With a background in administration and teamwork, the ideal candidate for the new post of Church Administrator will be sympathetic to the Christian faith and the Church of England, and enthusiastic about our parish’s mission, vision, and values.

You will be flexible and highly motivated in helping us deliver the new church strategy and modernise the working of the church office. You will be focused, able to work to deadlines, maintain good relationships, and communicate effectively.

You will need patience and sensitivity when dealing with visitors, alongside strong attention to detail, time management, and strategic thinking.

The church has identified the need to have some more professional oversight of our spaces and events, especially out of hours, which has given rise to the need for this new position. We are a busy site, comprising church spaces and church hall, with routine maintenance, tidying, and key management needing additional oversight due to increases in demand. You will be a key figure in helping the church be a safe place in which the whole community is welcomed.
This will be a zero hours position, worked flexibly, as the work is required, with an expectation of, onaverage, around 2 hours a week. This position may be offered to more than one person, to work as a caretaking team.
