Church Support Administrator

Churches, chapels and meeting houses are impressive, exciting and surprising places. Whether for worship, quiet reflection, access to critical services or space to explore, churches are a priceless part of the UK’s heritage and of its social fabric.

Our vision is that church buildings across the UK are well-maintained, open to everyone, sustainable and valued.

Working on the ground across all four nations, we support churches of all denominations, helping them to thrive. As a charity, we are independently funded and rely on the generosity of our supporters to carry out this work.

Are you expertly organised? Do you enjoy the administration required to help colleagues work efficiently? Are you able to multi-task and keep calm when there is a lot to achieve? We offer support and advice to churches and volunteers throughout the United Kingdom and administer highly regarded grants programmes to support their projects. You will provide effective administration to the Trust’s grant programmes and support services and assist the Church Support Officers in delivering their work across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Your work will ensure the smooth running of an efficient and responsive team so that our work is delivered according to best-practice standards.

We are looking for an organised individual with an excellent phone manner and IT and administrative skills. You should be able to plan your own workload to meet deadlines and prioritise tasks. Your main responsibilities will include answering/redirecting enquiries, checking the eligibility of new applications and logging information received, carrying out due diligence and processing grant payment claims, and keeping the Church Engagement section of our website up to date, as well as providing support for meetings, events and awards as directed.

In return for the right candidate, we offer a competitive salary, attractive, historic offices near Westminster Abbey, a hybrid working policy, and a friendly team environment where your contribution will be appreciated and your skills can be grown. The role would suit someone who is looking for their first role or equally someone who has a lot of experience and genuinely enjoys varied but routine ‘back-office’ work.
