Details of Employment:

The Churches in the Swansea and Brecon Diocese have recently restructured into 14 working groups or Ministry Areas . The clerics and volunteers within the Ministry Area share gifts and skills across its churches to manage its assets and co-ordinate its activities. Each Ministry Area will be a charity in its own right, with a Board of Trustees.

Supporting these new Trustee bodies are a brand-new network of Administrators, employed centrally as part of a wider team of the Diocesan finance and administration staff, but located locally within its communities. Previous experience and involvement within the community of the Ministry Area applied for will be beneficial, and applicants should provide details within their application form.

Our Diocese spans approx. 130 miles from the tip of the Gower peninsula, through the urban areas of Swansea, across Brecon and the Beacons and into rural areas of Powys, through to Rhayader and Knighton in the North of the Diocese. Each of these new administrator roles are located independently, within its local Ministry Area. The roles may include periods of lone working but electronic connection to the wider staff for support and colleagueship will always be available.
