About The Role
– Overseeing the security of the site and those using it, and helping set up and pack down furniture from activities such as our regular services.
– Ensuring the safety and cleanliness of the site during and after different activities, including helping clearing up, taking on light cleaning duties and maintaining the kitchen for example by helping with washing up and emptying bins.
– Acting as First Aider and a first point of contact for queries or concerns about the site (such as operating the heating or lighting systems).
We will provide additional training necessary to do the job such as First Aid and safeguarding training. SKC is committed to safeguarding the welfare and protection of children and vulnerable adults.
This role is subject to a satisfactory Basic DBS check. The role will require undertaking relevant Diocese of London safeguarding training, if a current certificate is not already held, which will be arranged by the Line Manager.

– From time to time as required acting as Events Verger for major services and external hires (such as concerts or room bookings). This may include setting up furniture for events, opening and locking up the church, assisting with queries about facilities, and acting as First Aider.
– Being a friendly and approachable ‘face’ of St Katharine Cree to the public and our community, and working as part of the team as required for internal events.
– Out of term time and during quiet periods, attending to routine site maintenance to help ensure the church, Hall, and Garden remain in a clean and cared-for condition. For example, changing light bulbs, tidying leaves, cleaning radiator filters, and jet washing paths.
– Handling minor issues which arise as appropriate and reporting anything significant to the Church Administrator and Churchwarden.
We are looking for someone who can demonstrate:
– Complete trustworthiness and integrity.
– Reliability and punctuality.

– A disciplined and diligent approach to handling responsibilities.
– Being sensible and proactive in identifying solutions to practical problems.
Equal Opportunities
The Diocese of London is committed to creating and sustaining a diverse and inclusive workforce which represents our context and wider community. We are aware that those of Global Majority Heritage/United Kingdom Minority Ethnic (GMH/UKME) and disabled people are currently under-represented among our clergy and workforce, and we particularly encourage applications from those with the relevant skills and experience that will increase this representation.
