Worcester, United Kingdom Diocese of Worcester Full time

Could you be called to apply for your next leadership role in finance, working for the Church of England in the Diocese of Worcester?

 If you are looking for a director level finance role in an inspiring environment, then this could be the opportunity for you. You will lead a small friendly team of six who ensure we exercise good stewardship over the resources entrusted to us.  You will also be part of and work alongside an innovative and supportive senior management team. This role has responsibility for:   

  • Oversight of operational financial functions including statutory reporting and compliance
  • Steering and advising on current and future financial strategy and policy.
  • Supporting churches in their financial management alongside the oversight of trust funds vested in the board.

To meet the challenge, you will have a recognised professional qualification and be able to show a successful track record in a senior finance role in the financial, business or charitable sector (you will need knowledge of charity law in relation to reporting requirements).  You will need to have managed the annual process and delivered the statutory accounts of a charity of a reasonable size. 

We are a collaborative team so communication is key – you will be able to tell the story behind the numbers in an accessible way. If you have an ability to see and relate to the bigger picture whilst handling the detail brilliantly then that will be of real advantage.

The Diocese of Worcester is a great place to work with excellent holiday allowances and a very good pension. We want to give those who work for us the flexibility to balance their work and home lives well. 

Hours:         Monday to Friday with some work outside normal office hours, including evenings and occasional Saturdays as necessary.

Location:     Hybrid working – home and office based (central Worcester). This post will involve travel occasionally. A current driving licence is essential unless suitable alternative arrangements can be made.

To apply:     Please email your CV together with a covering letter providing evidence of how you meet the essential skills and experience we require (as outlined in the person specification in our application pack) This is an agile vacancy and, as such, may be closed with no notice, so if you are interested please apply immediately

The Church of England is committed to the safeguarding, care and nurture of everyone within our church community. In the Diocese of Worcester we follow and are committed to the Church of England's House of Bishops’ Safeguarding Policies and the relevant statutory legislation and guidance "Working together" to ensure the welfare of children and young people is paramount.

The Church of England is for everyone, and it is a priority for us to reflect the diversity of the community the Church serves across the whole diocese. We welcome all applications from interested and suitably qualified people, and particularly welcome applications from those of UK Minority Ethnic / Global Majority heritage and people with disabilities and women, who are underrepresented at this level in our team.
