Giving Advisor

Generous Giving Officer

Do you have a passion for helping churches thrive? As a Generous Giving Officer in the Church of England, you'll play a vital role in supporting parishes to build healthy, sustainable patterns of giving.

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 numbers

This role is about people as much as finance. You'll:

• Coach leaders on talking about money with confidence.
• Provide templates for giving campaigns and improve financial reporting.
• Promote good governance and troubleshoot practical issues like Gift Aid.
• Work closely with treasurers, churchwardens, and clergy to plan for the future.

Through practical advice, training, and relational support, you'll help churches build strong financial foundations - so they can focus on what matters most: mission and ministry.

This position combines two part time roles: one as a Giving Advisor and another to cover maternity leave for 12 months. After the 12 month period, the role may become full time, depending on the workload.
