Welcome Sanjit Sil as the St Barnabas Operations Manager

It is gives me great pleasure to let you that we have appointed a part-time operations manager. Sanjit Sil will start work in the parish office on Monday 12 June. 

Sanjit says "My experience in the capacity of an Operations Manager began when running Empty Pockets Theatre Company in 1993. This led to me gaining further experience in this area as Manager of Redlees Studios in Isleworth. I have significant experience in the field of managing community arts projects as a result of working at Watermans, CIP and the Arts Council England. Presently, I am a Tutor with Learn Ealing where I deliver ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) classes to a diverse range of students that includes Refugees and Asylum Seekers. I very much look forward to working at St Barnabus Church. See you all soon!"

The appointment panel was particularly impressed with Sanjit's proven track record of running community organisations in West London together with many years' experience in arts management and teaching. I look forward to welcoming him onto the team. As Sanjit transitions into the role parish office hours will be:

Monday: 10–2 pm

Wednesday: 10–2 pm

Friday: 2:30–4:30 pm

We have been without a parish administrator for nearly three years. This is remarkable given the demand and complexity of a church like St Barnabas. Thanks must go to Peter Haisman, Nick Barnes, Helen Charlemagne, Sue Hudson, Mtrs. Fiona Jack and Valerie Aitken, Robin Griffiths and many others who have ensured that bookings, event coordination and other key aspects of parish administration kept functioning as we recovered financially from the pandemic. 

Please pray for Sanjit as he prepares to start at St Barnabas and join me in supporting him as he finds his feet in this role. 

With every blessing,

Fr. Justin
