The Vacancy
We are offering this unique opportunity to support the Methodist Church in delivering its strategic plan to make the best use of its property portfolio in local communities across the country.
Working alongside the Director and colleagues within the Property Support team, you will be a crucial team member providing professional guidance and support to Trustees nationally. Focussing on the unique skills you bring to the team, you will help guide them on matters including the planning, development and commercial potential for their property assets to enable them to make informed choices and contribute to the promotion and delivery of the Methodist Church’s property strategy.
Through your specific knowledge and experience, you will also have input into the provision of guidance, advice, communications, training and good practice for District Property Officers and the wider Methodist Church on property matters.
This is a hybrid/remote working role, with the post holder required to travel to our offices in London, Manchester and any other locations around the country as necessary.

We are looking for someone who wants to make a positive contribution to the work of the Property Support team and be equally comfortable collaborating in a team environment or under your own initiative. You will be an experienced professional development surveyor or equivalent, with a record of developing and implementing innovative and practical strategies for the management, use, reuse and development of property.
You will be called upon to work with a range of internal and external stakeholders including committees and therefore a mix of excellent communication, interpersonal and influencing skills are essential.
We are a collaborative team and therefore welcome applications from those who wish to contribute to the work of the team in a positive and proactive way.
