As the Dioceses Secretary you will be a key part of the Diocese of Lincoln's mission to transform lives and make a difference
The Diocese of Lincoln is the Church of England in Greater Lincolnshire – from the Humber to the Wash and from the A1 to the North Sea. They are a family of churches serving the community, seeking to transform lives and reaching out to people with the good news of God’s love. Lincolnshire is the 2nd largest county in England, and the Diocese covers 2,670 square miles with a population of a little over 1 million. There are more than 600 ministers, paid and voluntary, lay and ordained, serving 181 benefices, 486 parishes, 625 church buildings and 142 church schools.
This role is a unique strategic leadership opportunity, where you will use your strong, operational, commercial and financial skill set to make a lasting and positive impact on the community. In this role you will work closely with the newly appointed Bishop to drive through and implement a new shared vision and methodology for a healthy and sustainable Church, known as ‘Time to Change Together’.
Therefore, to succeed in the role you will be a well-rounded professional, with a demonstrable track record and experience in finance, strategy, commercial and operational management. You will have:
- Proven ability to lead and deliver change, and strategy.
- Excellent interpersonal skills coupled with emotional intelligence
- Leadership in risk management and risk awareness
- Deal with conflict management and resolution.
- Forward thinking, able to prioritise unity and communion above personal church tradition.
In this role you can make a real difference and positive impact on the churches and communities of Greater Lincolnshire. It will be challenging but your success will and can be measured by the legacy you leave. You will be office-based and you will ideally live in Greater Lincolnshire, within an easy commute or be prepared to relocate to this amazing part of the country, which offers affordable housing, excellent education, and the best mix of both city and rural life.
