Introduction
The Diocese of Truro is committed to resourcing and encouraging church communities in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly and needs a highly skilled person to encourage a Diocesan-wide spirit of generosity.
We are looking to appoint a Generous Giving Adviser to implement our generous giving strategy in alignment with the National Giving Strategy. This aims to broaden the understanding of and engagement with stewardship across the diocese and help build a thriving and generous church.
The majority of the role will be about getting out and meeting with Parochial Church Councils (PCCs), treasurers, clergy, and congregations to encourage and enable them to identify and then find the resources, both financial and non-financial, necessary to fulfill their mission. The role involves the continuing promotion and take-up of the national Parish Giving Scheme and technology for giving.
You will have a passion for mission and stewardship, excellent communication skills, the ability to inspire and engage, and confidence in talking about faith and giving. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who loves working with people to make a real difference to the church communities that make up our diocese. This role will focus on working across West Cornwall to complement colleagues serving the rest of the county.
This role offers the opportunity to make a lasting impact in an interesting position as part of a unique organization that prides itself on being a supportive employer. At the Diocese of Truro, we value work-life balance and employee wellbeing. We offer additional benefits such as flexible working, up to 26 days holiday plus bank holidays, a range of wellbeing activities, and the Church of England Pension Scheme with 9-15% employer contributions.
Due to the nature of the role, there is an occupational requirement for the role holder to be a practising Christian.
Please note that whilst some home working is permitted, this role cannot be done remotely and we do not pay staff to commute from outside Cornwall.
We welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons. However, we would particularly welcome applications from those with a disability or from a UK minority ethnic background, as these groups are currently under-represented in our staff.
SAFEGUARDING - EVERYONE MATTERS - EVERYONE’S RESPONSIBILITY
The Diocese of Truro strives to be trauma-informed and is committed to developing safer policies, cultures, and practices.
