St George the Martyr is growing
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.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
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.
