Job description
Join Us as our Operations Coordinator
BeSpace is a small but growing Christian charity with a big vision to see a future where every child has space to develop personal tools to pray, reflect and grow spiritually throughout their lives, helping churches, schools and communities to flourish.
We have seen incredible impact through developing prayer and reflections spaces in schools across Oxfordshire. Since 2010, over 65,000 children have experienced prayer and reflection spaces led by local churches, trained and resourced by us. Currently 60 schools a year have one. Now, we're building on this momentum to reach over 115 schools in the next three years and are preparing to grow nationally with developing contemplative retreats for schools.
About the Role
We are looking for an Operations Coordinator to cover adoption leave, likely for one year. This is a vital role in keeping BeSpace running smoothly and enabling our small but growing team to thrive. You will also, where needed, play a hands-on role in supporting churches and schools in our work.
In this role, you will:
* Take responsibility for key operational processes including recruitment, HR, and volunteer management systems — not only maintaining them effectively but actively seeking ways to innovate and strengthen them, with guidance and support from senior leaders.
* Manage finance administration, including donations, CRM (Beacon), and Gift Aid claims.
* Project manage BeSpace events and provide admin support to the team.
* Develop and maintain systems for impact tracking, GDPR compliance, and volunteer management.
* Provide communications and social media support.
* Where needed, support on-the-ground delivery of retreats and prayer and reflection spaces in schools.
* This role would suit someone with strong organisational and administrative skills, a passion for children's spiritual development, and a willingness to get stuck into a wide variety of tasks.
About You
We're looking for someone who is:
* Exceptionally organised, with the ability to manage multiple projects.
* Confident using IT systems and willing to learn how to use a CRM (Beacon).
* Able to work independently and collaboratively.
* Flexible, adaptable, and willing to work occasional evenings/weekends.
* Personally committed to BeSpace's vision, with a strong Christian faith and a desire to see children flourish spiritually.
Experience in HR, finance, events, or charity administration would be an advantage, but we're open to applicants with transferable skills.
