Do you have a scientific PhD and postdoc/industry experience? Do you want to apply your scientific skills and research experience to health and sustainable development projects? Are you interested in meeting people, sharing your skills and learning to be a first-class communicator? Then this is the job for you.

Who we are 

Scriptoria is a values-driven, ethically focused consulting company that has a strong international reputation for excellence. We specialise in helping clients around the world to tackle sustainable development, poverty reduction, health, and climate and environmental issues.

St Mary Redcliffe is a thriving, inclusive Christian community that has grown significantly over the past twelve years. It is a traditional, robed, choral church that is also theologically progressive, committed to welcoming and valuing people of all ages, backgrounds, identities, abilities, and circumstances. The church reflects a diverse and vibrant congregation united by a shared commitment to faith, inclusion, and the belief that all are equally loved and welcomed by God.

Alongside its worshipping life, St Mary Redcliffe is a well-established heritage destination and an active force for good in one of the most deprived parishes in the country. Thousands of visitors already come each year, with ambitious plans through Project 450 to expand access, facilities, education, and interpretation, enabling many more to engage with the church’s history, heritage, and Christian story.
