Closing Date: 02/09/2024
Hours: 9.00a.m. - 5.00 p.m. (core hours)
Salary: £28,000
Based at: St Andrew Holborn, EC4A 3AF
About The Role

There has been a church dedicated to St Andrew on the site of the present building for well over 1,000 years. Since just after the Second World War, it has been designated a ‘Guild Church’ and as such its focus is on the community of people who work around it. The church is an active place of worship.

St Andrew Holborn is also a workplace. The staff of the various charities that are associated with the church work in the offices immediately next to the church in the ground floor of what used to be the vicarage. It is also the workplace of the Guild Vicar and the Associate Vicar.
It is also an events space. The church itself and the rooms in the Courthouse are hired out for a wide range of meetings, concerts and other corporate and church events.

And last, but by no means least, it is a home. It is the home of the Guild Vicar and his family and of a tenant who lives in our Lodge House.
Two of the charities based here – St Andrew Holborn Church Foundation and Parish Estates Charity – and a trading company support the work of the St Andrew Holborn Guild Church Council to maintain the buildings and with the cost of providing services at the church.

Three other charities – St Andrew Holborn & Stafford’s Charity, Bromfield’s Educational Foundation and Lady Elizabeth Hatton’s Charity – make grants that provide relief in need, either to individuals directly or through organisations that support individuals. Together they make grants of more than £500,000 a year.

You will be working as part of a small team who support the work of all of these organisations in various ways. While you will be mainly working with the Events Manager, all of the staff are employed by all of the organisations, so the staff are expected to work flexibly to some extent.

You will need to be available to work as part of a rota some evenings and some weekends to support events either in the church or in the Courthouse. You will be paid an additional hourly rate for these out-of-hours duties.

There is no requirement for you to be a Christian or a person of faith, but you must be in sympathy with and respect the aims of the organisations for which you will be working.
