The Vacancy

We are offering this unique and exciting opportunity to join in the work of the Connexional Property Support and Environmental Engagement teams and the wider Methodist Church in helping to deliver the strategic target to make all our church property net zero by 2030.

You will be based in the Property Support team, working alongside the Director and colleagues within the team to provide the essential support and guidance the team offers to Trustees, Ministers, Connexional colleagues and the wider church.  You will also be working closely with other Connexional colleagues outside the team, particularly the Director of Environmental Engagement and Action for Hope Implementation Officer.

In particular, your role will provide a crucial focus at a critical time - helping to guide Trustees and Ministers on how to make our church property net zero.  Enabling them to make informed choices and contribute to the promotion and delivery of the Methodist Church’s Action for Hope 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 net zero property matters.

This is an office or home-based role, with the post holder focussing on supporting churches nationally.  You may be required to travel to our offices in Church House, London and other locations around the country as necessary.

About You

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 have experience supporting a senior team, and preferably have relevant knowledge for the role such as environmental, climate or property in this context.

As the role will underpin and contribute to supporting the team’s work with external colleagues, particularly the District Property Officer network, it is essential that you are comfortable in engaging with a range of stakeholders, and have excellent organisational skills, particularly in terms of resourcing and training.

The role will be very collaborative with team colleagues, and therefore experience and ability to plan, research and assimilate new information alongside the analysis and delivery of projects will be an essential quality.

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.

If you meet most but not all the requirements, we still encourage you to apply. You may have other skills and experience that may be helpful to the team.  If you want to know more about the role, then we will be happy to answer any queries – see the contact details below.
