Property in Guildford Diocese is much more than a matter of bricks and mortar. It’s about enhancing the morale and wellbeing of our clergy and their families (our greatest asset), as they live and work in diverse communities across the diocese, and learn to call their vicarage a home. It’s about helping churches make the most of their property assets for the mission and ministry to which God’s called them. It’s about overseeing our whole property portfolio as a diocese, and unlocking its potential for the future. It’s integral to our vision of a Transforming Church, Transforming Lives.

As Property Assistant (21 hours per week) you’ll work closely with our Property Maintenance Co-ordinator, assisting with the effective management and maintenance of our buildings and land. You will work closely with other colleagues in our small in-house property team delivering a key function of the support we provide to our parishes from our Operations team based at Church House Guildford.

We are looking for someone with previous experience in a busy administrative role, great IT skills and someone who can work both by themselves and as part of a team. A practical understanding of property maintenance including roofs, heating, plumbing & electrical systems, building fabric and external maintenance issues e.g. fences, trees, drains, would be an advantage. But most of all, we are looking for a colleague who shares the missional passion and heart to reach and serve communities in this place.
