Centre director jobs

About the Shrine

For centuries, the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham in Norfolk has welcomed pilgrims, visitors and communities seeking reflection, connection and renewal.

It remains one of the UK’s most significant centres of pilgrimage. Each year, we receive around 10,000 residential pilgrims and over 100,000 visitors. Our work also includes education programmes, school visits and resources to support the teaching of Christianity in schools and parishes. We are committed to being a place of welcome for all, with particular care for those who come seeking hope, support and a sense of belonging.

Fundraising at the Shrine

The Shrine is supported by donations, membership, legacies and grants, and receives no statutory funding. 
We are now establishing a more structured and professional approach to fundraising and this role will play an important part in supporting the delivery of that activity and helping to build a sustainable income base for the future.

Why this role now?

As the Shrine develops a more proactive approach to fundraising, we are looking for someone who can help ensure that activity is well-organised, consistent and effective.
This is an opportunity to join at an early stage and help build the systems, processes and supporter relationships that will underpin long-term growth.

HT is a vibrant, evangelical, charismatic, Anglican church with a large and growing church family of all ages and stages. We are situated right at the centre of Cambridge and are perfectly placed to reach students and adults alike. Our heart is to reach Cambridge and beyond with the amazing news of Jesus Christ. We want to see as many people as possible come to follow him, be transformed by his love, and be equipped to be fruitful disciples.

This is a broad, strategic, and high level role overseeing all HT’s operational activity in order to turn vision into action and enable kingdom growth. You will be a key member of HT’s Senior Leadership Team and will be expected to bring considerable spiritual maturity, a strong understanding of operating in a church context, and proven strategic and technical leadership.

A major aspect of this role is to envision, encourage, and direct the wider Operations Team. A significant portion of your week will be spent with them, and you will be the key communication link between the Senior Leadership Team and the Operations Team. Strong management experience is essential, as is an understanding of the unique environment of operating as a member of church staff.

Sunday services are the shop window of HT and are central to everything we do. They are also our most complex operation, currently involving over 50 volunteers and serving approximately 500–600 worshippers across four services. While much of the weekly delivery will be delegated, your ongoing oversight, input, and development of Sundays will be key. 

About CLTR

The Centre for Long-Term Resilience (CLTR) is an independent, non-profit think tank working to transform global resilience to extreme AI and biological risks. We work with governments and institutions, offering evidence-based advice to improve understanding, decision-making and governance on some of the most pressing issues of our time.

The role

We're hiring two Operations Associates — one to sit within our AI Policy Unit, one within our Biosecurity Policy Unit. Embedded in your respective team, you'll provide a flexible mix of operational, administrative and project support that keeps the unit running well and frees up policy staff to focus on their work.

It's a genuinely varied role. Day to day you might be coordinating a grant proposal, managing a Director's diary, tracking a publication pipeline, or improving a process that's been getting in everyone's way. You'll also have regular touchpoints with CLTR's central Operations function and scope to contribute to organisation-wide projects.

This is a hands-on generalist role, well suited to someone who wants to develop their skills in project management and operations within a mission-driven environment.

Responsibilities include:

Operations and administration

• Coordinate team meetings, events and travel logistics
• Manage the unit Director's diary and act as a reliable gatekeeper for their time
• Oversee the team calendar and support planning of unit-level activities
• Coordinate the publication pipeline, including liaising with editors and designers
• Maintain filing systems, knowledge management processes and information security procedures
• Support onboarding of new team members and track unit-level budgets and expenses

Project coordination

• Track progress across multiple concurrent projects and ensure updates are shared in a streamlined way
• Log activity and impact across the unit in collaboration with the Delivery Manager
• Provide flexible support to project activities as needed

Grant writing and fundraising

• Coordinate input to grant proposals from policy staff, in partnership with the Fundraising team
• Contribute directly to grant writing with appropriate support
• Help maintain consistent language and references across funding proposals

About you

Essential:

• Experience in an operations, administrative or project management role
• Strong project coordination skills, able to manage multiple workstreams and meet deadlines
• Genuine interest in administration and operations — particularly in making systems work better for people
• Exceptional attention to detail, for calendars, logistics, written documents and presentations
• Ability to produce clear written content for different audiences, including funding proposals
• High level of discretion and comfort with information security protocols
• Proactive, high-agency approach — you follow through on commitments and don't wait to be told what needs doing
• Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build relationships across teams and with external partners
• Genuine commitment to CLTR's mission
• Eligible to live and work in the UK (we are unable to sponsor visas for this role)

Desirable:

• Experience in a non-profit, think tank or similarly mission-driven organisation
• Executive assistant experience
• Familiarity with AI safety or biosecurity policy
• Knowledge of project management methodologies such as PRINCE2 or Agile

This role is probably not right for you if you're looking for significant strategic or line management responsibility, or if your goal is to move into policy research. We're looking for someone who is genuinely motivated by operational excellence and wants to build a career in operations and/or project management.

Salary and benefits

c.£55,000 depending on experience. If salary is a barrier to applying, please do get in touch to discuss.

• 30 days annual leave plus public holidays
• £5,000 annual wellbeing budget
• £3,000 learning and development budget plus up to five paid days
