What does this look like?You'll work hands on with churches to:
- Review current giving levels and understand financial data.
- Spot opportunities for growth and introduce practical solutions.
- Help implement easy, secure giving options like the Parish Giving Scheme, digital platforms, and contactless devices.
You'll also support stewardship initiatives - creating resources, delivering presentations, and guiding PCCs and clergy step by step.
Beyond the numbersThis role is about people as much as finance. You'll:
