Senior Administrator (Ministerial Oversight) in London

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the support team within the Conference Office in the Connexional Team of the Methodist Church in Britain. We are looking to appoint a Senior Administrator to assist in facilitating the efficient operation of the principal decision‑making and oversight bodies of the Methodist Church.

The post holder will manage the processes for stationing of ministers, including the Stationing Matching Group, the Initial Stationing Sub‑Committee, and the Stationing Action Group. The successful applicant will also, in conjunction with colleagues, prepare the draft of the stations to be presented to the Conference.

In this crucial role, the Senior Administrator will provide administrative support, alongside the Executive Officer: Ministerial Oversight, to the Ministerial Coordinator for the Oversight of Ordained Ministries. The post holder will also provide executive support to the Authorisations Committee, including the preparation of the Committee’s report to the Conference. The successful applicant will supervise the arrangement and servicing of meetings and Conference Office events.

This role also involves working collaboratively with support staff in the Conference Office by supporting other parts of the team as they face peaks in their own areas of work. Please note that applications from Methodist Ministers (Presbyters and Deacons) cannot be considered for this role.

We are seeking an individual committed to making a positive contribution to the work of the Conference Office in supporting ministerial oversight within the Methodist Church in Britain. The post holder will have the ability to provide administrative support to a senior executive or within a support team. You will be able to successfully organise and manage a wide‑ranging workload and can master a wide range of subject matter.

The successful applicant will have strong interpersonal skills with the ability and desire to interact positively and diplomatically with a wide range of people in the Methodist Church and Connexional Team and the public in general, and to meet their needs. You work well under pressure and work appropriately with highly confidential information. If you meet most of the requirements, we encourage you to apply; transferable skills and experience will also be taken into consideration.
