Parish Administrator (Part-Time)

St Chad’s Handforth are looking for an enthusiastic and capable administrator to play an important role in the smooth running of parish life. You will be a welcoming first point of contact for the church, providing practical and administrative support to the vicar. We are looking for someone who enjoys working with people, is well organised and adaptable, and can handle sensitive information with discretion and pastoral confidentiality. If you think this person might be you then we would love to speak with you.

St Chad’s is the local Anglican parish church of Handforth, Cheshire. We are a Christian fellowship whose vision is to “Know Christ and make Him known” in our community. We are a diverse group of people from a variety of ages, cultures and backgrounds where everyone is welcome to find their place within the family of God.

The parish of Handforth has a population of approximately 10,000 and is now beginning to think of itself as a town rather than a village due to new local housing developments on all sides.

There are many activities regularly taking place at St Chad’s, including a community café (Café Aroma) which is open twice a week, house groups, explorer courses (such as 321/Alpha) and we meet to worship on Wednesdays at 10.30am and Sundays at 10am. We have a very close relationship with Hope Central, a Christian charity who seek to bring hope and relieve poverty in Cheshire East through the use of a food bank, food pantry, debt support, job club, life skills courses, etc.
