Organizational Unit:
Introduction
The Diocese of Truro is currently undertaking a grassroots change aimed at positioning the Church in Cornwall to tackle the biggest spiritual and societal needs of Cornwall in the 21st Century. This role is to enable and facilitate local engagement and communications with key stakeholders in parishes and deaneries in the implementation of their deanery plans and delivering the Diocesan Plan for Change & Renewal.
This means developing a range of approaches for communications to ensure greater reach and gather input from stakeholders. It also involves working alongside volunteers and clergy to support them in sharing their own stories and engaging people locally.
The right person for this role will be an effective and adaptive communicator skilled in using a range of media and approaches to engage stakeholders, including written content, digital platforms, traditional media, and face-to-face delivery of workshops and meetings. Being proactive, organized, and able to meet deadlines is key. Because it involves working across the diocese, you need to be good with people and interested in what we and our parishes do.
This role offers the opportunity to make a lasting impact 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 and are committed to supporting your development. 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.
This is a fixed-term post to 31 December 2027. The closing date for applications is midnight on 26 February 2025, with interviews being held on 11 March 2025 in Truro.
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.
