The Diocese of Lichfield is seeking to appoint a full time Officer to take our development programs to the next level.

As Director of the Central Secretariat and Clerk to the Synod, you will act as the equivalent of “Company Secretary” for the Archbishop’s Council charity; overseeing policy work on how the Church organises and governs itself. You will also support the Chief Executive, the Secretary General, across the range of his responsibilities, including deputising where necessary on issues within the Church and with key stakeholders outside the Church.  

We are seeking a Ministry Area Finance Adviser to provide support to our 29 Ministry Areas within the diocese to develop and implement our shared vision. This is a key area within our Vision, together with new diocesan structures to make our central decision-making more streamlined, dynamic and strategic.

This role is pivotal in developing the strategic priorities and ensuring the delivery of the objectives of the ministry to which God has called the Archbishop of Canterbury, in close cooperation with the Archbishop of York and other members of the senior team, and helps ensure the leadership and ministry of the Archbishop and his staff, reflect the values of the Gospel of Christ, in humility, service and sacrifice.
