Church Buildings Support Officer

2 weeks ago


Leeds, United Kingdom The Diocese of Leeds Full time

We are looking for someone to join our Church Buildings and Pastoral Reorganisation team as a Church Buildings Support Officer.

The Diocese of Leeds has been awarded partial funding for the post until the end of 2025, as part of the Archbishops’ Council’s Buildings for Mission Triennium Funding.

The Church Buildings Support Officer will provide direct buildings support to a focused group of churches, enabling their buildings to remain open and sustainable by providing a catalyst for "getting on top" of maintenance and improving facilities. This will enable churches to use their buildings for the wider benefit of the community as part of their holistic mission and will ensure the ongoing care and enhancement of these unique heritage assets. The postholder will look also to pilot small scale maintenance collectives and have an active role in training and learning communities, in order to increase the skills and confidence of volunteers tasked with the care of historic church buildings.

The postholder will work alongside colleagues operating the statutory work of the Diocesan Advisory Committee for the Care of Churches and be part of a broader national network of Church Buildings Support Officers, all partly funded by the Archbishops’ Council. Additionally, the postholder will work closely with staff delivering the Diocese’s _Barnabas: Encouraging Confidence _framework. _Barnabas_ launched in 2023 and includes delivering simple and effective support on various practical matters in order to allow churches across the Diocese to thrive.

Bringing their experience of working with historic buildings, the Church Buildings Support Officer will play a key role in delivering the “buildings support” branch of _Barnabas_. Through this, they will have the opportunity to use their knowledge and skills to assist churches where they are struggling with practical matters, helping release their energy for mission and outreach.

The post is for a fixed term, until the end 2025. A competitive package includes a competitive salary, flexi-time scheme, reimbursement of car and travelling expenses, an 8% non-contributory pension with an additional 5% matched contributions, hybrid working (50%), and 25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays and four customary days a year (between Christmas and New Year).

**Salary**: £32,110.00-£38,338.00 per year

**Benefits**:

- Company pension
- Cycle to work scheme
- Enhanced maternity leave
- Flexitime
- Transport links
- Work from home
