This role will take the lead in planning for a sustainable long-term financial future and assist with any further building works. You will work with and advise the Board of trustees on financial matters as they discern the vision and steps for the next phase in the life of the church.

You will be highly organised with strong administrative and financial management skills, with experience of office working and processes. You will be passionate about the church, its mission and ministry, and be excited to work with a range of people.
