WE ARE RECRUITING
The Birmingham Buddhist Centre is looking for a full time Operations Manager.
We are looking for a member of the Triratna Sangha who will help us ensure the charity stays afloat – financially, legally and logistically. Friends of the Centre are also very welcome to apply.
Working with a team of five other creative beings, we share collective decision-making in the spirit of Team Based Right Livelihood for the effective running of this vibrant, beautiful Buddhist Centre. We also share some core tasks such as reception, volunteer recruitment/support.
The key areas of specific responsibility include:
1. Managing the finances of the Centre
2. Taking oversight of income, business and contracts
3. Managing the residential properties
4. Development and implementation of policies and ensuring our legal obligations are met
In carrying out these tasks, the appointee would work closely with volunteers, other team members and the Trustees especially the Treasurer.
Plus – after a settling-in period, it’s likely that there will be scope for other projects and responsibilities to be taken on by this team member – such as volunteer management, fundraising or another project according to the needs of the Centre and the interests of the appointee.
This is a full-time job based at the Birmingham Buddhist Centre. There is some scope to establish regular working hours and arrange occasional home working. Some work in the evening or at the weekend may be required from time to time.
The Buddhist Centre benchmarks the rate of pay according to the Government’s National Living Wage with a supplement available for team members with extraordinary needs, to be negotiated on an individual basis within budget limits. The Buddhist Centre participates in the NEST workplace pension scheme.
