We are looking to appoint an Operations Coordinator at Beccles Baptist Church. This is an important part-time role, working alongside our pastors. God-willing, we hope to appoint someone to this role before the end of the year.
Why is the role of Operations Coordinator needed and what will it achieve?
Given the growth we have been blessed with in recent years there is a pressing need to expand our staff team. The particular need that has been identified is for someone to serve alongside the Senior Pastor and Assistant Pastor taking responsibility for many of the operational responsibilities in the life of the church. It is hoped that the appointment of an Operations Coordinator will improve the organisational running of the church and liberate the Pastors to concentrate on people, prayer and ministry of the word.
