The position is outward-facing, providing a key point of contact for members of the public, the church congregation and its volunteers, as well as for those who hire our premises for community events and recordings.  It is important that you are fully supportive of our vision and values, will be committed to helping fulfil that vision, and be supportive of the ethos of the Church of England in general.
