The Diocese of Truro is committed to resourcing and encouraging church communities in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly and needs a highly skilled person to encourage a Diocesan-wide spirit of generosity. We are looking to appoint a Generous Giving Adviser to implement our generous giving strategy in alignment with the National Giving Strategy. This aims to broaden the understanding of and engagement with stewardship across the diocese and help build a thriving and generous church. The majority of the role will be about getting out and meeting with Parochial Church Councils (PCC's), treasurers, clergy and congregations to encourage and enable them to identify and then find the resources, both financial and non-financial, necessary to fulfil their mission. The role involves the continuing promotion and take up of the national Parish Giving Scheme and technology for giving. You will have a passion for mission and stewardship, excellent communication skills, the ability to inspire and engage, and confidence in talking about faith and giving. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who loves working with people to make a real difference to the church communities that make up our diocese. This role will focus on working across West Cornwall to compliment colleagues serving the rest of the county. This role offers the opportunity to make a lasting impact in an interesting role as part of a unique organisation that prides itself on being a supportive employer.

We offer additional benefits such as flexible working, up to 26 days holiday plus bank holidays, a range of wellbeing activities and the Church of England Pension Scheme with 9-15% employer contributions.
