience that has a strong sense of place, our programming will engage more people and we will excel at caring for our collections and heritage whilst making them more accessible to all.

About the Role

The heritage that is in the care of the Order of St John in England includes the magnificent gatehouse in Clerkenwell, dating to the time of Henry VII, and the 12th century crypt, the sole surviving piece of the extensive St John Priory on the outskirts of the City of London. The gatehouse is home to the Museum of the Order of St John which cares for an accredited collection of over 60,000 objects and further collections are kept in St John buildings across England. The objects chart over 900 years of caring by an organisation that began with a hospital in Jerusalem and now operates in 41 countries across the world. In addition to the collection held in London, St John holds smaller collections across England. St John’s strategy is rooted in communities, pays greater focus to young people and aims to be the sector leader in first aid. The role of the museum, the historic buildings and the compelling stories they tell provide the foundation of the contemporary charity, St John Ambulance.

This new role begins at a time of significant change in the organisation: in the next five years we will create a heritage experience that has a strong sense of place, our programming will engage more people and we will excel at caring for our collections and heritage whilst making them more accessible to all. To achieve this, exceptional leadership is required, both to influence external potential partners and to ensure that we provide the most engaging and meaningful experiences for our audiences and St John people. To enable this, a new strategy is also required for our commercial business in our heritage estate, ensuring that we optimise the level of income to support our public engagement activity.

The working location is flexible across England including home working although you may be expected to be in Clerkenwell, London at least two days per week.
