Personal Assistant to the Bishop of Brixworth
The Diocese of Peterborough is looking for an organised, thoughtful and proactive Personal Assistant to support the Bishop of Brixworth.
This is a varied and trusted role at the heart of the Bishop’s Office. You will provide high-quality executive and administrative support, helping the Bishop to serve parishes, clergy and lay leaders across the Diocese and fulfil his wider responsibilities effectively.
You will manage a busy diary, coordinate meetings and church visits, prepare papers and briefings, track actions and handle correspondence with care and discretion. You will also help ensure that enquiries are directed to the right diocesan team and that information is organised, accessible and kept up to date.
The role includes supporting the Bishop’s responsibilities as Sponsoring Bishop for ordinands and Chair of the Peterborough Diocese Board of Education. This will involve coordinating meetings, correspondence and papers, maintaining confidential records and working closely with ordinands, education colleagues, training institutions and diocesan teams.
