About The Role
You will be joining us at an exciting phase of our church life as the Parish of Barnsbury moves forward in its mission and in major improvements to its church buildings.
The Administrator is often the first contact people have with the Church, so the role requires a cheerful, friendly, well-organised, person. You’ll be enthusiastic about our mission and extending God’s welcome to those you encounter in your work.
You’ll have initiative, in-depth experience of office organisation and systems, excellent IT skills and a “can do” attitude and will thrive working with and contributing to a friendly and supportive team of clergy and volunteers.
This could be a full-time role (40 hrs p-w), a job-share or other configuration for the right applicant(s). Please apply if you think you can support us here.
