Church of England: Church Buildings Adviser

Editor News

Salary: £33,441
Location: Clifton Moor, York

This is a wonderful opportunity to play a key role in maintaining and developing church buildings. Our churches range from the modest to the internationally important. Over 50 percent are Grade I or II* listed, from the tiny but perfect Skelton St Giles, to the majesty of our twelve major churches including Beverley Minster and Selby Abbey.

Church buildings are both a critical asset and a major driver of cost for us. You will inspire vision and enable action in nurturing and developing our churches, and advise parishes on managing running costs and routine maintenance. You will support the hundreds of volunteers caring for places of worship, and facilitate the Diocesan Advisory Committee in exercising its statutory duties in.

You’ll be conversant with legislation and conservation practice, and the arts and crafts associated with churches. You’ll be able to apply your knowledge intelligently and imaginatively to facilitate creative solutions. You will have empathy with the Christian faith and a desire to serve in the Diocese of York.
