Lansdowne Church has experienced an exciting time of growth and development since relocating back to its town centre location, following a church rebuild, which opened in September 2021 with over 750 attending the morning and evening Sunday services.

During the past three years Lansdowne has undergone a period of transformation as God has opened up many new previously unforeseen ministries that reach out to those in our local community and the wider conurbation of Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch.

We are now looking forward to the next phase in the life of Lansdowne and are building a team of both staff and volunteers that has a unified passion, to serve and share the gospel wherever possible.

The Head of Operations will be a senior role working alongside the Ministers and Elders/Trustees to input into developing and delivering the Church Vision and calling. The role will require exceptional relational and co-ordinating skills, managing the team of staff and volunteers and will also require a flexible approach to the working week to meet the operational demands of the Church. Experience in developing policies and procedures and managing Health & Safety is essential.

If you have the experience of managing a complex and challenging operational environment and have the capacity and resilience to help take Lansdowne forward on its next phase, we would love to hear from you.

You will be expected to regard Lansdowne as your home church, and to fully accept and lead others in line with the Christian values, beliefs and vision of the church as defined by the Lansdowne Basis of Faith. You will also be required on occasion to work on a Sunday.

*There is a Genuine Occupational Requirement for the post to be a filled by a practicing Christian as defined in the Equality Act 2010.
