*Ordinarily Family Action appo...

Church of England Birmingham (CofEB) is on a journey of  growing churches at the heart of every community. Through this we are seeing growth in many exciting ways. Financially we are at a challenging point. We have had an operational deficit for a number of years and this cannot continue. The National Church has agreed to partner with us around this through their Diocesan Investment Programme enabling us to have the time, and resource, to tackle this head on. One key aspect of this is for us to increase our Common Fund returns (the giving from our parishes that supports the costs of our life together). We are taking a radical new approach to our finances which includes intentional reallocation of income to support the costs in our most economically deprived parishes and deeper relationships with each parish around finance through conversation rather than correspondence. Over the next five years we are hoping to be able to move to a financially sustainable platform which will enable us to better serve our communities in the future.

We have recently recruited a new Head of Generosity, who is also Bishops Advisor for Common Fund, to lead on this work and we are now looking to recruit the team to work with them. The focus of the team is to develop long term relationships with all of our parishes leading to:

• Greater support for our parishes.
• Increased generosity by, and within, our parishes.
• Increased Common Fund.

The current plan is to recruit two Giving & Generosity Advisor roles and one Giving & Generosity Support Officer role. Together this team will work with all of our parishes to roll out our financial approach, through in person meetings, and the support that is on offer as part of this.

JOB DESCRIPTION

The primary focus of this role is to work with parishes to:

• Understand their current financial situation and how this links to the wider Church of England Birmingham situation.
• Understand our model and how support is on offer for parishes who are economically deprived.
• Assess with them the support needed to increase generosity and giving at a local level and create an action plan around this that is bespoke and contextual.
• Create a long-term plan for their participation in the common fund.

We have 146 parishes and the Head of Generosity will manage the team so that all parishes can be engaged as quickly as possible. It is the Head of Generosity and two Giving & Generosity Advisors who will be carrying out the in-person meetings with each parish. These roles will work closely with a range of people and teams across Church of England Birmingham so that this work is integrated within our wider strategy and parishes are not confused by multiple disjointed initiatives. This will mean working with Archdeacons and Area Deans, Mission Support Team, Ministry Team, Property Team, Finance Team, Community Regeneration Team and Communications Team as well as others.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Develop strong relationships with parishes that will enable this project to flourish and also help increase the connection between parishes and the DBF. Signposting to other teams and projects will be important.
• Inspiring and encouraging parishes in their Christian approach to giving and generosity
• Creating bespoke multiyear plans for Common Fund with parishes with the support of a Steering Group that includes the Archdeacons and other key stakeholders.
• Provide consultancy, resources, and hands-on support to parishes to grow regular giving, legacies, and other forms of financial support. This work will be able to draw on the resources developed by the national church as well as the data held on their Cornerstone Grants Platform. The post-holder will be expected to engage in the work of the National Giving Team as part of the development of these wider resources.
• Develop and deliver training for clergy, lay leaders and PCCs on the theology and Christian practice of giving and generosity and also practical financial management (in conjunction with the Finance Team).
• Work closely with the Finance Team in matters of technical accounting, governance and financial management identified as needed by parishes.
• Encourage and assist parishes in the implementation of the Parish Giving Scheme, introduction of contactless giving mechanisms and related diocesan resources.
• Source, develop and curate practical resources (digital and print) to support local stewardship campaigns and initiatives.
• Evaluate the impact of stewardship and generosity initiatives and adapt strategies accordingly to achieve the p...

Location:

Malvern

Job description:

Great Malvern Priory seeking an experienced Financial Controller to coordinate and lead the financial and budgetary management of the Development phase of Project Light and Space, working closely with the Light and Space Steering Committee. The Financial Controller will be responsible for managing the finances of Project Light and Space within the overall context of all the Priory’s operations, and will coordinate all the financial aspects required for a submission of a successful Delivery phase application to The National Lottery Heritage Fund.

The Parochial Church Council of Great Malvern Priory Church (PCC) (the Client) wishes to establish a project team which is in place throughout the life cycle of the Project Light and Space. This post will be instrumental in both the Development and Delivery phases; this appointment is initially for the Development phase with an option to later extend to the Delivery phase, subject to funding, acceptable performance and adherence to procurement procedures.

The Development phase runs to October 2027, with the Delivery bid then submitted.

The c.£12m Project Light and Space will be transformational for Great Malvern Priory and its internationally important heritage, enabling more people to experience, share and learn about its historic environment and importance and making a fundamental difference to the Priory’s long-term sustainability.

The Project is made possible with grant support from The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery Players Great Malvern Priory has been awarded a grant to develop the conservation of its unique medieval English stained glass and surrounding stonework, repair towers and roofs, relocate internal facilities to a new-build extension and create interpretation and hospitality space, improve accessibility, introduce new level floors with underfloor heating and improve the biodiversity of the churchyard. In addition, an exciting programme of engagement will engage existing and priority audiences in a range of innovative interpretation and activity to celebrate the amazing heritage of the Priory.

The PCC is inviting either individual job applications or tenders from appropriately qualified, experienced and resourced consultants to fulfil the role of Financial Controller (FC) for our Project Light and Space (“the Project”) at Great Malvern Priory, Church Street Malvern, WR14 2AY.

The requirement of the Financial Controller for the 20 month Development phase is for an average of 0.4 FTE per week on a flexible basis as the project requires. Assuming a successful Delivery grant application to the Heritage Fund, it is the intention that the FC should continue through the full Delivery phase, nominal input of 0.8 FTE, subject to satisfactory performance and the Project continuing forward.

Job applications or tenders should be no more than 2 sides of A4 plus CV and 10mb when emailed to pdp@greatmalvernpriory.org.uk
