We’re looking for a highly organised and motivated individual to join the Diocese of Derby as interim Assistant DAC Secretary.

This is initially a 2-month fixed term opportunity with the possibility of extension.

This is a fantastic opportunity to support the work of the Diocesan Advisory Committee (DAC), helping parishes care for and develop their church buildings in line with our diocesan mission and strategy. You’ll work closely within the Buildings for Mission team alongside the DAC Secretary and other colleagues to ensure smooth operations, clear communication, and effective coordination of faculty applications and building projects.

Experience in a church or heritage-related setting is a bonus, but not essential.

The role is based in Church House, Derby, and we welcome hybrid working.

• Hours: 21 hours per week
• Salary: £19,290 p.a. based on experience
• Reporting to: Church Buildings Support Officer

Closing date is 15 October 2025.

If you’re passionate about supporting the mission of the Church and want to play a key role in the care of our historic buildings, we’d love to hear from you.

To apply or find out more, please contact Mandy Francis, mandy.francis@derby.anglican.org or visit our website.
