You will manage the daily operation of the church office and provide administrative support to the wider team and act as the first point of contact for telephone, email and in-person enquiries, ensuring a professional and welcoming experience for members of the public and visitors.

Key duties include supporting the implementation of systems, manage invoices and records, and creating clear guidance documents. Also to review, repair, and improve office systems, processes, and administrative procedures.

You will be an experienced Office Manager who has successfully shaped, improved, and organised office functions in previous roles. You will be confident working autonomously, making decisions and managing priorities without extensive supervision. Strong communications skills, and a collaborative approach to working with staff, volunteers, and the wider community is key for this role.
