About Us

The Diocese of York is the Church of England between the Rivers Humber and Tees, and from the Yorkshire coast westwards to around the A1. We are seeking to Live Christ's Story (LCS) by becoming more like Christ, reaching people we currently don't, growing churches of missionary disciples, and transforming our finances and structures.

We're looking for a practitioner firmly grounded in domestic property management to be one of two Property Surveyors, in the Property Team on an initial two-year fixed-term contract.

About the Role

Reporting to the Head of Property, and regularly liaising with the existing Property Surveyor, you will be responsible for the day-to-day management of our operational properties in your area, including writing specification of works, managing contracts, ordering planned and reactive maintenance, and surveying properties.

The role offers a wide range of responsibilities and opportunities to engage with all aspects of managing a varied property and land estate. You will bring insight and know-how based on a proven track record as a surveyor, and be a member of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors or similar – or working towards it.

Key Responsibilities
  • Write and oversee vacancy refurbishment programmes from inception to completion.
  • Periodically perform Quinquennial Inspections of properties, identifying and costing upcoming maintenance works.
  • Develop and deliver an ongoing planned maintenance programme for the operational property portfolio.
  • Prepare budgets and annual plans, and contribute to the upkeep of the property database and other records.
  • Be responsible for the procurement of repair and maintenance projects.
  • Provide asset management support as required in relation to other diocesan property.
  • Ensure works are undertaken in a timely and cost-effective manner.
  • Provide advice to parishes on the maintenance of their non-ecclesiastical buildings.
  • Attend meetings and be involved with relevant diocesan initiatives and projects.
  • Participate in the annual review process and appropriate continuing professional development, including participation in professional networks.
  • Contribute to the wider work of the Diocese, as appropriate.
About you

We're looking for someone who is:

  • Highly organised with excellent attention to detail.
  • Able to manage multiple priorities and work independently.
  • Comfortable working with IT systems, including databases.
  • Knowledgeable about legislation and regulations.
  • Qualified in Health and Safety.
  • Confident with data entry, record keeping, and scheduling.
Why Join us?

You'll be part of a small, supportive team committed to serving the Church's mission through high-quality property stewardship. Based at our Clifton Moor office in York, this is a great opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the work of the Diocese in a surveyor role.

We are committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion and welcome applications from disabled candidates and those from UKME heritage as these groups are under-represented in our staff.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people, and vulnerable adults. All employees are expected to share this commitment. You will be required to undertake safeguarding training, and this role may be subject to a DBS check.
