Parish Administrator
Administrative Support Needed: Our three churches (LG, GG & Nettleden) are looking for administrative support. The tasks include longer term planning including rotas for ministers, services and, in LG, will include preparing volunteer rotas, service updates on our website and providing information for other ad hoc services usually determined by the church calendar. There will be regular liaison with our new vicar once appointed. This self-employed role would offer flexible working arrangements to suit the demands of the modern family, caregivers or those with other commitments.
