Looking to use and grow your skills and experience outside of the workplace? Looking for a new challenge with a real purpose?
The Diocese of Truro is the Church of England in Cornwall, and we are looking for professionals (current or retired) to share their talents with us. Particularly those with a strong financial background.
The diocese includes over 300 churches in more than 200 parishes across the whole of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly (and two lucky parishes in Devon). We are made up of thousands of volunteers and clergy working together to support our communities. The Truro Diocesan Board of Finance (TDBF) Ltd is responsible for supporting this work by providing governance, resources, and guidance. While the governance is led by the Bishops Diocesan Council, chaired by the Bishop of Truro, they are supported by volunteers bringing a wealth of expertise to a number of expert committees.
We are currently looking to recruit skilled and experienced volunteers to strengthen our governance. In particular, we seek a chartered accountant (or similarly qualified) to support the committee in its scrutiny of the work of the Diocese. This focuses particularly on the management of finances, assets and risk; ensuring that their use aligns with diocesan strategy and the requirements of law and good governance.
The role offers the opportunity to have a real impact on a large organisation that is present and active in every community in our county. We hold significant assets and responsibilities, which we take seriously, and want to engage the best, most able, individuals to hold us to account.
The time commitment varies depending on the role, but the committees meet monthly either online or as hybrid, so travel is not a barrier to participation.
The roles are not remunerated, but volunteers are encouraged to reclaim all necessary expenses of office. This includes things like travel, stationery and childcare to attend meetings.
To apply please provide a covering letter of no more than one side of A4, with a precis of your experience and skills, and motivations, to kate.cortez@truro.anglican.org by 16 May 2025. For a conversation about any of these roles please contact Kate Cortez at this email address.
