We are looking for an experienced, pro-active and highly skilled administrator and team leader to head up our operations team based at Church House in Truro, which provides administrative support for a wide range of teams and functions across the organisation.

You will have a strong background in effective team leadership and service management, be a self-starter who can take the initiative, but also have   excellent administrative and IT skills. As someone who leads by example and an eye for detail, you will be able to manage a range of competing priorities.  You will be easily recognised as a safe pair of hands, in whom colleagues have confidence that you will get the job done.

This is an opportunity to be part of a professional and hard-working team. The work will be varied and interesting, and with almost all our employees working from home at present, sometimes challenging, but you will have the ability to contribute to the overall aims of an organisation that serves many people across Cornwall, and that places wellbeing at the heart of what it does.

Staff benefits include an employer pension scheme with 9-15% employer contribution, 25 days annual leave, access to an employee assistance programme, and eye test vouchers.

You do not need to be a practising Christian, but do need to be sympathetic to the aims and objectives of the Church of England, and committed to our organisational values.
