The Catholic Diocese of Northampton

Northampton with some flexible working

Full-time, permanent

The Catholic Diocese of Northampton covers the traditional counties of Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire, together with the town of Slough, a Unitary Authority within Berkshire.

The Diocese is involved in many different areas of life. Not just in parishes, but also in schools, hospitals, prisons and religious communities; working with people with disabilities, and with the young and the old; promoting the value of family and of marriage; caring for the poor, the homeless and those who live at the margins of society.

With its southern edge resting on the Thames and its northern tip in the East Midlands, it is by no means the smallest English diocese. There are 69 principal parishes with another 26 "satellite churches", chapels of ease, and a few more Mass centres in private schools and other institutions. They are served by 48 active diocesan priests, assisted by 12 active priests from other dioceses and 18 from religious orders.

The diocese has 29 schools at primary/infant/junior level, 6 secondary schools, one 4-19 VA through-school, one private primary school, a private prep school, and one private girls’ boarding through-school. Between them they educate some 20,700 pupils.

The diocese is a registered charity, The Northampton Roman Catholic Diocesan Trust, and is also a registered company. There is one active trading subsidiary, RCDN Property Services Ltd, which provides project management for school projects. There are separate Trustees' Property, Investment and Health and Safety Committees.

The Chief Finance Officer (CFO) will provide strategic leadership and oversight of all financial operations across the Diocese. As a key member of the senior leadership team, the CFO will ensure financial sustainability, regulatory compliance, and effective stewardship of the Diocese’s resources in support of its mission to advance the Roman Catholic faith, and the role is pivotal in safeguarding and enhancing the Diocese’s Mission and the supporting physical estate for current and future generations.

Our Team Leaders work as part of a team and are supported by Volunteer Coordinators at each session. Your role as a Team Leader will be to set overall objectives for the day, to brief your team at the outset and to ensure health and safety protocol is adopted. 

Our volunteering events are received very positively by participants and are very well regarded by corporates, most of which choose to book with us on a repeat basis.  The Team Leader is largely responsible for setting the tone of each day, for ensuring their effective management and for checking that all attendees can contribute and participate fully.

On any typical day with us this role might include:

• Briefing the Volunteer Coordinators so that they can support you
• Briefing the wider volunteer pool at the start of the session: introducing the rationale for our work and setting objectives 
• Ensuring plans are achieved and completing necessary reporting.

We run two volunteering days a week at our Birmingham HQ and are looking for a Team Leader that can help run one or both of these days - opening up the unit, managing the session and helping us reach our gifting objectives.

We also empower teachers and counsellors to manage the progression process effectively.

Our outlook is global - we work with schools and universities all over the world, from the US to New Zealand, and from Italy to Hong Kong. We want to make it so that young people can compare every opportunity taught in English, wherever it is in the world, and have all the support they need to make successful applications.

We have a clear social purpose, and we’re hugely ambitious. We already work with over half of UK secondary schools, and hundreds of international schools. We are growing rapidly in terms of the number of our customers, in terms of how much they use our platform, and in terms of the breadth of products we offer.
