This is a great opportunity to work in a parish environment for someone with proven administration/secretarial experience. Applicants should have a warm, friendly, approachable manner and be trustworthy and discreet.

The Secretary will have an important role to play in ensuring the smooth running of the parish office, including working alongside many valued volunteers. As such, good communications skills are vital, as well as the ability to be flexible and adaptable.
