St. Paul’s Church is ideally situated in the popular Jewellery Quarter as a venue for the arts that attracts people from the local community, and across Birmingham, to enjoy music and other art forms in a beautiful venue. We have a good relationship with a number of local organisations, including schools, Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, local choirs and other Birmingham based music groups. We also partner with a national organisation who bring regular concerts to a wide audience, spanning many genres of music. We are looking forward to widening the reach our events have, and introducing some new plans in the coming months. As the programme of events grows, we are excited to extend our team, and we are looking for a flexible individual who could join the team to be available for events as required. Your role will be to welcome hirers, be present during the event when necessary, and to lock up afterwards.
