Dear Order Members,
As you may know the current Chair of the Manchester Buddhist Centre, Silabodhi will be stepping down at the end of May 2024. We are now in the process of appointing our next Chair.
We are inviting applications from Order members by 23rd February 2024. Interviews will be at the start of the week of 4th March along with an opportunity for applicants to share their vision with local Order Members.
The role would ideally start in April. This central position at the MBC will provide spiritual, strategic and operational leadership for the Centre, ensuring a clear, inspired vision for its future direction whilst supporting a vibrant and healthy sangha.
The post is for 4 days a week, (the Centre team work a max 4 day week). We would want candidates to be willing to commit for a minimum of 5 years.
- Pay set at National Living Wage.
- Annual leave of 40 days, including all bank holidays.
- Retreat allowance £1,540 and allowance to cover Order fees.
- Employer’s contribution to ‘auto-enrolment’ pension scheme.
You also may know that the MBC is in the process of deciding whether to stay in our premises at Turner Street, or to move to another building to take the MBC into the future. We have been exploring both these options in a thorough and consultative way including with yourselves as well as with our new President, Lokeshvara. The process of consultation has been, and continues to be harmonious and fruitful. The Centre is financially stable and is home to our thriving and vibrant Sangha.
