Great marketing connects organisational priorities with the people we need to reach. This 9-month maternity-cover role will lead integrated campaigns and high-quality content that build awareness, strengthen trust and support the impact of Southern Hospice Group across our communities.

You will take ownership of campaign planning and delivery across digital, print, events and media, translating priorities from Fundraising, Retail, Clinical Services, the People Team and Corporate Partnerships into audience-led marketing activity. You will balance planned campaigns with emerging organisational needs, making clear choices about where time and resource will have the greatest impact.

Alongside campaign leadership, you will help shape editorial and content planning, developing compelling, accessible content that communicates our impact and supports engagement. You will work closely with Brand, Digital and Creative colleagues to ensure campaigns are joined up, consistent and effective across channels.

You will be a trusted marketing partner to senior and operational stakeholders, using insight and performance data to improve activity and provide clear recommendations. You will also provide day-to-day leadership, coaching and direction to Marketing and Communications Officers and apprentices.

This is a fixed-term role where pace matters. Success will mean quickly building strong relationships, maintaining continuity through maternity cover and delivering measurable campaigns without losing quality, brand discipline or audience focus.

You'll be

You do not need to come from a hospice or charity background. What matters is that you can bring relevant expertise, understand the responsibility attached to our work and use your skills to deliver meaningful, measurable impact.

• Significant experience delivering integrated marketing campaigns from planning through to evaluation.
• Experience developing marketing plans and managing multiple campaigns, stakeholders and deadlines at the same time.
• Strong campaign management and project management skills, with evidence of delivering on time and within budget.
• Excellent copywriting and editing skills, with the ability to turn organisational priorities into clear, compelling audience-focused content.

St George the Martyr is a growing Parish Church. We are looking for an experienced operational leader who can help us build the organisation around that growth and turn vision into practical reality.

This is a senior leadership role at the heart of a vibrant, world-diverse parish in central London. Our congregation has grown, new ministries have taken root, Holy Hour has created a distinctive new space for worship and encounter, and the Borough Food Cooperative has become an increasingly important part of our relationship with the neighbourhood.

There is a great deal of life here. The question for us now is how we develop the people, systems, resources and organisational capacity needed to sustain it.

We are therefore appointing a Director of Operations / Parish Clerk to become the senior lay operational leader of St George the Martyr.

Working closely with the Rector, Churchwardens and PCC, you will take substantial responsibility for the effective day-to-day running and development of the parish. You will help turn our Mission Action Plan and wider ambitions into practical plans, strengthen our finances and governance, lead staff, improve systems, oversee significant projects and ensure that good decisions become reality.

This is not an administrative support role. We are looking for someone who enjoys making organisations work better, can see both the bigger picture and the practical detail, and is comfortable exercising real responsibility and delegated authority.

The role is unusually broad and interesting. Among other things, you will have the opportunity to:

• lead and develop our operational staff team;
• strengthen budgeting, forecasting and financial management;
• improve governance, safeguarding, risk and organisational systems;
• help shape an additional parish support role;
• develop our approach to giving, fundraising and income generation;
• support the continued development of the Borough Food Cooperative;
• help shape the future of our buildings and property, including the significant potential of our nearby St Alphege site;
• make thoughtful use of technology, automation and AI to make everyday work easier and more effective.

We do not expect you to be an expert in every part of this wide-ranging role, and you do not need to have worked in a church before. More important is a strong track record in operations or organisational leadership, good financial judgement, experience of leading people, the ability to solve problems and improve systems, and the confidence to know when to act, when to delegate and when to seek advice.

St George the Martyr stands in the heart of Borough, on a site where Christians have worshipped for more than nine centuries. Our present church dates from 1736 and carries extraordinary layers of London history, but we are not primarily a heritage project. We are a living, worshipping church, rooted in the progressive Anglican-Catholic tradition, sacramental and inclusive, with the Eucharist at the heart of our life.

Our values are Worship, Purpose, Togetherness and Justice. We want to be a church where people grow in faith, newcomers find belonging, volunteers discover and use their gifts, children and families have a real place among us, and our buildings and resources are used imaginatively in the service of God and our neighbours.

The successful candidate will also hold the historic office of Parish Clerk of St George the Martyr and, subject to the appropriate requirements, may be proposed for membership of the Worshipful Company of Parish Clerks.

You will have a desire to support and develop the Christian mission and ethos of St George the Martyr and commitment to its values of Worship, Purpose, Togetherness and Justice.

About the role:. 

In this small charity, the Head of Operations combines operational coordination, programme oversight, partnership development and income generation, with delivery shared across volunteers, trustees and contracted staff.The role offers a high degree of autonomy and flexibility, alongside the opportunity to shape how the organisation works and develops.

RRN is volunteer-led, and the Head of Operations is the organisation’s only permanent employee, holding overall coordination and accountability for day-to-day operations. This is therefore a broad, high-trust role: rather than delivering everything directly, you will enable and coordinate others, working closely with trustees, volunteers and contractors who deliver significant elements of the activity you lead.

Income development and funding

• Write grant applications and manage reporting requirements (with volunteer/trustee input).

• Maintain and develop funding pipeline and actively develop new funding streams.

• Support relationship-building with donors and community supporters.

Finance and compliance 

• Monitor programme budgets, working with the Treasurer.

• Support trustees in governance, reporting and compliance responsibilities.

• Maintain organisational policies and procedures.

• Lead safeguarding practice and reporting, acting as Designated Safeguarding Lead and ensuring policies are implemented by staff, volunteers, and contractors.

• Maintain oversight of organisational risk, compliance with Charity Commission, data protection, employment requirements and insurance arrangements.

• Ensure appropriate administrative systems are in place and followed, including maintaining up-to-date records in the CRM, Lamplight.
