**What you’ll be doing**:
We are recruiting a Parish Administrator for our West Green parish who will support the Parish Priest and his team in the efficient running of the parish.

You will be responsible for co-ordinating parish communications, undertaking the day-to-day administration of the parish, and aiding in the organisation and support of both liturgical and other events.

Furthermore, you will have responsibilities surrounding the parish accounts and planned giving. Utilising the Diocesan database “OPAS”, you will enter all income and expenditure, and also complete monthly bank reconciliations to ensure that the accounts are accurate and up to date.

You’ll love working in a front-of-house role, with an acute attention to detail, and will have excellent communication skills both written and verbally. To be successful in this role, you will need to be able to work methodically, and thrive both in a small team and when working independently.
