**Job summary**:
The Cabinet Office is the centre of Government, and this post forms part of a small team based in the Cabinet Secretary Group right at its centre. The team’s head is the Prime Minister’s Appointments Secretary. This post supports the team in its work of making appointments to Church of England Dioceses, Cathedrals and parishes and to Lieutenancies across the United Kingdom.

**Job description**:
**Church Appointments**:The Crown is responsible for a range of ecclesiastical appointments in the Church of England. This is for historical and constitutional reasons, which go back hundreds of years, based on the fact that the Church of England is the Established Church and The King its Supreme Governor. As well as Archbishops, Bishops and some Cathedral Deans, these appointments include 10 residentiary canonries, and priests in 200 Crown parishes. The Lord Chancellor’s ecclesiastical appointments (which originate from the Crown) include a further 10 residentiary canonries and 450 parishes. There are also a range of other appointments which include Church Estates Commissioners, the Chair and members of the Churches Conservation Trust and the Lord High Commissioner of the Church of Scotland.

The role of the Executive Officer is to help ensure the smooth running of the processes for key Crown appointments. A self-motivated individual who enjoys working with external stakeholders, you will be looking for an unusual civil service role that provides an opportunity to engage with high profile areas of work encapsulating both the Church of England and the Crown. You will need to be comfortable working at pace, as the volumes of work can fluctuate according to the demand, which is driven by the resignation and retirement of the current post holders, and be capable of a high standard of administrative detail. Whilst there are historical and legal reasons for much of the processes, there is still scope for imagination and creativity to shape the way in which the work is done.

Alongside your work supporting church appointments, you will also be responsible for processing the appointments of Lord-Lieutenants, Vice Lord-Lieutenants and Deputy Lieutenants; liaising with Lieutenancies to support funding bids; processing the payment of Lieutenancy expenses and the supply of Lieutenancy stationery; and for providing PA support to the Prime Minister’s Appointments Secretary.

**Responsibilities**
- Supporting the Assistant Head in the completion of the appointments process for Archbishops, Bishops, Deans and Suffragan Bishops, including developing strong working relationships with stakeholders in No10, Buckingham Palace, Church House and Lambeth Palace.
- Supporting the Assistant Head in the completion of the appointments process for clergy to their benefice roles in liaison with No 10, Buckingham Palace and the Lord Chancellor’s Private Office.
- Maintaining records for church appointments in line with GDPR and retention policy.
- Supporting benefices following interview panels including liaising with Dioceses on press announcements and to arrange representation at installation services.
- Processing Lord-Lieutenant, Vice Lord-Lieutenant and Deputy Lieutenant appointments, and supporting Lieutenancy appointments in the Devolved Administrations.
- Ensuring Lord-Lieutenants’ personal office expenses and travel costs are paid and stationery supplied.
- Closely working with Lieutenancies to agree and set budgets for the upcoming financial year.
- Responding to requests regarding pastoral reorganisations and suspensions.

Providing PA support for the Prime Minister’s Appointments Secretary

**Person specification**:
The following skills and experience will be required:

- Good communication skills in both verbal and written forms;
- Resourceful and capable of working on own initiative;
- Ability to manage competing priorities and deadlines;
- Attention to detail and high level of accuracy;
- Capable of dealing with complex processes;
- Confidentiality

Training and support will be provided with the technical aspects of the role. However a basic knowledge of the Church of England, including a general understanding of church language and vocabulary, would be helpful.

**Behaviours**:
We'll assess you against these behaviours during the selection process:

- Managing a Quality Service
- Delivering at Pace
- Working Together

**Benefits**:

- Learning and development tailored to your role.
- An environment with flexible working options.
- A culture encouraging inclusion
