All about us:
At the Diocesan Office, we take our commitment to our staff and the people we serve seriously, and we pride ourselves on creating and maintaining a Christ-like environment for our staff to thrive. Not all of our roles require staff to be Christian, but abiding by our values of Christ-like, Community, Integrity and Service, is crucial to preserving an environment of care and support.
We have been awarded Disability Confident Employer status, which we are really proud of, as this shows that no matter what each of our differences are, together, and with the right support, everyone can thrive and achieve.

Vacancies
Strategic Programme Lead
35 hours per week
£48,000.00 per annum plus 8.5% Employer Pension Contributions
This is a fixed term contract of 6 months
Contractual Location is the Diocesan Offices in Coventry
(The role will require travel across the diocese including some evening and weekend work. Therefore, the postholder must hold a current driving licence and have use of a vehicle or have the means to travel around the diocese independently.)
In her first year as our Diocesan Bishop, Bishop Sophie has led a wide-ranging process of listening and engagement to get to know our diocese. This included visits to each of the 11 deaneries and cathedral, conversations with lay and ordained leaders and engagement with chaplaincies, prisons, schools, hospitals and community groups.
There have been different phases and stages which have led to a clear articulation of a refreshed diocesan vision and strategic areas of focus that will transform mission and ministry in this diocese. This work has been shaped through Diocesan Synod and Bishop’s Council, and a prayerful period in Advent Waiting on God and Watching for the Signs of the Kingdom.
We are seeking a capable and experienced programme manager to put in place the necessary project management framework to help us develop the strategy and the bid to the Strategic Mission & Ministry Investment Board (SMMIB).
It is an Occupational Requirement (Schedule 9 part 1 of the Equality Act 2010) of this post to have a committed Christian faith because the postholder will take an active role in the mission and ministry of the Church of England in the diocese and share in regular patterns of prayer and worship as part of the Bishop’s Senior Staff Team.
