The role covers bookkeeping and all finance-related matters, data protection, pastoral care and pensions, policy development and many other aspects of administration. As such, the role requires excellent interpersonal and time-management skills, attention to detail, confidence in using online resources and plenty of initiative to effectively solve problems.
