The Role
Sitting within the Discipleship and Social Justice team, this role provides support to three diverse and exciting areas of Church of England parish ministry. Generous Giving helps parishes to raise finances to fund their mission and ministry, Social Justice enables churches to practice their faith by supporting their communities, and Environment ensures that churches are able to make informed choices to reduce their carbon footprint and promote biodiversity.
You will enable these areas by supporting the parish advisers, through communicating with church volunteers, providing resources, and organising/recording project engagement and training.

You will have previous administrative experience, strong attention to detail, and the ability to meet deadlines while prioritising tasks and handling sensitive and confidential information.
You will be an effective team player with a service-focused attitude, self-motivation, organisation skills, and a proactive approach. Understanding and empathy with the Church of England's work are also essential. You will have experience with online booking platforms, video conferencing, minute-taking, event organisation, and working with volunteers. You will excel in creative problem-solving and maintaining good relationships with internal and external stakeholders
If you have customer service experience, experience working with volunteers, familiarity with record keeping, and proven proficiency in using Excel for record-keeping purposes then you would be ideal for this role.

The Organisation
