Patronage Development Officer

Involved in patronage for more than a century, CPAS is now the largest patron in the Church of England with parishes in every diocese and context. Patronage offers the huge privilege of serving parishes in collaboration with their diocese as they seek their next leader – by which Christ continues to renew his local church’s mission and ministry.

In a time of considerable change and uncertainty we are looking for a colleague to help us strengthen our core work, engage with national conversations and deepen our relationship with our patronage clergy and congregations.

In this high-profile role, you will be relating both to senior leaders within the dioceses and with clergy as they lead parishes and apply for new positions. You will need highly developed people skills and emotional intelligence, strong leadership wisdom and insight, and the ability to work meticulously with process and detail. You are likely to be a well thought out and articulate minister committed to orthodox evangelical theology but able to work well in the changing context of the Church of England.

As women are currently underrepresented in our team, we would particularly welcome enquiries and applications from female as well as male candidates.
