Major Churches Support Officer

3 weeks ago


University of York, United Kingdom University of York Full time

This is a unique new opportunity to play a leading role in working with and supporting some of England’s most special, significant and well-loved places of worship. Major Churches can be the size of small cathedrals and often make a considerable civic, cultural and economic contribution to their communities, but with far fewer available resources at their disposal. The creation of this exciting new role recognises the scale of opportunities - and challenges - they face, and seeks to offer them dedicated support to address their particular needs. As Major Churches Support Officer you will be part of the team at The Centre for the Study of Christianity & Culture (CSCC), working with them and the Church of England to operate nationally.

CSCC is an internationally-recognised research centre offering advice and support on the historical significance, interpretation, community engagement, economic contribution, and future sustainability of cathedrals and churches of all denominations. It is part of the History Department at the University of York, based in dedicated offices in the Berrick Saul Building. The Major Churches Officer will be mentored and line managed by Dr Louise Hampson, Head of Heritage Partnership and Research and Project Lead. You will work closely with other centre staff including CSCC Director, Professor Kate Giles, and CSCC Research Associate, Becky Payne, as well as Church of England staff, including their new Liaison Officer.

The overall purpose of the role is to work with a defined, representative group of Major Churches to explore and articulate the challenges and opportunities they face, to collate relevant resources and gaps in provision, and to identify future needs. As part of the role, you will engage with the Major Churches Network (MCN) as they also explore their capacity to provide long-term support to these distinctive and special places of worship.

**Interview date**: to be confirmed

The University strives to be diverse and inclusive - a place where we can ALL be ourselves.
