Project Manager – All Saints Haggerston Heritage Project

Project Manager – All Saints Haggerston Heritage Project We are seeking an experienced and well‑organised Project Manager (part‑time) to lead the strategic delivery and coordination of A Living Heritage of Welcome—a one‑year resilience project supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund. This is a delivery‑focused, freelance role with a focus on heritage and building regeneration at All Saints Church in Hackney. The Project Manager will oversee all elements of the delivery programme, working closely with the Parochial Church Council at All Saints Church Haggerston, clergy, consultants and delivery partners to ensure that project milestones, budgets, governance, and reporting requirements are met. The role offers a unique opportunity to support a faith‑rooted, community‑facing project that integrates tangible and intangible heritage, creative co‑production, and long‑term sustainability planning for a Grade II listed church in Hackney. About the Project Running from the start of 2026 for 12 months, A Living Heritage of Welcome is the development phase of a larger capital renewal programme. Phase 1 includes essential fabric works, architectural feasibility, a Net Zero plan, and a pilot engagement programme celebrating the diverse heritage of All Saints and the Haggerston community. The project celebrates heritage as both lived and built, with a special focus on Hackney’s carnival culture and migrant faith traditions. Community‑led storytelling, creative workshops, and intergenerational participation are central to the approach. The project also lays the groundwork for long‑term change: a capital transformation (Phase 2), governance strengthening, income diversification, and deeper community connections.
