About the Role

The organisation aims to develop a strategy and plans across Sussex, leading to a major application for funding from the national church. The Bishops are the key leaders in the diocese, but the work of drawing the strategy together and presenting the case for funding falls to the Diocesan Secretary (effectively CEO of the support organisation based in Hove). The Executive Assistant plays a crucial role in creating additional capacity to support this effort.

You will coordinate and carry out projects and analysis, primarily working with team leaders and others in the diocesan office, as well as across the diocese. You will also provide some executive administrative support.

• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to clearly explain needs and gain support from colleagues.
• Initiative and follow-through to succeed, demonstrated through past experiences, hobbies, or activities.
• A passion for helping the church thrive and a commitment to our mission of seeing people across Sussex know, love, and follow Jesus.

About the Organisation

The Diocese's vision is to help people within the Diocese to know, love, and follow Jesus. Based in Hove and serving over 360 parishes, 155 church schools, and the wider community, this role is ideal for someone who supports the ethos, aims, and objectives of the Diocese and the Church of England.

Benefits include:

• Opportunities to work remotely part of the week under the DBF’s remote working policy.
• 28 days of annual leave, plus bank holidays and 2 privilege days per year.
• Flexi-time, free parking, the ride to work scheme.
• Membership of the Church Worker’s Pension Scheme with employer contributions.
