We are looking for someone to join our Church Buildings and Pastoral Reorganisation team as a Maintenance Collective Coordinator.
The Diocese of Leeds has been awarded a Church Buildings Management Partnerships grant from the Archbishops’ Council, which has provided funding for this post for the period of eighteen months.
The Maintenance Collective Coordinator will work alongside the Church Buildings Support Officer to run two pilot maintenance collectives, supporting PCCs to care for their churches by encouraging collective working.
They will have the opportunity to be involved in a nationally innovative project which it is hoped will become a model for churches across the country to manage and maintain their unique buildings as assets for mission. They will play a key role in this pilot project, including the negotiation of contracts between PCCs and contractors, thereby building their practical knowledge and experience in the heritage and built environment.
The coordinator will be key to ensuring good communication between stakeholders including PCCs, diocesan officers, contractors and volunteers, to enable the success of the pilots and learning from them.
The successful candidate must be self-motivated and come to administrative tasks with a creative approach and eye to improvements. They must have excellent interpersonal skills, with the ability to work in a team and to act as a positive first point of contact with people using our services. They must have excellent communication and organisational skills, with good attention to detail.
This post is for a fixed term, until the end of 2026. The package includes a competitive salary, flexi-time scheme, reimbursement of travelling expenses, an 8% non-contributory pension with an additional 5% matched contributions, hybrid working (50%), and 25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays and four customary days a year (between Christmas and New Year).
Closing Date for Applications: Midnight 6 May 2025
