The Parish Support Team aims for everyone to feel that they belong and are valued for who they are and what they contribute. Together, our people contribute in different ways towards our purpose, living out our values of kindness, commitment, and collaboration.

We are a safe, inclusive workplace for people of all backgrounds and walks of life. We welcome applications from people of all faiths and of no faith. We want to encourage applications from a diverse group of people who share our values. Even if you have never thought about working for us before, if you have the skills and experience we are looking for then we would like to hear from you.

We try to be as flexible as we can in your work pattern to support you with other commitments, and to give a good work-life balance.
