Work with Us
The Guild Church of St Katharine Cree is a church for all workers in the heart of the City of London. On a journey of renewal, we are building a church community where all are welcome and those working in occupations which are often low paid or precarious are at the centre of our church life. Would you like to come and work with us?
Vacancy: Development and Operations Manager
We are recruiting a new post to support our future development. Working closely with the Priest-in-Charge, you will help design a sustainable operating model and help grow our income, and crucially work with us to lay the groundwork for the staffing, partnerships, and outreach that will let our ministry among workers flourish.
More than specific experience, we are looking for someone energised by new opportunities and willing to get stuck in: a wise and trusted senior colleague, generous towards others and the work, ready to hold real responsibility and to shape the role as it grows. Above all it asks for someone whose own Christian faith connects with the call to build a church where the least-secure workers of the City are at the centre of its life and leadership.
The role is advertised at 0.5 FTE and £40k pa pro rata.
Please read the job information pack. Then, please apply before 5pm on 20th July by sending in a completed application form, covering letter (no more than 2 pages, addressed to Revd Josh Harris), and CV to josh@stkatharinecree.org
If you would find it helpful, please contact Revd Josh Harris for an informal conversation before you apply.
Volunteering
There are lots of different opportunities developing at St Katharine Cree in which you might like to volunteer.
The first step is to fill out this form. We will then arrange to meet with you to learn more about what you're looking for from volunteering.
If you’d like to learn a bit about us before applying, you’re very welcome to come by for a chat or to join one of our gatherings:
-
Tuesdays at lunchtime – pop in to say hello and have a chat with one of our team.
-
Fridays at 12:30 pm – join us for a shared lunch and time to reflect together and explore the Bible.
Feel free to also join us for the Eucharist every Tuesday at 8:30 am in the church.
Feel free to get in touch with us at: Kitty@StKatharineCree.org.
Anyone who volunteers with us regularly has at least a DBS check and references appropriate to the role, as part of our safeguarding approach to ensure that we remain a community where all are welcome and safe.
Chaplaincy
A church has stood on Leadenhall Street for nearly 800 years, bearing witness to Jesus Christ in word and action for generations.
We want people who enter this space to encounter the love of God, and the peace which comes from entering a sacred place of prayer and reflection. So, as we are open more during the week we are looking for Chaplaincy Volunteers to offer a welcoming presence and pastoral support to visitors.
As a Chaplaincy Volunteer, you will help visitors and tourists experience a friendly welcome to the church and offer a listening ear and pastoral support if required. You will be part of our growing workplace chaplaincy team, helping to create a welcoming and supportive space where everyone feels valued and encouraged.
Community cooks
We believe in the power of shared meals to foster community and connection. As part of our Christian mission, we're looking for more passionate Volunteer Community Cooks to help us create a welcoming space on Saturday mornings for our ESOL learners.
Our volunteers come with all kinds of cooking experience. Some are just starting out, others have been cooking for years. What matters most to us is the heart behind it!
Would you like to come and spend a team building day helping us here at St Katharine Cree?
There are lots of ways you can help: from helping tidy the garden, to repainting neglected areas of the building we are bringing back into use, to helping run CV coaching clinics for young people and those out of work who are applying for jobs.
We would love to hear from you and discuss what you could do as a team with us. Or, you can contact us.
Corporate Days
Would you like to experience a different kind of workplace ministry here in the City of London? Are you interested in pioneering new approaches to growing churches, so that we can reach every Londoner with the good news of Jesus Christ?
We are committed to supporting the development of new vocations, and the training of new leaders for the Church - including those called to ordained ministry.
Please get in touch with Revd Josh Harris, the Priest in Charge, if you'd like to spend time here on placement for any length of time as part of your training for ordained ministry in the Church of England.
