Job description

The Diocese of Carlisle covers the whole of Cumbria - a vast and beautiful rural diocese stretching from the Solway Firth to the Yorkshire Dales. The Bishop of Penrith is a suffragan bishop within the episcopal team, working alongside the Bishop of Carlisle to provide oversight, pastoral care, and strategic leadership across this geographically dispersed diocese. The Bishop's office is a busy, purposeful environment, combining the rhythms of Christian ministry with the demands of institutional leadership.


As Executive Assistant, you will manage a complex and demanding diary, triage correspondence, draft official letters - including end of curacy letters - and ensure the Bishop is thoroughly briefed and prepared for every meeting, service, and visit. Alongside these core responsibilities, you will support the Bishop in matters relating to CDM cases, complaints, and safeguarding processes, working sensitively and with absolute discretion. You will also administer lay licences and authorisations, coordinate travel, provide hospitality to visitors to the Bishop's House, and take minutes as required.


The role demands someone who is highly organised, calm under pressure, and able to work with warmth and professionalism across a wide range of relationships - from colleagues at Church House to clergy, parishes, and external bodies across the county. An understanding of, and sympathy with, the Church of England and its structures would be a real asset.


This is a role for someone who finds meaning in enabling others to lead well - a person who takes quiet satisfaction in excellent administration, brings genuine hospitality to their work, and understands that behind every effective Bishop is a great EA.

Interviews will take place in person on May 11, 2026

  • Follow Safeguarding processes as per Diocesan Policy and liaise with Safeguarding lead on CDM safeguarding cases and ongoing safeguarding issues
  • Assist the Bishop with responding to any complaints as per the diocesan Complaints procedure
  • Maintain office systems, ensuring confidentiality and an efficient workflow.
  • Support the Bishop in hosting visitors and evening functions, creating a welcoming environment.
  • Undertake administrative tasks related to lay licences and authorisations.
  • A good educational background, preferably with a degree or relevant qualification.
  • Proven experience as an EA or PA, with a strong understanding of office procedures.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office and IT skills, with the ability to learn new systems.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a strong command of the English language.
  • Ability to work independently, manage a busy workload, and prioritise tasks effectively.
  • Strong organisational skills, attention to detail, and a commitment to confidentiality.
  • Sympathy for the Christian faith and an understanding of the Church of England
  • Adaptability, flexibility, and a team-oriented mindset.
  • Professional demeanour, representing the Church's values and mission.
  • A genuine interest in the Church's work and a desire to contribute to its growth.
