In most instances, responsibility for the repair of the church and its chancel rests with the Parochial Church Council (PCC). However, there are approximately 5,200 chancels in England and Wales where the liability to repair the church’s chancel rests with someone else. This liability derives from the transfer of monastic lands and income following the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1534 and relates solely to particular churches, all of which were in existence at that point, and are thus primarily historic buildings.

The Church Commissioners, who have liability for almost 800 church chancels and have recently taken on the financial liability for a further 190 chancels where the liability rests with a cathedral, are now looking to recruit an experienced property professional to help oversee this area of work and provide support in managing property repair projects of substantially historic church buildings.

Introduction

As Chancels Project Officer you will review and agree the Commissioners’ liability for chancel repairs with PCC’s, approve specifications, act as client representative for building projects and instruct architects.

This post provides the opportunity for Hybrid working which could include being in Church House, London, working from home and at delivery locations across England as necessary.

To arrange an informal conversation please contact greg.hudson@churchofengland.org

The closing date for applications is 7 September 2023.

Interviews will be held on 15 September 2023.

The Church of England is for everyone, and we want to reflect the diversity of the community the Church serves across the whole country.
