PART-TIME ADMINISTRATOR FOR THE HEMPNALL GROUP OF PARISHES AND THE BROOKE BENEFICE

Due to the retirement of the present postholder at the end of August, we are looking to appoint a skilled administrator to work for 14 hours per week (currently 3.5 hours a day on Monday to Thursday mornings but other patterns possible). The work involves a range of administrative duties to assist the clergy and designated church officers and to help with the various communication needs of our two multi-parish Church of England benefices.

The person appointed will require sound administrative and organisational abilities along with keyboard and IT skills, including a creative approach to producing relevant material using desktop publishing software. Good communication skills are particularly important, since the postholder provides a first-line response to a wide range of enquiries received from within and beyond the church community and must be able to handle these with sensitivity and discretion. Flexibility and an ability to prioritise are also needed.

The successful applicant will be based in the office adjoining Hempnall Rectory, with the possibility of some occasional home working. The annualised salary is £10,082, including 28 days of paid leave (pro-rata).

The Hempnall Group of Parishes and the Brooke Benefice are committed to safeguarding and safer recruitment. This employment will be subject to the completion of a Confidential Declaration Form and a satisfactory DBS check.

For further information and the application form, please see links at the bottom of this page

Closing date (by email): 11am Wednesday July 22nd

Interviews: Tuesday July 28th or Friday July 31st

Post available from: 25th August 2026
