Due to the retirement of the current Diocesan Registrar, the Bishop of Derby is seeking to appoint a solicitor with good interpersonal skills and proven legal competence to be her Diocesan Registrar with effect from Summer 2021.

The Diocese of Derby is diverse and dynamic, covering the entirety of Derbyshire and a few parishes in Staffordshire, serving just under one million people.

The diocese is currently going through a time of significant change as it moves from two archdeaconries to a possible three, restructuring the number and deployment of its clergy and the composition of its parishes.

The Diocesan Registrar is expected to provide advice and services covering a wide range of matters and to do so through a network of personal relationships at all levels across the diocese, including regular contact with the bishop, senior staff, Derby Diocesan Board of Finance (DDBF) and parishes.

The Diocesan Registrar will be a qualified solicitor in good standing and will be a communicant member of the Church of England.

Applications close at 5pm on 25 April 2021.  

Interviews will be held on 4 June 2021.

Please see the Brief for Appointment of New Diocesan Registrar document for more information.
