  • Work with the Finance Manager to develop and monitor budgets and identify areas for cost optimisation.
  • Engage in the life of the Church to develop and maintain positive staff relationships, the organisational culture and connections with the congregation and community.

    • Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
      As a result of our Christian ethos, this post is covered by an Occupational Requirement under Part 1 of Schedule 9 to the Equality Act 2010. The successful candidate will be expected to be an active Christian who will play a key role in the leadership of the church so understands the need to apply their Christian faith in the context of the work.
