Thank you so much for your interest in the role of Operations Manager.

Ascension is a truly special place to be. We are a thriving Anglican church community in South West London. Our mission is to share the love of God in everything we do – from our vibrant Sunday mornings including Bubble Church – a service for young families that started at Ascension and is being rolled out nationally across the Church of England, to our café Parish Coffee which is open during the week and hosts a refugee drop-in, debt advice service and various community groups.

As our Operations Manager, you will be the operational backbone of the church. While our clergy and ministry leaders focus on the frontline, you will be the one ensuring the infrastructure is robust enough to support our mission.

This is a senior leadership position within our staff team. You won’t just be managing tasks; you will be a key partner to me and the wider team, helping us refine our processes and manage our resources, to ensure we continue to thrive.

Whether managing finances, overseeing building projects, or navigating complex negotiations, every task you undertake serves our mission to share God’s love.

We are looking for a self-starter, and a passionate disciple of Jesus who is ready to use their professional gifts for the kingdom. We hope this pack gives you a sense of the exciting journey we are on and look forward to hearing from you.
