Do you have a passion for church buildings and their importance in the life of a community?
If so, joining our Mission Area Support Team could be for you! The Diocese of Sheffield is seeking to appoint two Church Buildings Officers to join our busy team.
Our new colleagues will bring practical, pragmatic and people focused approaches and a good working knowledge of architectural history but there may be a range of background experiences you might bring too! For example:
- Some understanding of design, or experience of adaptive reuse
- Grant fundraising
- Creating feasibility studies
- Report writing
- Buildings management
- Net Zero expertise.
No two days are the same in our team!
From the outset, you will be working alongside a wide range of colleagues from Diocesan Church House at Rotherham – both clergy and laity, building professionals and mission support workers – as well as sometimes with those specialist professionals who volunteer on the Diocesan Advisory Committee; and you will be out and about in the diocese regularly.
These roles are offered on a fixed term contract to December 2028. Although centrally employed, these roles will be deployed locally to support parishes. The Diocesan team has a supportive and empowering ethos and offers the opportunity for the successful candidate to experience a variety of geographies, architecture and diverse communities.
Please send your completed application form to recruitment@sheffield.anglican.org.
