Executive Assistant to the Patronage Team

Description

Appointing clergy across the Church of England

CPAS has been involved in patronage for more than a century and has now become, through the providence of God, the largest patron in the Church of England with almost 700 patronages spread across every diocese.

Our patronage team is looking for an executive assistant who will relish working across the whole breadth of the Church of England to help appoint clergy to every kind of parish. This exciting and rewarding role will allow you to make a significant impact at a national level to the health and growth of the Church of England. You will have a passion to see local churches led well, thriving, and reaching out with the Gospel to their community.

The team needs excellent, fast-moving and responsive administrative support, so we are seeking an EA of significant ability, with wide experience of negotiating between different stakeholders, proficient in administration and communication, of a calm and personable nature, and with some understanding of the Church of England. If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!

Due to the nature of the role there is an Occupational Requirement that the postholder is a committed Christian under Part 1 of Schedule 9 of the Equality Act 2010, an active member of a local church, and in agreement with the CPAS Basis of Faith.

This post will be subject to a satisfactory Basic DBS check and completion of a Declaration of Suitability form. You must have evidence of your right to work in the UK.

Application deadline: Wednesday 19 March at midnight.

Interviews are scheduled for Thursday 10 April at our offices in Coventry.
